Starting NHL line-ups thread

[Bizz]

Sharks should be

Eklund-Granlund-Zetterlund
Gushchin-Celebrini-Toffoli
Kostin-Smith-Wennberg
Goodrow-Sturm-Kunin
Grundstrom
regular call ups: Bordeleau, Cardwell, Graf
Couture(LTIR)

Ferraro-Mukhmadullin
Walman-Ceci
Thrun-Vlasic
Benning
Rutta
potential call up: Cagnoni

Vanacek/Blackwood 50/50 split
better one traded at the deadline, Askarov takes over starting job

but probably won't.

Edit:

looks like Celebrini is getting put on the top line. Even after Warsofsky said he'd be sheltered. Interesting. Gushchin should easily work his way up onto the third line at some point.

Not sure what Tocchet's thoughts are on bringing back last years first line but this strikes me as the best (forward) lineup under those conditions:

Suter - Miller - Boeser
DeBrusk - Pettersson - Sprong
Hoglander - Blueger - Garland
Heinen - Raty - Sherwood

Might be but for the first game it sounds like they want Heinen with Miller and Boeser. They have Suter with Raty and Hoglander in practice.

Canucks practice lines yesterday:

Silovs/Lankinen

Roy not making the team


I don’t understand Laf on the top line over Moore on the 3rd

Moore and Danault have very good chemistry so it doesnt really make sense to break them up. The Kopi line LW could be a revolving door with guys like Turcotte, Foegele, Akil Thomas getting looks if Laf isn't cutting it.

Gadjovich-J.Boqvist- Greer
Entwistle

Forsling- Ekblad
Mikkola- Kulikov

Balinskis

Is Knight not the backup? Or is this just a paper move so that they can try to sneak Dreidger down past waivers once all the lineups are set? My fantasy team would prefer Knight in the NHL instead of in the AHL.

Yeah it's just a cap move to stay compliant until they can bring Knight back up.
