What do you guys think will be the starting lineup?
I'm thinking something like this:
Pacioretty-Desharnais-Briere
Bourque-Plekanec-Gionta
Galchenyuk-Eller-Gallagher
Prust-Bournival-White or Moen-White-Prust
On defense, it gets trickier:
Subban-Gorges
Markov-Murray
Diaz-Bouillon
or
Subban-Gorges
Markov-Murray
Tinordi-Diaz
I honestly don't see Therrien scratching Diaz or Bouillon for Tinordi, it doesn't seem like his style. But I certainly think Tinordi has earned his spot on the roster. I'm really curious to see how they will fit Tinordi and Bournival into the lineup, if they even do.
Neither Markov or Murray are worth a damn on the right side (nor would I put them together), so I would say that Tinordi's either going to be on the right side with Murray/Bouillon (hopefully Murray) on the 3rd pair and Markov/Diaz on the 2nd pair or the right side with Markov on the 2nd pair and Diaz with Murray/Bouillon on the 3rd pair../at least for now.
