Speculation: Updated Line-ups

[Kraken Jokes]

I'd like to see an update by fans showing where their teams are now.

Rules/Format (for whoever cares):
- NO TRADE PROPOSALS
- Post a lineup including players currently under contract as well as RFAs
- Under your lineup list up to 3 most likely call-ups.
- Newly-signed UFAs in bold (including resigned)
- RFAs in italics
- Post what you feel your teams biggest needs are.

eg.
Radulov - Galchenyuk - Gallagher
Pacioretty - Plekanec - Andrighetto
Carr - Desharnais - Shaw
Byron - Danault - Mitchell
(Flynn, Matteau)

Beaulieu - Weber
Emelin - Petry
Markov - Pateryn
(Barberio)

Price
Montoya

Call-ups: Hudon, Redmond, De La Rose

Our line 3 is on the small side no matter what way you reasonably slice it. I'd like to add a legit 3rd line forward with size and the will to use it but the cap makes it difficult.

[CreamOfTheCrop]

Radulov is a RW my friend.

 

[BananaSquad]

Ennis - O'Reilly - Okposo
Kane - Eichel - Reinhart
Foligno - Larsson - Gionta
Moulson - Girgensons - Des
Vesey***

Kulikov - Ristolainen
McCabe - Bogosian
Gorges - Nelson/ Franson

Lehner
Nilsson
Ullmark

 

[CrypTic]

Meier * - Thornton - Pavelski
Boedeker - Couture - Donskoi
Marleau - Hertl - Goldobin *
Nieto/Wingels/Karlsson - Tierney - Ward

Vlasic - Braun
Martin - Burns
Dillon/Schlemko - DeMelo/Schlemko

Jones
Dell*

Call-ups: Carpenter, Sorensen, Heed

* Currently in the AHL or will be next year if not in NHL (Meier). Goldobin is likely to play in the NHL IMO. I'm not sure about Meier. I hope they get a back-up goalie but Dell did well in the AHL last year so he may be it.

ETA Needs: A back-up goalie and more scoring from the blue line (besides Burns). More scoring from the 4th line and maybe the 3rd line would be nice.

 

[McFlyingV]

Oilers

Lucic - McDavid - Eberle
Pouliot - Nuge - Puljujarvi
Maroon - Draisaitl - Yakupov
Hendricks - Letestu - Kassian
(Pakarinen, Lander)

Klefbom-Larsson
Sekera-Davidson
Nurse-Fayne
(Oesterle, Reinhart [likely AHL])

Talbot
Gustavsson/Brossoit

Most likely callups/potential to make team out of camp:
Forwards: Caggiula, Khaira, Slepyshev
Defence: Reinhart, Musil, Fraser/Simpson

Biggest need is a puck moving Dman who can quarterback the top power play with a RH shot.

 

[MonyontheMoney]

Gaudreau - Monahan - Brouwer
Stajan - Backlund - Frolik
Tkachuk - Bennett - Chiasson
Bouma - F.Hamilton - Ferland
Bollig

Brodie - D.Hamilton
Giordano - Engelland
Jokipakka - Wideman
Wotherspoon

Elliott
Johnson

Callups: Kulak (D), Shinkaruk (F), Hathaway (F)

We could certainly use another top 6 winger. Tkachuk is no guarantee to make it, Shinkaruk could possibly take that spot as well, but those are things we shouldn't plan on happening. In order to add, it's likely we have to shed salary, hopefully on D, since we have young guys who have proven they are effective in the NHL, so clearing a spot back there along with some salary to allow us to address our top 6 wing is also important at this point.

 

[Igor Shestyorkin]

Miller -- Brassard -- Zuccarello
Kreider -- Stepan -- Nash
Grabner -- Hayes -- Buchnevich
Glass -- Hrivik/Gerbe(?) -- Fast
(Gerbe, Hrivik/Jensen)

McDonagh -- Girardi
Staal -- Klein
Holden -- Skjei
(McIlrath, Clendening)

Lundqvist
Raanta

Call-ups: Graves, Paliotta, Hrivik/Jensen

IR: Lindberg

Biggest needs:

Top 4 Right Handed PMD. Get rid of Staal, Girardi, and Glass.

 

[kanucks25]

Sedin - Sedin - Eriksson
Baertschi - Horvat - Virtanen
Burrows - Sutter - Hansen
Gaunce/Etem - Granlund - Dorsett
(Rodin)

Edler - Tanev
Hutton - Gudbranson
Sbisa - Tryamkin
(Larsen)

Miller
Markstrom


Rodin is a wild-card. He's the reigning SHL MVP but didn't do well in his first stint in North America. Could be a 2nd liner, could be a total bust.

I personally wouldn't have Sbisa in my top-6 D but our coach will put him in for sure.

 

[Canuck Luck]

Sedin - Sedin - Eriksson
Baerstchi - Horvat - Hansen
Rodin - Sutter - Virtanen

Sbisa - Larsen
(Tryamkin, Pedan)

Markstrom

Danault - Desharnais - Shaw
Byron - Mitchell - Andrighetto
(Flynn, Matteau)

Beaulieu - Weber
Markov - Petry
Emelin - Pateryn
(Barberio)

Price
Montoya

Call-ups: McCarron, Hudon, Lehkonen

Biggest needs:
- A top-6 left wing
- A puck-moving top-4 LHD
- Getting rid of Desharnais and Emelin.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

J. van Riemsdyk --- T. Bozak --- W. Nylander
L. Komarov --- N. Kadri --- N. Soshnikov / C. Brown
C. Greening / M. Michalek --- A. Matthews --- M. Marner
M. Martin --- B. Laich --- K. Rychel / P. Holland / Z. Hyman

M. Rielly --- M. Hunwick

Desharnais out McCarron in.

[Our Lady Peace]

Huberdeau - Barkov - Jagr
Jokinen - Trocheck - Smith

Shaw - MacKenzie - Marchessault
McCann (AHL)
Brickley (AHL)
Thornton

Yandle - Ekblad
Matheson - Demers
Pysyk - Petrovic
Kampfer

Luongo
Reimer
Berra

Defense was largely addressed and hopefully an even greater emergence of Matheson back there will give the left side some stability behind Yandle.

McCann in the AHL ? Why ?!?

 

[Omni Owl]

McCann in the AHL ? Why ?!?

Obviously so some guy named Crouse can play.

 

[BlueDream]

Schwartz - Lehtera - Tarasenko
Fabbri - Stastny - Perron
Steen - Berglund - Jaskin
Upshall - Brodziak - Reaves
Rattie, Paajarvi

Bouwmeester - Pietrangelo
Gunnarsson - Shattenkirk
Edmundson - Parayko
Bortuzzo

Allen
Hutton

Call-ups: Butler, Lindbohm, Schmaltz

Sobotka should be another soon-to-be signed player from the KHL.

 

[Adam Spylo]

Pacioretty - Galchenyuk - Radulov
Hudon/Andrighetto - Plekanec - Gallagher
Carr - Desharnais - Shaw
Byron - Danault - Mitchell
Andrighetto/Hudon, Flynn

Beaulieu - Weber
Markov - Petry
Emelin - Pateryn
Barberio

Price
Montoya

 

[Lapa]

Parise - Staal - Coyle
Granlund - Koivu - Zucker
Niederreiter - Haula - Pominville
Stewart - Graovac - Schroeder

Suter - Spurgeon
Brodin - Dumba
Scandella - Reilly

Dubnyk
Kuemper

- The most likely scenario is that we re-sign Ryan Carter to play in Schroeder's place
- Most likely call-ups: Gabriel, Bartley, Olofsson
- I wouldn't be surprised if we traded Kuemper and played Stalock as our backup
- I'd say our biggest needs are 1C (Staal is a needed addition, but we need a younger 1C), bottom 6 RW (Schroeder isn't the best fit to play in the 4th line) and a top 6 RW (Pominville is getting old, Zucker is inconsistent and Coyle is the only legit top 6 RW we have)

 

[Juxtaposer]

IMO for the Sharks:

Timo Meier-Joe Thornton-Joe Pavelski
Joel Ward-Logan Couture-Joonas Donskoi
Patrick Marleau-Tomas Hertl-Mikkel Boedker
Matt Nieto-Chris Tierney-Melker Karlsson
Tommy Wingels
Nikolay Goldobin (AHL)
Marcus Sorensen (AHL)

Marc-Edouard Vlasic-Justin Braun
Paul Martin-Brent Burns
Brenden Dillon-David Schlemko
Dylan DeMelo
Tim Heed (AHL)
Mirco Mueller (AHL)

Martin Jones
Aaron Dell (by default)

Hopefully we'll sign a better backup. I think it is highly likely that Wingels is traded (90% chance IMO) and there's a decent chance Dillon is too (~40%). If Meier needs to start in the AHL then put Karlsson in his place.

 

[A91]

If the roster stays the exact same

Lucic - McDavid - Yakupov
Pouliot - RNH - Eberle
Maroon - Draisaitl - Puljujarvi
Hendricks - Letestu - Pakarinen

Klefbom - Larsson
Sekera - Fayne
Nurse - Davidson

Talbot
Gustavvson

 

[Adam Michaels]

Pacioretty - Galchenyuk - Radulov
Andrighetto - Plekanec - Gallagher
Carr - McCarron - Shaw
Byron - Danault - Mitchell

Beaulieu - Weber
Markov - Petry
Barberio - Pateryn

Price
Montoya

Just a hunch: I feel like Emelin, Desharnais, and Condon will be gone.
