[Dr Jan Itor]

Kaprizov - new guy - new guy
Greenway - Eriksson Ek - Kunin
Parise (or new guy) - Rask (or new guy) - new guy

Brodin - Dumba
Suter - new guy
Seeler - new guy

Kahkkonen or new guy

 

[Kevin Musto]

Based only on players in the system? So assuming no UFA signings or future prospects get drafted?

Kurashev-Toews-Kane
DeBrincat-Strome-Barratt
Entwistle-Wise-Nordgren
Kubalik-Kampf-Kahun
Kayumov

Beaudin-Mitchell
Boqvist-Jokiharju
Keith-Seabrook

[Outofbodyinhungary]

Isn’t this kinda For the NHL talk board? Correct me if I am wrong tho!

 

[ViktorBaeArvidsson]

Forsy - Joey - Arvi
Tolvanen (Maybe) - Turris - Fiala
Mismash - Sissons - Jarny
New - New - New

Josi - Ellis
Ekholm - Subban
Carrier - Fabbro (Maybe, if not then Allard)

Saros
New (Cause Rinne probably retires in 3)

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Good thread idea.. I like hearing from all fan bases

 

[Kcb12345]

If everything turns out unrealistically well for our prospects it'll look something like this, with us being the new Tampa Bay Lightning:

Benn-Seguin-Radulov
Robertson-Dellandrea-Eriksson
Hintz-Damiani-Gurianov
Tufte-Faksa-Felhaber

Heiskanen-Klingberg
Lindell-Bayreuther
Stenqvist-Gleason

Bishop
Oettinger/Point


But this is the Dallas Stars we're talking about, so this is how it'll actually turn out:

Benn-Seguin-Radulov
XXXX-XXXX-XXXX (3rd liners Nill signs)
Hintz-Faksa-Gurianov
Robertson-Dellandrea-XXXX (Nill signs or some junk like Ritchie)

Heiskanen-Klingberg
Lindell-XXXX
XXXX-XXXX

Bishop
XXXX

 

[Tkachuckycheese]

Tkachuk/new guy - Brown - Batherson
new guy/Tkachuk - Norris - White
Formenton - Chlapik - new guy
Crookshank - new guy - new guy

Chabot - DeMelo
Lajoie - JBD
Wolanin - Jaros/ maybe new guy

Gustavsson or new guy

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Chytil-?-Kravtsov
Kreider-Zibanejad-Buchnevich
Andersson-Howden-?
Gettinger-Barron-Fast

?-Pionk
Rykov-Lundkvist
Miller-Reunanen
Skjei/DeAngelo

Shestyorkin
Georgiyev

We need a 1C or at least a star winger, and then we can shift around some pieces, likely Chytil playing as the 2C behind Zibanejad. We don't have anyone in the system that can fill that hole. Maybe the team can draft a star player in the upcoming season or two. We also need another top 9 player for the Howden and Andersson line. We have a few players in the system who could fill that role, like Pajuniemi, Hughes, maybe Barron moves up, and someone else can be the 4C.

We also have a lot of similar caliber defensemen. We probably don't have any better than a 3D on the team or in the system, so its mostly take your pick right now between Miller, Lundkvist, Rykov, Reunanen, Hajek, Lindgren, Keane to go along with Pionk, DeAngelo and Skjei. And then we have a few lower caliber defensemen like Crawley, Gross, Sjalin, Ragnarsson who might be able to eventually carve out an NHL role. Most likely, these defensemen can fill up our defense, except for the top pairing. We don't have any of those types of players, but its unlikely we'll have two top pairing defensemen in three years. We should try to draft at least one of these players in the next two drafts.

Dunn - Parayko

No idea about the goalies, hopefully Binnington. Also pretty unsure about the bottom 6. Fabbri could easily be in the top 6 as well but he's had a tough time with injuries the past couple years so hard to predict where he'll be.

why no Bokk?

 

[sufferer]

Skinner - Eichel - Olofsson
Nylander - Mittelstadt - Reinhart
Smith - Rodrigues - Thompson
Asplund - Larsson - Girgensons

Dahlin - Ristolainen
Pilut - Borgen
Guhle - McCabe

Ullmark
Luukkonen

Likely more than half of these guys won't be in the organization due to the expansion draft and the general frequency of roster turnover on unsuccessful teams, so it's a moot. I would've liked to have seen something resembling these forward lines at the beginning of 2019.

 

[LGB]

why no Bokk?

He could easily be on the third line instead of Kostin or Blais. Really hard to project the bottom 6 besides Sundqvist being there.

 

[PAZ]

If everything pans out:

Landeskog - Mackinnon - Rantanen
Bowers - Jost - Kaut
Shvyrvov - Kamenev - Compher
Barron - Morrison - Greer

Girard - EJ
Zadorov - Makar
Timmins - Barrie

Realistically:

Landeskog - Mackinnon - Rantanen
X - X - Kaut
Jost* - Bowers - Compher
X - Kamenev* - Greer*

Girard - EJ
Zadorov - Makar
Timmins* - Barrie*

X
Grubauer/Francouz*

*astericks players are questionable, i'd probably give them a 25% chance they'll still be on the team in 3 years... so maybe 1 or 2 of them.

I'm going all in with this line up. Many kids, Price drafted by Seattle, Petry traded, Tatar no resigned. Just for fun.

Kane-Hertl-(Acqusition)
Checkovich-Couture-Meier
EU UFA-Suomela/Pavelski-Chmelvski/Blichfeld
EU UFA- True- 7th Round Pick

Vlasic-Karlsson
Dillon/Simek-Burns
EU UFA-Merkeley

Jones
Kronenar/Bibeau

Bold= Protected in Expansion Draft. Guessing one of Brenden Dillon or Simek are selected. Assuming Meier and Karlsson are retained this summer, SJ will need to make decisions on Donskoi, Labanc, and Pavelski. I expect in three years one of them is on the roster, but it's hard to say which. Similarly, 1-2 of Chmelvski, Blichfeld, Checkovich, and True will likely become mainstays but it's impossible to guess. Aside from Meier who's an RFA without arbitration, and Karlsson/Pavelski who will either get 3+ or be gone this summer, the Sharks core of Burns, Couture, Vlasic, Kane, Hertl, and Jones are locked in.

These threads are such a guessing game and always look hilarious in hindsight, but I'll give it a go anyway.

You forgot Polak! We really need a couple of these forward pospects to work out. Benn and Radulov might be pretty bad in three years time.
