I don't know if those are your intended lines, but I just can't see the head coach splitting up Horak and Howse after the last couple of years they've had together.
This is my dilemma as well. Abbotsford looks so deep at the center position (Wahl, Horak, Bouma, and Byron). Nemisz can also play center and is damn good at it too. Bouma played first and second lines last season. Byron seems like the best player for the first line considering his points totals from last season. Yet, Horak and Howse has awesome chemistry and could be a great first line. Not to mention Wahl who I don't believe has been able to prove himself as the skilled playmaker we all know he is.

Yeah but Horak and Howse will be rookie pros and probably not start on the top unit. They may end up there partway through the year but I expect players who have played several seasons more of pro to edge them out. Abby may get some veteran players on AHL deals as well who might be ahead of Horak/Howse.
Not sure how several of our rosters don't have Bancks! lol
If Byron starts in Calgary you could have
Bancks-Wahl-Nemisz
Bouma-Horak-Howse
Meyers-Patterson-Cameron
