To guess next year's lines I would have to resurrect the "Coach Ward Lineup Dartboard" again.
I have no idea where even to start guessing. We have alot of RFA's coming up this year (Wolf, Hanowski, Van Brabant, Arnold, Agostino, Acolaste, Ramage, Cundari, Reinhart and Elson) and I'm not sure which of those will be resigned/traded/let go. Thiessen, Potter, Seto and Grats are UFA's. Yonkman is probably close to retirement. Hathaway, Tousi, Carr and Stevenson only have AHL deals for 1 year.
No clue what will happen in goal, I DOUBT Ortio is back. I think we will also have a new backup goalie.
Safe to assume Kulak, Culkin and Sieloff will start in the AHL. Wotherspoon is more than likely NHL bound after this season. Depending on how Culkin comes back from the injury, he could be a partial year AHL'er.
The only forwards with any certainty would be Reinhart, Klimchuk and Carroll. Poirier and Granlund will be NHL'ers.
