[420since1974]

My predictions for this season's opening night roster:

I took into consideration contracts, waiver statuses, positions, and how far up/down in the lineup that I can see them playing successfully:

Gaudreau (LW) – Monahan (C) - Neal (LW/RW)
Tkachuk (LW/RW) – Backlund (C) – Lindholm (C/RW)
Bennett (LW/C) – Jankowski (C) – Frolik (LW/C/RW)
Klimchuk (LW) – Ryan (C/RW) – Czarnik (RW)
Spares: Rychel (LW), Lazar (C/RW)

I don’t think that we’ll see Mangiapane unless one of the Top 3 LW get injured, same situation with Foo on the RW. Dube will get the first call-up at C regardless of which one goes down.

Giodano (LD) – Brodie (LD/RD)
Hanifin (LD) – Hamonic (RD)
Kulak (LD) – Stone (LD/RD)
Spare: Prout (RD)

Kylington or Valimaki will be first callups on the left side, Andersson first on the right.

Smith
Rittich

Gillies to get first call-up
