Line ups in China and we'll see that change over pre-season but a good sense on how things could start in the regular season. Maybe Dube or Mangiapane can replace Hathaway with good showings on the 4th line. Top 2 lines are almost 1a and 1b. Bottom 6 looks really deep. I like our forward depth now. Lazar could see a lot of press box time as 13th forward.
Maybe Rittich is backup over Gillies. Maybe Glass could find that back up spot. Back up is a big question mark still but I think Rittich's to lose.
Don't see much changing for defence. Andersson or Prout as 7th.
