On the eve of the modified 2021 season, the Chicago lines/pairings look like this:

DeBrincat - Strome - Kane (the only D that this line will execute, is in the name of the LW)
Janmark - Wallmark - Shaw (a 4th line playing in the top six)
Kubalik - Suter - Pirri (Kubalik will move up, but, Pirri has already failed once in Chi)
Highmore - Kampf - Carpenter (and an appropriate 4th line)

Keith - Murphy (Murphy belongs nowhere near a top pairing)
Zadorov-Boqvist (Disipline will be a problem here)
de Haan - Mitchell (I expect Keith to get every 3rd shift with deHaan until he finally breaks down)
Beaudin - Carlsson (a lot of time in the press box here, waiting for a trip back to the Rock, when Seabrook is fit)

(and a goaltending corps that strikes fear! (in the hearts of 'Hawk fans!))
Subban
Delia
Lankinen

I feel sympathy for the goalie rotation, a wretched defense that will not be helped by the top forwards, will mean the goaltenders will be under siege.

It's going to be a loooong shortened season for 'Hawk fans.
