Guys we can write in ink (ignore the line combos):

Huberdeau - Lindholm - Toffoli
Mangiapane - Kadri - Dube
XXXXXXX - Backlund - Coleman
Lucic - XXXXXXX - Lewis

Assuming 13-14 forwards (I bet they just go with 13) there are 3-4 spots available, to be filled from this group:

Rooney
Eakins
Milano
Ruzicka
Pelletier
Schwindt
Klapka (added as a wild dark horse for the more aggressive bettors)

And I won't be surprised if there is one more name added to the mix before camp.

So how do you think it shakes out? I'll say they start with 13, and that includes Rooney (4th C), Milano (3rd line LW) and Ruzicka (13th forward).
Looking that this list I wish Treliving didn't sign Rooney to $1.3 mil. The rest of the players probably get less than that and I'd love to see Eakins in over Rooney, especially if you can save some cap.

I'd love to see a 4th line with Klapka and Lucic. I think Klapka gets sent down but I bet he plays quite a few games with the Flames this year
