Line 1
Gaudreau - Monahan - Neal
You’d be crazy not to put a reliable 20 goal scorer with Johnny and Mony.
Line 2
Tkachuk - Backlund - Lindholm
All 3 have defensive prowess and can score in bunches.
Line 3A
Bennett - Ryan - Frolik
It’s put up or shut up time for Bennett this year, Frolik, if healthy, is usually good for around 20/20.
Line 3B
Brouwer/Foo/Mangiapane - Jankowski - Czarnik
As much as we all want Brouwer gone, he is probably the leading candidate to make the opening roster unless one of the young guys severely out performs him in the preseason. I feel the bottom 6 should play about equal minutes with guys like Ryan, Czarnik, Bennett, Jankowski getting some occasional PP time.
D Pair 1
Giordano - Brodie
Brodano!!!
D Pair 2
Hanifin - Hamonic
Hamofin?
D Pair 3
Kulak/Andersson - Stone
Kulak and Andersson splitting time with Stone on a game by game basis and hopefully Stone gets a few PP minutes to unload his cannon.
Goalies
Smith
Rittich
I feel like Rittich is slightly ahead of Gillies at this point but hopefully Smith isn’t over worked and can stay of the IR. Something like a 50/30 split.
