Gaudreau - Monahan - Hudler: it was too successful to split up
Colborne - Bennett - Frolik: amazing possession line that can cycle
Ferland - Backlund - Jones: Lots of speed and size. Powerful shutdown line
Bouma - Stajan - Jooris: Amazing shutdown line with enough skill to chip in offensively

Engelland is one of the best pkers we have. His skill set is uniquely tailored to penalty killing. As a penalty killer, strength, shot blocking and having a big body are perfect. He has poor first pass and limited mobility, but those are less important when your only real concern is preventing offense

Hate to say it and hopin it ain't true, but I think Lance Bouma's contract demands get him traded. Also traded are Engelland, Bollig, Raymond in a purge. Jones and Hiller are also moved for picks while their value is high.
Opening day lineups:
Gaudreau-Monahan-Frolik
Ferland-Backlund-Jooris
Hudler-Bennett-Colborne
Byron-Stajan-Shore
Granlund
Wolf
Giordano-Brodie
Smid-Hamilton
Russell-Wideman
Schlemko
Ortio #1
Ramo #1B
PP1
Gio-Hamilton
Gaudreau-Monahan-Hudler
PP2
Russell-Wideman
Bennett-Backlund-Frolik with a dose of Granlund
PK1
Gio-Wideman
Monahan-Colborne
PK2
Smid-Brodie
Backlund-Frolik
PK3
Russell-Hamilton
Stajan-Jooris with a dose of Granlund
PK4
Brodie-Hamilton
Byron-Ferland

Gaudreau-Monahan-Hudler: played how they were played last year, lots of minutes.
Bouma-Backlund-Frolik: play against other teams top lines allowing Bennett to play against easier lines. This line also consists of our best defensive forwards.
Ferland-Bennett-Jones: plays against easier lines. Size, skill and intensity
Colborne-Stajan-Jooris: skill, speed and good defensively
Do what u can with Byron, shore, granlund, Raymond and bollig

Who knows, there haven't been any reports. Claiming "His contract demands will get him traded" is irrational and dramatic at this point.

Bennett and Jones on the same line? It's too bad we still don't have Big Ern. Those three on a line could have been called "law and order"

I would expect Raymond and Hiller to be shipped out by October. To start the year I think we'll see:
Gaudreau Monahan Hudler
Bennett Backlund Frolik ---> Sam starts the season on the wing
Bouma Colborne Jones
Ferland Stajan Jooris
Bollig/Byron
Giordano Hamilton ----> HUT wet dream
Brodie Engelland ---> had decent chemistry against Vancouver
Russell Wideman ---> best 3rd pairing in the league
Wotherspoon
Ramo
Ortio
As Bennett adapts to the NHL he'll be playing C full time before Christmas, so:
Gaudreau Monahan Frolik
Colborne Bennett Hudler ----> super babysitter Jiri slots in with Sam
Bouma Backlund Jones
Ferland Stajan Jooris
Bollig/Byron
Giordano Brodie ---> too much chemistry to deny for long
Wotherspoon Hamilton ---> pals from WJC, Spoon must be ready soon
Russell Wideman ---> best 3rd pairing in the NHL
Engelland
Ortio ---> he'll be hungry to prove that his cameo last season wasn't a fluke.
Ramo
Obviously none of this factors in David Jones being injured for half the season. Shore, Granlund, Poirier, Gillies, Klimchuk, Hunter Smith, Kulak and Culkin should all have excellent camps and could make things interesting in September.
Longterm, I don't see Raymond, Hiller, Jones, Stajan, Bollig or... Wideman as part of the team. I expect all 6 to be gone by the trade deadline to make room for Giordano and possibly Hudler's contract extensions.
What I love about the forward lineup is that there are 5 or 6 players who can play any forward positions, and can slot in anywhere up and down the lineup. It's so adaptable and versatile. The D is, on paper, up there with the best in the league. I hope this turns out better than when we last had an outstanding D corps and it failed miserably (Phaneuf, Regehr, Bouwmeester, Giordano, Sarich). At least now we have a proper coach so that shouldn't capsize like it did back then.

Yes, but with Gio-Hamilton in the lineup their match ups would be much more favourable than they were against the Ducks.

I'm assuming Shore makes the team out of training camp or is traded.
