    Any guesses on starting lineup?

    Koivunen Crosby Rust
    Mcgroaty Malkin Rakell
    Tomasino Novak Mantha
    Heinen Hayes Brazeau
    Dewar Lizotte Accari

    Graves Letang
    Shea Karlsson
    Pickering Clifton
    Wotherspoon Dumba
    Alexyev St ivany
    Jones Brunicke

    Jarry
    Silovs
    Blom
    Murashov

    At least goalie will be sorted. Jarry and silovs in the N. Blom and Murashov sharing starts in the A. Hopefully Jarry costs us all the games but for some reason I feel like we will see All Star Jar.

    An absolute gluttony of sucking on defence and forward depth though.

    I was reading your post and was thinking the exact same thing as your last sentence. Outside of 5 or 6 players, this is a whole lot of suck and question marks. I think McG ends up with Sid. I think they send Brunicke back to juniors unless he makes it impossible for the coaches to justify it.

    Oh man so many guys on D. At least we’ll have a good D core in the AHL (Jones, Alexeyev, St.Ivany, Pickering…) Brunicke should be back in juniors unfortunately. Next season Pickering and Brunicke are up.

    I know absolutely nothing about Wotherspoon and Clifton’s game aside the hitting part. I was hoping Graves never wore the Penguins jersey anymore and expect Dumba to be used.

    I’d go Letang, Karlsson, Dumba, Pickering, Shea, Brunicke and Clifton as our Top 7 D men, in no specific order. But Graves, Wotherspoon and Alexeyev will have playing time.

    I thought I remember reading letang will be out to start the year so I’d imagine we get karlsson dumba and Clifton on the right side. I feel like graves will get another chance with the new coach as well as Shea and either Witherspoon or Pickering on the 3rd pair.

    With the massive cap jumps graves isn’t such a detriment and will probably be on par with what ppl of his caliber get paid in a year or two. But hopefully a new coach/system will allow him to tread water enough for a trade. Or him and Jarry absolutely tank us
