I think the personnel is likely correct, but I also think a top 6 wing spot is Mikheyev's to lose.

I could see this happen.

I agree they likely don't want an all seniors 4th line, with Thornton the most likely to start on 3rd line.

Vesey will definitely get a shot in the top 6 at some point, I wouldn't mind him starting the year up there.

Dermott could start at 7D, I'd prefer one of the other 3, but it could be Dermott to start.

I think you pretty much nailed it from a personnel standpoint.

Where everybody actually slots in is still to be determined IMO.

This is the most accurate "people on the starting roster" version that I've seen yet.

Nice work.

Im thinking its between Dermott and Bogosian for who sits and I gave opening night to the new guy.
