Description

Don't think Raymond or Berggren make the team straight away, Berggren would be the 1st callup, Raymond the 2nd. I think they try to sneak Pearson through waivers, and Smith will rotate in (I don't think he'll make it through waivers).

Seider makes the team in the top 4. No PP to start (Leddy will soak up primary PP time), but definitely, PK time to start.

From a line perspective, I think the Czech's start with Larkin, and the Guelph line is the 2nd line (chemistry should be easy since they played together before). Stick Namestnikov with the kids, to give them some structure, along with another player that can play C.

For the other special teams, I don't think Vrana starts on the PP1, mainly because his game is predicated on speed, which isn't something you can do on the PP.

All bets are off at the TDL.
