This is exactly how i see the opening night lineup as well.

Barring that Edvinsson doesn't make the team and goes to GR. And then gets his 9 game trial at the end of the season.

I concur, but do think Veleno and Ras are interchangeable, o that 4th line. My only concern is is a RHD center to take face offs late in games.

yzerman has said repeatedly he wants GR to have a deep run. I could see Veleno lead that team instead of 4th line in Det with all the new young yzerman picks now in GR

Yeah i could see that as well, Veleno is waiver exempt for one more year. Might as well keep him down there at least until the Trade Deadline.

That Grand Rapids team could be pretty fun to watch with potentially Jonatan Berggren, Joe Veleno, Filip Zadina, Elmer Soderblom, Albert Johanssen, Donovan Sebrango & Simon Edvinsson over there.

I’ve seen reports of Cossa potentially coming this year as well but I think he may stay in the WHL for another season.

Am I missing anybody else ?
