Description

So far from what is happening at the voluntary skates:

Drouin-Mack-(probably Nichuskin, but he hasn't returned yet)
Lehky-Ryjo-Rantanen

Oloffson and Kiviranta are wearing the NHL jerseys, so I threw them in. Of the AHL level guys, they either haven't shown up or they aren't wearing the NHL jerseys. Foudy sounds like a no-go for the rookie faceoff.

Girard, Dermy, JJ, and Toews are the Dmen present. (and EJ is showing up every day)

Those would be the logical top two lines imo to start with. After that it's a case of see who falls where.

Historically, Bednar puts higher AAV contracts priority in the lineup. This season could be different with Drouin making almost the minimum but obviously playing with MacK. My interest lies with LOC: will he be a 3rd liner or stay with the good chemistry of Cogliano on line4?
