Description

Looks like the below are the initial preferred pairings based on who was teamed up together in camp. A bit surprised that Schultz-Johnson were together in camp.. At forward this could change quickly and bottom 6 may not be accurate since Brassard /Sheahan didn't scrimmage each day and forward groups were a bit more evened out in camp scrimmages (Sheahan/ZAR on 1 team and Cullen/Simon on another).

I suspect the fourth line will look different many nights.

I don't see them playing a 41 year old Cullen all season. Especially in a role blocking shots. They brought him in here for 1 reason and 1 reason only. To play the post season.
You will see Hayes or Grant on that 4th line most of the season. Cullen will get some games here and there to keep his legs fresh. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a, he plays home games and doesn't travel, kind of deal.

i see cullen playing about 50 nhl regular season games staying healthy and rested for playoffs. I would also bet that grant is his replacement all most all nights. hayes is useless. simon is a 13 forward at best. sully doesnt like sprongs two way game so unless he is amazing in camp he will get little time.

malkin rust sprong
brassard kessel hags
sheahan zar cullen grant
