besides the top line, not one Line or D Pairing is correct

I think you're overrating Compher, and I hope the Avs didn't just pay Calvert $2.8M/yr to be scratched... Here's what I think it'll look like:

Landeskog-MacK-Rantanen
Andrighetto-Jost-Kerfoot
Calvert-Kamenev-Compher
Nieto-Soderberg-Bourque

Zadorov-Johnson
Cole-Barrie
Girard-Nemeth

Scratches/Fringe Players:
D - Barberio, Meloche, Timmins, Lindholm
F - Wilson, Toninato, O'Connor, Greer

I'm not sure how the D pairings will actually go. I don't like dropping Girard to the 3rd pair, but I don't know if I would pair him with Barrie either.

yeah thats how I see the D pairings to start as well.

But I think lines 2 -4 will be a bit different

This is very similar to how I believe the lineup will look. Although I think they trust Soderberg too much to have in on the 4th line, I think he'll play 3C. And I could see Zadorov-Barrie Girard-Johnson as the top 4

The only thing I'd question here is Kamenev. He's a big wild card for me, because we only got to see him for ~2 minutes last season. That's the bigger reason why I had Kerfoot up on the 2nd line. Otherwise, I think this is another likely lineup. I have a feeling the 2-4 lines will get shuffled a lot, besides Nieto-Soderberg staying together.

Kam is the ultimate wildcard, have no idea where he will carve out his spot but I would like to see him on the Wing first. He could be 4C or 2W...who knows

I know that the Soderberg Nieto Calvert thing will happen one time, but I would like to see Berg with a little better winger, he isnt utilized enough with offensive players. Him and Kerfoot could be an interesting combo

I agree with all this. So maybe the best of these worlds would be to
1) Start Kamenev at 4C to see how he does (or 4W, with Compher/Wilson centering)
2) Start Calvert at 2W to give Kamenev time to develop, and maybe help Jost grow?
3) Keep Kerfoot on 3W to give an offensive upgrade over Comeau
