I think your lines are right on. Nice work. The rebuild continues...

I think our first call-ups in case of injury are Hicketts for defense and Svech for forwards but I think this is how we start the year.

Also, part of me hopes they put Zadina on Larkin's wing...We'll see.

Thanks i think Holland plans on Ras at LW i switched Ras and Vanek because Vanek has pretty much played his off hand during his entire career. Other then that it's pretty spot on i think. My dream sometime during the season is Zadina-Larkin-Mantha on the top line it might only take a handful of games before we see it come to fruition.

FWIW It'll be either Hicketts or Sulak on D and i agree Svech at forward. Svech had that neck injury last year that kind of derailed his season both in DET and GR hopefully he takes off this year. Still think he has tons of potential.

Zadina plays on the right side

You're right my mistake.

I agree with these lines however I am concerned with Ras 1. Getting 3rd line minutes and 2. Playing with inconsistent AA. I'm very excited to see Nielsen have a huge season with Zadina.

I think Ras getting 3rd line minutes will be very temporary, I've a feeling that Blash will have him top 6 in just a very few games.

This is correct. I think your lines are pretty spot on to what we will see. The Rasmussen - Athanasiou - Vanek line will have to really be sheltered. Not much defense on that line.

Agreed they'd definitely have to be sheltered
