Burakovsky-Compher-Wilson
Nieto-Bellemare-Calvert
Kamenev-Nichushkin
Grubauer
Francouz
-To start the season
Girard/Zadorov LD on first two pairs
Makar RD on one of two first pairs
Connauton the other RD in the top4?
Byram probably gets 9-games try
Rosen & Graves could be in the lineup although Graves could be sent down to start the season (if not ready/is waivers exempt)
Barberio as 7th D
Alt, Lindholm, MacDonald, Meloche, Timmins could challenge
Cole/Johnson on IR
-If all D are healthy
Girard-Johnson
Zadorov-Makar
Connauton/Rosen/Graves-Cole
Barberio
AHL
Dries-Tynan-O'Connor
Condra-Bowers-Joly/Kaut
Greer--Megna-Henry
Lewis-Shvyryov-Wagner
Two of Barron, Dickinson, Lauzon, McGauley, Saigeon, Nantel stay as depth; others in the ECHL (first 2 on NHL contracts)
MacDonald-Alt
Renouf-Timmins
Lindholm-Meloche
Anderson (NHL)/Davis as extra
Larocque, Tischke, Williams in the ECHL
Miska
Werner
McDonald in the ECHL
Overall, good forward group, lots of depth on D and capable goaltending in the NHL.
In the A, top9 F is loaded; all 6 regulars D can play on top pairing I believe.
Idk that much about COL prospects/players, especially the new ones but tried my best with a realistic lineup. Also, if Werner is ready, it's good otherwise they could add another G for the AHL.
