The lines are going to be a lot different this year I feel.

Agreed.

Unfortunately I think we're gonna see Bourque replace Tanev and he'll be on that line wasting time not scoring and wasting Copp's ability.
I hope not but I think that's what's gonna
happen, Maurice just isn't very creative and doesn't know how to coach an offensive team.

I could see Bourque on that line as well unfortunately...

This is how I think it'll go, eventually Connor gets signed but Laine I really don't know at this point and other GM'S are gonna have Chevy over a barrel if he tries to trade Laine so I'm not gonna even bother factoring in any kind of Laine trade return so this is what I think the lines are gonna be.

Connor-Scheifele-Wheeler
Ehlers-Little-Perreault
Bourque-Lowry-Copp
Appleton-Letestu-Roslovic

I really have no idea who the spares will be, probably that Russian and Vesalainen but Vesalainen should be with the Moose cause he's not ready for NHL hockey yet if he ever will be, I'm thinking he'll be a bust but I hope not.

I think the 1st line will be same old same old, good but a bit overrated really, the 2nd will be pretty decent actually but people will still **** about it, the 3rd line will get way too much ice time for not enough production and the 4th line will get 6-8 minutes a night and Roslovic and Appleton will be frustrated as **** playing with a guy who shouldn't be in the NHL anymore while Bourque gets 15 minutes a night.

Call me pessimistic if you want but I think that's how it's gonna shake out.. Lol
