Based on Tippett's latest comments, I am expecting Kassian to play on the top line, and one of the bottom two lines to consist of Khaira, Sheahan, and Chiasson. Unless the Burdasov suprises us all, it seems Jurco and Nygard are competing for a spot on the second line, so Neal is probably playing on the right wing. Jurco and Nygard could also determine what happens with Granlund. Any of those three guys may wind up playing on the bottom six "speed" line. I expect Haas has the inside track, even if Cave has performed better so far. Archibald fits the profile far better than Gagner as well.
