Description
F Core:
Duchene
Landeskog
MacKinnon
Soderberg
((Rantanen to become core hopefully))

D Core:
Johnson
Barrie
(( Bigras and Zadorov to become core hopefully))

Line 1:
Iginla is on the decline but cant avoid netting 20 goals and 45+ points playing next to Duchene and MacKinnon.

Line 2:
Landeskog and Soderberg play decently enough together and would be high end talent on the second line. Rantanen moves to third line in favour of a more experienced Colborne (who registered 45 points last season and is capable of producing when paired with more talented wingers).

Line 3:
Comeau is the rock on this line and plays well in this type of role. Grigorenko and Rantanen are total question marks but are less likely to have a major confidence set backs playing third line minutes. Grigorenko could turn into a top 6 forward or not. Rantanen is not experienced enough to play top 6 minutes.

Line 4:
Not to much surprise here. Career bottom pairing guys with good NHL experience.

Defence:
Totally up in the air, your guess is as good as mine

I see the lines differently

Grigo Mack Dutch - the 3 of them have worked well together in the past, and I think its the most dangerous top line the team can assemble this year.
Landy Soderberg Rantanen - This line will happen again as its the ideal Roy line to cycle down low, grinding out offensive zone time.
Comeau Colborne Iggy - Iggy needs to have less 5v5 minutes to be effective throughout the season, let him play on the ex Flames line as there is some familiarity with the 3 of them at times.
McLeod Mitchell Martinsen - 4th line will just do its thing as they have done all last season.

+1 Ive done 3 or 4 of these and previously had the line combos with Grigs on the first line LW and Rantanen on the 2nd line RW (similar to you).

Unfortunately I think Colborne MAY change the thought process of whether or not Rantanen is ready for 2nd line minutes or not (kid only has less than 10 NHL games worth of experience). I have no issue with him starting the season on the second line RW but lets say he gets overwhelmed (which is VERY possible), Colborne can swap spots with Rantanen easily.

As for Iggy, tough to say whats best with him. His game is declining and his price tag is high. Options are:
A) 1st line RW and hope that you get some of your moneys worth
B) 3rd line RW where he wont show as many flaws, but you will never truly get your moneys worth out of him at those limited minutes.
