I like what you have here, it's reasonable.
I'm high on Veleno and Seider as well & I'm also very excited for the guys coming up right after them who are looking promising. Berggren, Raymond, Niederbach, Wallinder.
I think
@buffbry is a bit closer on what the lineup will look like for two reasons.
- Unfortunately any players we loaned to a SHL team such as Seider & Veleno are under contract for the entire season which ends in March (not including playoffs).
- Bertuzzi Larkin & Mantha have shown great chemistry and should probably stay together unless they can't get on the score sheet.
I could see Fabbri playing center to get more experience but I feel like they brought in Namestnikov to play 2c so we'll see what happens there.
Maybe I'm wrong but I think if Bobby Ryan is playing really well he might earn 2nd line minutes or if/when injuries come into play. I have high hopes for him.
It will be a strange season having to play the same 7 teams over and over but I'm still excited for it. Hopefully it's a good rebuild year for the Wings and prospects.
