Opening night lineup

Description
Sounds like Bergeron and Krejci are returning. But Boston needs to move salary, there’s hopefully a few options. Ideally I would like to move on from Foligno but it could be Smith. Hopefully Boston could package Foligno with a pick or prospects (Lauko). Nick’s father was a Sabre and they have some capspace available/ they are also without a 3rd rounder. Hopefully Buffalo would see the upside in this trade. Boston could use the Ltir and move other players to fit Bergeron and Krejci but I like this trade idea.

Boston needs a right hand side dman. Similar to the Haula for Zacha trade. I think a swap of Reilly for Bear makes sense for both side. There was a rumour that Bear wasn’t happy last season and this summer they added even more to the right side. Left side has a spot open and I think they could use Reilly. He’s good at moving the puck up to the forwards and slots well into their d-core.

Bear would have more opportunity in Boston with all of the injuries. He would also push Clifton for ice time when McAvoy returns.

Lineup: game 1
Hall-krejci-pastrnak
I know some might want to see Zacha on the left of Krejci but Hall has more upside points wise and he needs a quick start to the season.

DeBrusk-Bergeron- (open spot)
I think Jake should be rewarded for last season as he turned into one of their best players. He should get a chance on his preferred side with Bergeron. When Brad returns, then Jake can go to the right side. The Rw would be open for multiple players to earn in camp. I still believe Studnicka has upside/ nhl potential and I have him ahead of a few others. But I could see Lysell getting a look (9 games) or Steen, McLaughlin, Lettieri.

Zacha-coyle-smith
Zacha could get a chance higher in the line up but I see he’s best fit with Coyle to start. Hall and DeBrusk haven’t fit with Coyle so let Zacha have a shot. Plus he could take left side face offs. I like smith and could see him returning to Bergeron wing. But I think it’s best to create a balanced lineup.

Fourth line would be a mix of who’s playing well and the system of the new coach.

    i dont mind that swap. We will need to hold on until the arbitration buy out window opens so we can buy out Gardiner. Then we can make that swap.

    Canes might take that. I like that swap. We have too many RD's and not enough LD's and i think Reilly would fit well here.
