<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BruinsGM37</b></div><div>I think this Bruins team is a contender. Ya, we lose our arguably best forward, Best defenseman, and a mid d-man for at least the first 10 games. (The expectation is Grzelcyk is ready for late October early November, and Marchand and McAvoy till around thanksgiving.) I understand people’s thoughts on this, “for 20 games the Bruins aren’t going to float by.” But let’s go to last season, we struggled until new year and never stayed in a consistent playoff spot till we hit a burst to the trade deadline. Now I understand the B’s played less games than every other team but still, I think losing those 3 for about 20 games is as even as being 1-7 games played behind a playoff team. I think the Bruins will float by and hold close to a playoff spot till those 3 are back and healthy, but do mind you, when this team is healthy, they are a force to be recon with.

Foglino: Bounce back year, I think he will step up and do well in the absence of Marchand.
Zacha: HUGE help for our left side with Marchand gone. Could play 1st line minutes I think.
Hall: Krejci is back. He Pasta and Hall will dominate like they did in that short span of 2021
DeBrusk turned it up in the second half last year, I expect that to roll on.
Smith: Will be solid depth for the B’s
McLaughlin: Should have time to prove himself this year. He proved last year.
Krejci: Here comes a beast.
Bergeron: Wants to win and will lead us there.
Lindholm: Got hurt last year during his time in Boston, he will be a MASSIVE help when needed.
Carlo: He will likely step up when needed most
Clifton: Will step up like last year
Zboril: Healthy and ready to play
Swayman: Ended last year regular season rough, he is an ELITE GOALIE and this is his year. I mean 5th place Calder vote, Solid.

This team is solid no matter what you think, my projected lines are:

Hall-Bergeron-Pasta
Zacha-Krejci-DeBrusk
Frederic-Coyle-Smith
Foglino-McLaughlin-Nosek
Lindholm-Carlo
Forbort-Clifton
Reilly-Zboril
Ullmark I do think they will split starts
Swayman

When healthy they will be great. I know they are in a stacked conference, but I don’t think Toronto will be as strong as last year, Same as Florida allowing Boston to play right with them. I know Ottawa will get close and possibly in but I don’t think Detroit is there yet. Caps lose Backstrom but get Kumper. Jackets will contend. Pens will get close but I don’t know if they will do it.

My east playoff teams,

Carolina
New York Rangers
Tampa
Florida
Ottowa
Boston
Toronto
Columbus</div></div>

Theres no way they split up Pasta and Krejci.

The lines to start most likely look like this

Hall-Krejci-Pasta
Zacha-Bergy-Debrusk
Frederic-Coyle-Smith
Foligno-Nosek-Steen

I think the D you have is correct.
