Gonna give Vanek the C just for him to leave next year, what is he Zach Parise?

Just give it to Ehrhoff or run 3 A's until it's figured out.

And you're not keeping Zadorov are you? He doesn't even have a contract yet

It's not like it's a very hard name to spell/pronounce...like 5 letters. Rolston said he expects 3 or 4 1st rounders to be up with the NHL team, he might have had a shot.

It seems safe to say that he'll get his 9 game tryout then go back down to London.

Ott is not a center, Grigorenko will play center on the girgensons-grigorenko-larsson line and no way Leino is on the fourth line. Not bad though.

Who's 4th line then? Stafford?

Ott has always been a centre though. Does Ennis centre the 2nd line then?

Ott has never played center. Takes faceoffs occasionally, but he's always been a winger. I think it'll be

Vanek-Hodgson-Stafford
Ennis-Grigorenko-Leino
Ott-Larsson-foligno
Scott-Porter-Kaleta

Girgensons gets sent to Rochester

Ennis Hodgson Vanek Ennis hasnt played with those two to the best of my knowledge so far

Foligno Ott Stafford Ott is not going to center a line

Grigorenko Girgensons Larsson Larsson is a center Grigorenko hasn't been used as a winger

Leino Porter Kaleta Porter will be in the AHL Leino is a 2nd or 3rd liner

Scott Flynn


Ehrhoff Myers

Tallinder Pysyk

Weber McBain Cant see him making the opening night roster as a starter. Could be a 7th. Risto has the spot


- t_leafs21


To what we have seen so far my best guess for opening night is

Vanek-Hodgson-Stafford
Leino-Ennis-Ott
Foligno-Grigorenko-Girgensons
Scott-Larsson-Kaleta

The 4th and 3rd lines will change allot I wouldn't be surprised if Larsson is sent back down after 9 games and McCormick takes his spot. If I could have my way I would cut Scott. He literally has no place on this roster. Or any teams roster. Cody McCormick is alright but id like to just let Larsson move up full time if he is ready.

Vanek-Hodgson-Foligno
Ott-Grigo-Leino
Girgensons-Ennis-Stafford
Scott-Larsson-Kaleta

Porter floats in and out of 3rd/4th lines since Scott will be in selective games

Could switch Grigo and Ennis around pending on struggles

I broke my hand pretty badly, hopefully Armia's isn't that bad. Never been the same since!

So when someone wants to throw like Colton Orr, Parros, etc you want Marcus/Ott throwing or someone that can throw?
