Blurred Lines

We have truly hit the dog days of the hockey offseason. With that being said I thought we would take a look at the potential line combos that the Isles might have on opening night. It is really hard to project where the kids will fit. I do believe that one of Brock Nelson and Ryan Strome will make the team. Also on the blue line I feel that one of Calvin De Haan and Matt Donovan will make the team. So after going through potential matchups here is what I came up with. This should at least give us something to yell about for a day or so. Enjoy
Forwards:
PMB – Tavares – Bailey
Okposo- Nielsen – Moulson
Grabner – Nelson – CLutterbuck
Martin – Cizikas – Mcdonald
Defense:
Hamonic – MacDonald
Hickey – Visnovsky
Donovan – Strait
Goalies:
Nabby
Poulin
Final Thoughts
I know many of you may raise some eyes at the top line but I really liked what I saw with Bailey playing next to JT. I think it’s worth giving this a shot and Bailey’s playmaking skills and ability to create some space for JT might work. I do believe that Strome will start the season in Bridgeport and will be up by Christmas. I think the biggest battle for a roster spot will be between Donovan and De Haan. I think Donovan is the favorite but all bets are off if De Haan is healthy. That’s all for today but feel to rip this apart.

Bailey belongs on the second line. Donovan before De Haan. is Brock Nelson ready
bring in Grabovski and our line-up just became deep, and have the kids come up mid-season.....
U got your wings messed up. Moulson plays lw. Bailey also plays better on left wing. I do however agree. Ko on off wing allows him to shot from better angleAnd your 100% right with Dehaan and Donovan. I think Reinhart could be dark horse in there too.
