Preseason is coming to an end and with the roster already trimmed I feel like I can make my predictions on the opening night lineup.
Starting with just the roster:
Forwards
10 MARIAN GABORIK
17 BRANDON DUBINSKY
42 ARTEM ANISIMOV
13 CAM ATKINSON
11 MATT CALVERT
18 RJ UMBERGER
71 NICK FOLIGNO
19 RYAN JOHANSEN
55 MARK LETESTU
14 BLAKE COMEAU
38 BOONE JENNER
5 JACK SKILLE
Defense
7 JACK JOHNSON
51 FEDOR TYUTIN
21 JAMES WISNIEWSKI
6 NIKITA NIKITIN
47 DALTON PROUT
27 RYAN MURRAY
Goalies
Reserves
TIM ERIXON
JARED BOLL
DEREK MACKENZIE
IR: NATHAN HORTON
Here are the lines I would like to see on the ice opening night:
Line 1 and Defense 1
38 17 10
7 51
Line 2 and Defense 2
13 42 11
21 27
Line 3 and Defense 3
71 19 18
6 47
Checking/Energy Line
5 55 14
When Horton returns I see him taking a spot on line 2 hoping for them not make the mistake of training him on the left side.
