i can't even guess the first line right now... still have no idea if it's going to be Burrows or Samuelsson. And trading Schneider will change everything up, since we'll be acquiring an impact player.

kind of easy same linup from last year basically just put kesler in sundins spot then samuelson rw i guess demitra lw raymond wellwood bernier hordichuk, johnson , rypien then edler, mitchell, salo, bieska in the top 4 d spots obrien and rome/nycholat for the 6th d

Well, fitting Samuelsson and Hodgson in is going to change all the line combos IMO.

Samuelsson played on the wing with the Sedins for Tre Kronor and I wouldn't be surprised at all to see him up on the first line.

So, then, where does Burrows go?

Add in Hodgson, and we might have another dilemma. Is he a second line player?

Dont really know if you can start seting up lines just yet but if things stayed basically the same as last years lines than you would just keep the first line, add Sammy in for Sundin on the second and put Hodgson in for Wellwood on the third (i dont think Wellwood wil be here next year). We probably wont have Pyatt back either and there is more than likely a trade in the works for a pucking moving dman or atleast another 5/6 guy. so based on what we have right now i think it would look like this.

Sedin.Sedin.Burrows
Demitra.Kess.Sammy
Raymond.Hodgson.Bernier
Hordichuk.Johnson.Rypen
Hansen.Grabner

Edler.Salo
Mitchell.Bieksa
OBrien.Rome
Nycholat

Luongo
Raycroft

i think f Burrows sticks on the top line that will decide where Sammy and Raymond end up. either could play with the second, Sammy could play on the first and that would probably be better for Hodgson as he could play with Burrows and Bernier.

^ Good lineup. I still think AV will juggle a lot, and Sammy will end up on the first line. We'll see a lot of looks IMO. And we may still pick up another forward now that we semi-know that Sundin isn't coming back.

On a rookie note, I'd like to see Schroeder give his college teammate Patrick White a kick in the ***.

We need the developing forwards to step up.
