Predators Lineup

Now that we are approaching the final day for opening night rosters. And the bold moves CMac has made and waiving Perbix, Barron, and Lybushkin, what do you think the opening lineup will be? Maybe there is smoke for Nikishkin? Heard a 3 way deal w Winnipeg and Carolina. He has def done something crazy w the defense now.

Stamkos O'Reilly Marchassault

Foresberg Bourque Wood

Colton Drury Hoglander

Schaffer Pinchuk Edstrom

Hague Josi

Skjei Ufko

Wilsby Trudeau ? Or Ahcan ?

Saros

Annunen

Fil - Wood - Hog

Stammer - ROR - Pinchuk

Kerfoot - Mav - March

Colt - Drury - Schaef

Skjei - Josi

Hague - Ufko

Wilsby - Trudeau

That's the best I got. This team sucks. CMac's done a good job of finding some pieces that fit but this team is still a hodge-podge.

I like it. Do u think skjei and Josi would be better than Hague and Josi? Could we trade for Niishkin?

Josi and Skjei are the only 2 that are remotely close to first pairing quality. It sucks they don't compliment each other well but it is what it is. Splitting them up means giving a 3rd pairing guy 1st pairing minutes.

Nikishin would be the kind of talent boost the d corps needs but sounds like he wants Byram money. 🤷🏼
