Sven- Bo- Brock
Erikson- Sutter- Elias
Nikolay- Beagle- Adam
Roussel -Schaller- Virtanen
Extras: Granlund, Gance, Gagner, leipsic, Boucher, Dahlen, motte, Jasek
Top line has had success in the past playing together. Staying together to start 2018/19.
Erikson plays along side a play making centre in Pettersson, and Sutter on the 2nd line and Sutter can be insurance for Elias on defensive draws, and allow Elias to take some draws in the O zone.
The 3rd and 4th lines can look different with Virtanen and Gaudette switching spots.
In either arrangement the 3rd line gives you another balanced line with a high percentage face off specialist in Beagle and two speedy wingers with unique offensive abilities in Goldobin and Virtanen or Gaudette.
The fourth line is pretty solid too. Speedy and hard to play against with either Jake or Adam. They can chip in goals too and become a great energy line.
The extras bring value to the table too if injuries hit. To continue winning throughout the season we required depth and that’s what we have. We have bottom 6 forwards and top 6 forwards, who can step in and contribute. There might even be injuries during off season training or preseason which means this depth is just right.

@Rounoush Benning and company have said that if a young player comes in and earns their spots and knocks down the doors, management will make room for them. If that happens, it’ll force their hand. Players like Gags are pretty expendable. Granlund and Guance can be traded. Especially if they up their value in preseason games. And then there’s Boucher who has to be much much better and also Leipseic who hasn’t really got enough looks so it’s hard to know which leipseic he consistently is; same goes for Motte.
