Andy Pred 48 337 Report post Posted September 29, 2011 can anyone predict what our roster is gunna be for the Sens? with guys getting injured and suspension's coming we could have a very different opening day roster than we expected. Still a week away and with our luck we could lose another guy or 2 (sshhh)!! If we went today what would yours be? Howard Conklin Lids White Kronwall Ericsson Kindl Janik Exelby Franzen Zetterberg Filpulla Holmstrom Datsyuk Hudler Bertuzzi Helm Brunnstrom Eaves Abdelkader Miller Nyquist I would be tempted to thro Nyquist in and sit one of Miller/Holmstrom.

Crashnburnluder 385 Report post Posted September 29, 2011 I'm confused... What happened to Stuart? I know mursak is done until the new year, and cleary might not be ready to start, but what's Stuies deal... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has a groin pull. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rick zombo 3,739 Report post Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) Where is Commodore? Lower body. Out a week. I'd say one of Stuart or Commodore will play. I don't think Cleary will be ready though. Filpulla - Zetterberg - Franzen Holmstrom - Datsyuk - Hudler Bertuzzi - Abdlekader - Brunnstrom Miller - Helm - Eaves Nyquist Lidstrom Ericsson Kronwall White Kindl Commodore Exelby Howard Conklin [ Edited September 29, 2011 by rick zombo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hooon 1,089 Report post Posted September 29, 2011 If there's no Cleary or Stuart: Flip-Datsyuk-Hudler Franzen-Zetterberg-Holmstrom Bertuzzi-Helm-Brunnstrom Miller-Abby-Eaves Emmerton (I'd love Nyquist but not gonna happen) Lidstrom-White Kronwall-Ericsson Kindl-Janik Commodore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CaliWingsNut Report post Posted September 29, 2011 The latest from Khan makes it sound as though both Cleary and Stuart will be ready for the opener. 1 hooon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wings_fanatic 677 Report post Posted September 29, 2011 Guys, Pavs is the top line guy, not Hank. Here are the lines that I would like to see Babs start the season with. Brunnstrom- Datsyuk- Hudler Filpulla- Zetterberg- Franzen Cleary- Abdelkator- Bertuzzi Homer- Helm- Eaves/ Miller Lidstrom- White Kronners- Stu Kindl- Commie Howard Conks I think these lines would give the Wings a tremendous amount of depth, and the top 2 lines would be very good imo. Pavs is obvs the best player in the world, Fabian has been excellent at playing a 2 way game thus far, and has lots of offense potential, and Hudler always plays good with Pavs. The second line has been very good in pre-season, so I would like that line to stay together for the time being. The 3rd line was an awesome line in the playoffs for us, so might as well keep that going. With Defense, I think Lidstrom and White have been excellent together, and Kronners and Stu will gel eventually. I think this could be a great year for the Wings with this roster.

cr00d 26 Report post Posted September 29, 2011 For the record, Emmerton will be the 13th forward over Nyquist regardless of how well Nyquist plays this preseason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dallas27 7 Report post Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) Filppula - Datysuk - Brunnstrom Franzen - Zetterberg - Hudler Cleary - Helm - Bertuzzi Homer - Abs - Miller Lids - White Stu - Kronner Kindl - Commie Howard Conklin I'm not the biggest fan of flips at all but he's earned a shot at first line minutes after the pre-season. Also has the most dangerous third line in the NHL. Edited September 29, 2011 by dallas27 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hooon 1,089 Report post Posted September 29, 2011 If Cleary and Stuart are back I like something like this: Hudler-Datsyuk-Cleary Flip-Z-Mule Bert-Helm-Brunnstrom Homer-Abby-Eaves Lids-White Kronwall-Stuart Ericsson-Kindl Commodore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WorkingOvertime 536 Report post Posted September 29, 2011 Nyquist won't be in the press-box when he can be playing top minutes in the AHL. Commie will play, and if Stuart is healthy, Kindl will sit. Judging from last year, if one of Abby or Helm is centering the third line, it will be Abby. Also, I don't think Homer will start the game on the fourth line, but he will likely play fourth line minutes will Abby, Eaves, Helm, etc filling in for him throughout the game.
