Ryan Wilson: Potential glimpse into future lines and pairs Potential glimpse into future lines and pairs

Wasn't Vinnie on Sid's line to start camp last year? Then they sent him to the AHL to start the year. I wouldn't read too much into any of this.

Same. It's not like they need camp to see how DOC looks on that line.

It might show who is starting off in the top 12 spots though, and to nobody's surprise, it's none of the young guys. Probably see a couple of the waiver guys stick around as depth. Guys like McGroarty and Ponomarev that don't need waivers there is probably no need to put on the team if they aren't playing. They need to make top 12, and in McGroarty's case I'd say top nine, to stick.

I agree. That being said, tweaking this a tad would make for an interesting lineup.

DOC-Crosby-Rust
Bunting-Malkin-Rakell
Beavillier-Eller-Glass
McGroatry-Ponomorev-Puljujarvi
Acciari

That would be a good starting point. The left wing can completely flex depending on how McMgroatry acclimates. If Glass and Puljujarvi look good, maybe you move Glass to C, Eller down, and Puljujarvi up. If anyone flounders you just plug Acciari right back into the fourth line.

Kevin Hayes can go eat nachos.

Lizotte is close to a lock to make the roster.

One of the interesting things about the roster construction this year is that many of their waivers guys they'd actually be happy to lose.
