I know the offseason isn't over and the final roster isn't ready yet, but what else is there to talk about.
Here is Tim Panaccio's thoughts on the lines and defensive pairings:
this is regular season:
Zherdev-Richards-Carter
Hartnell-Briere-Leino
Carcillo-Giroux-JVR
Shelley-Betts-Laperriere
(Powe) 13 forwards
Carle-Pronger
Meszaros-Timonen
O’Donnell-Coburn
(Walker, Bartulis) 8 defensemen
Leighton/Backlund 2 goalies
With Boucher still on a contract, I'm not sure if he'll be sent to the Phantoms. I like keeping Briere, Hartnell, and Leino together after how well they did in the playoffs. Interesting to see Carter on the wing. That should be a nasty first line.
Also, what happens if Pronger isn't ready to go for the start of the season with his knee rehab?
These are all players that were on the roster last year, except for the new additions. Who has the best shot at making the roster from the Phantoms?
