Lines??

So assuming we don't make any more trades, which I still think we will, what are the lines going to look like next year? Keep in my though that this is Tom Renney we're talking about. A coach who doesn't believe much in keeping lines together. I'm still perplexed that he split the line of Jagr - Dubinsky - Avery. Either way this is what I would hope the lines would look like:

Naslund - Gomez - Zherdev
Dawes - Drury - Prucha
Callahan - Dubinsky - Sjostrom
Voros - Betts - Fritsche

Redden - Staal
Rozsival - Girardi
Mara - Kalinin


Lundqvist
Valliquette


Somewhere around there I suspect. As you can see our #1 line is complete, and our 3rd and 4th lines are definitely improved. However, the 2nd line is still struggling. Thats why I fully expect Sather to package some young guys and get a 2nd line winger. As mentioned on Hockey Rodent, because of the lack of salary cap room Prucha (who makes 1.6 million) would likely be among the players traded. If we get that winger I would feel very optimistic about heading into the season.

Update: I clearly forgot Rissmiller who played on the San Jose Sharks 3rd line last year for 79 games. So clearly he will be in the lineup. Also Orr is still around. Only time will tell.
