Bogey · July 7th, 2008, 06:10 PM

Note: These are not necessarily the expected lineups, but a best guess based on off-season signings, trades, and prospects.

UFA signings this past off-season in blue.
Players traded since the end of last season in red.
Rookies and prospects in green.
Unsigned in pink.
Injuries in brown (problem - expected return date).

I tried to place forwards in their appropriate positions as they are specified.
Some teams are loaded in one particular forward position so I moved them around to make it look like a lineup.

Defensemen were placed randomly as their defensive position is not specified as LD or RD.
Any help there would be appreciated.

Suggest any changes or additions, such as prospects that you think could make the team.
I'll update with those and with trades, signings, etc.

Since I'm in the process of updating this, I'm bumping so I don't lose it to the 2nd page.

I'd like to keep this post here indefinitely.
I consider it an nice resource to see who is currently playing where.

Shouldn't we just assume Tampa?

Stemmer · July 8th, 2008, 04:55 PM

Where's Brian Boyle,or Bobby Ryan or Ilya Nikulin. You are misssing quite a few players...

To keep it simple, I just took the information from nhl.com, which appears to be close to up-to-date.

I am taking suggestions for players to add.

Boyle, Ryan, Nikulin . . . I assume you are suggesting that they are sure things to make the rosters next year.

I think I'll add a place at the bottom of each team for players that are likely to make the team next season.

Nice

All teams represented now.
Just need to add prospects that are likely to make the team and make changes as they occur.

Crazy_Ivan · July 9th, 2008, 04:34 AM

Penner on the 3rd line, Edmonton spent that money wisely.

ranole · July 9th, 2008, 01:03 PM

I would move Richardson down to fourth line or more. Add Gauthier to the D and put Purcell either in prospects or second line.

acityonfilm · July 9th, 2008, 01:28 PM

You forgot Mikael Rozival for NYR. I also think it would be safe to assume Filatov is going to make the Blue Jackets roster.

Suggestions taken into consideration and adjustments made.

I initially thought Gauthier could be Manchester bound.
I'll put him among the top six for now.

Yeah, Rozsival.
I knew someone was missing.

For some reason, he wasn't on the Rangers' site.

I'll put Filatov as a prospect probable to make the team.

acityonfilm · July 9th, 2008, 01:35 PM

You missed Jeff Finger on Toronto, not that it's a hard thing to do. I would also move Afinengenov to at least the second line, if not the first.

Edit- scratch the finger comment, I'm blind apparently.

Cover one eye and read line 11 for me. Heh.

In creating this thing, if I found a depth chart on the teams' website, I copied it exactly.

Reason you see Penner on the 3rd line and Afinegenov on the 4th line.

I guess now that it's done I could adjust them to look more like actual possible lineups.
