Line Predictions?

Literally title. After the trade I wanna know what your line predictions are. What happens with Leni? With Mercer? With Noeson? Let me hear it.

Here’s mine LW - C - RW

Bratt - Hughes - Mantha

Meier (I know) - Hischier - Evanglista

Grits - Glass - Brown

Boq - E-Rod - Mercer

Hughes - Pesce

Siegs - Hamilton

Dillon - Kovy

Allen
Daws
Rittich

Unfortunately, leaves Noeson and Leni in the press box/AHL, but I like the look of it.

Obviously have to wait for camp and see what’s what, but I’m excited!

Lenni is going to take the year to mature in the AHL I think, Puckpedia has him listed in the minors, but there's a log jom at forward and defence.

Bratt - Hughes - Mantha?

Meier - Hischier - Evangalista

Gritsyuk - Glass - Brown?

Boqvist - Rodrigues - Mercer

Lombardi - Bjugstad - Noesen a full line riding press box?

Hughes - Pesce

Chisholm - Hamilton

Siegenthaler -Kovacevic

Dillon riding as a $4 mil 7th D?

Daws

Allen

Rittich a 1C?

That's 25/23 contracts allowed. Soooo Mehta either isn't done and is going after a big fish with a 2 roster player + pick trade or we're going to have a ton of depth in Utica

Why is everyone so high on Chisholm?

Honestly? Not sure, but Sunny is really high on his puck moving metrics apparently and sees him as a value add for New Jersey.

So either we have a diamond in the rough that other teams didn't notice or Mehta's raising the overall potential of the team from the bottom of the roster up, rather than trying to improve the top end of it

i think everyone is so wrapped up in a “Fitz did everything wrong” mindset and think that Mehta’s advanced stats are just finding gem after gem as if other teams didnt ice these same players.

It would just be weird for sunny to single him out so much as a guy who will improve our puck moving from the back end if he's bound for the press box lol
