Capitals is my team, but what fun is it to be interested in the league if you don't have a decent idea of your opponents?

This is my outside look for the Maple Leafs line-up. Is it reasonable or do you - fans of the team - see other likely line combinations or pairings at defense? Who's got that special chemistry with another players etc.

In net, if Neuvirth stays healthy, he should win the back-up position IMO.

Blueline looks a bit thin with Dermott out. Read somewhere it may be a month into the season, is that accurate? So what would the third pairing look like? Marincin, Holl, Sandin and Schmaltz all fighting for playing time, I reckon.

Among forwards, what's the injury update for Hyman? Will there be a direct replacement for him (and trying to keep a potential third line of Mikheyev, Kerfoot and Kapanen intact from the start)? Or will one of these two wingers be promoted into top six?

I assumed Marner will actually sign, but I used only one year, just for the purpose of actually predicting the roster. Will he sign for anything less than 10 million though?

What will happen when Hyman is ready to go? This is a cap crunch situation, for sure.

Sticking my neck on the line, trying to predict a team of which there are so many supporters who knows a sh*tload... :-D
