My line combos - metro

i think kakko and kravstov are gonna be in the top 6 over chytil, who will be the 3c, with kreider and blais on the wings
then the 4th line will be goodrow - rooney - reaves

I dont think so. They didnt pay goodrow 3.5 million long term to be a 4th line winger. Also these lines are what i think they should do not what will necessarily happen. At the end of 19-20 when buch and shesty got in that car crash and they played chytil at RW1 i thought he played well. I also dont think either kakko or kravtsov are ready to play 1st line and idk that kravtsov should be playing top 6. These are the lines that make the most sense to me. Are they going to happen? Probably not.

I would 100% prefer to play Filip Chytil in the top 6 on wing, especially when he's proven and Kravtsov isn't, but it sounds like the staff still views him as a center. He'll probably end up the third center with Kreider and Goodrow across him, with Blais on the fourth line. I'm also penciling Kaapo Kakko on the first line simply because Artemi Panarin requested not to have him on the line for the better of them both.

My prediction is
Laffy - Zibby - Kakko
Panarin - Strome - Kravtsov
Kreider - Chytil - Goodrow
Blais - Rooney - Reaves

My preference is
Laffy - Zibby - Kakko
Panarin - Strome - Chytil
Kreider - Goodrow - Kravtsov
Blais - Barron - Rooney

Kreider will be in the top 6 with Zib and Laf.
Kakko with Strome and Panarin.
Kravstov on the 3rd with Chytil and Good.
4th line will be a revolving door of Gauts, Barron, Rooney, Blais and Reaves.
(My opinion)…

I did not hear that panarin requested to not play with kakko thats very interesting. In that case do what you did and switch chytil and kakko.
