Both Monahan and Drouin from the look of things will be good to go to the start the season. but assuming they won't, my bet Hoffman and Dadonov (moved to RW) will be put together with a defensively responsible C (Evans or Dvorak). Both played together and were linemates in FLA. Reuniting them could be good.
Caufield under Marty St-Louis played on his off-wing, so maybe start with Anderson with them? if that doesn't work, maybe Gally?
Would definitely try and have a veteran C to "shelter" Slafkovsky. Maybe Monahan when he gets in the lineup?
Also, Hughes already said that Byron won't be placed on LTIR.
Caufield - Suzuki - Anderson
Safkovsky - Dvorak - Gallagher
Pitlick - Dach - Armia
Hoffman - Evans - Dadonov
There's no "real" 4th line. just distribute the time evenly between the "3rd" and "4th" line.
With Drouin and Monahan in:
Caufield - Suzuki - Anderson
Slafkovsky - Monahan - Gallagher/Dach
Drouin - Dvorak - Dach/Gallagher
Hoffman - Evans - Dadonov
Pitlick - Armia scratched
