I wouldn't split up Evang and Novak, who had great chem. I'm hoping to see:

Forsberg - Novak - Evangelista
Nyquist - ROR - Tomasino
Parssinen - Glass - Gurianov
Trenin - Sissons - Smith/Sherwood

I agree on the Novak/Evangelista point as well— and then mix them up if it doesn’t work. And I too would like to see Glass playing with some more offensive players like Gurianov and Parssinen as opposed to Trenin and Sissons (mainly just not Sissons).

Additionally, I thought Fabbro played some of his best hockey when paired with McDonagh last year when there were a bunch of injuries on the team. I’d try them together to start the season as well.

Interesting. Some questions:

1. Where will Nashville finish in the ranking?

2. What will most likely be the PP?

3. Who is likely to have a breakout year or who will surprise in terms of point production? Who is advantaged by the line combinations?

4. Who is likely to have a bad year in point production?

5. How many games each goalie is likely to play?

1. Probably 15th-21st
2. I’d say Josi, Forsberg, O’Reilly, Evangelista and either Tomasino or Novak
3. I think Evang is going to impress, I can see him putting up 50+ pts
4. Barrie due to less PP time
5. Saros: 50-60 games, Lankinen: 20-30 games
