Starting Line Up 2009-2010

So with the season fast approaching I thought it would be interesting to try and predict what the line up will be for the 2009-2010 season. I think that even with Mikael Samuelsson coming in to Vancouver, it is Alex Burrows job to lose playing with the Sedin Twins. But I also assume that Samuelsson can easily take Burrows job and Burrows and Kesler will be reunited, it all depends on what will happen in the pre-season training and games. So for now I am just going to assume that Burrows will hold his place.

Daniel Sedin Henrik Sedin Alex Burrows It could also look like this however
Daniel Sedin Henrik Sedin Mikael Samuelsson

The 2nd line will be either one of 2 options depending on who plays with the Sedin's on the first line. It will be either,

Pavol Demitra Ryan Kesler Mikael Samelsson or Pavol Demitra Ryan Kesler Alex Burrows

There is a bit of a discrepancy right now over what our 3rd line will be. We all know Cody Hodgson is looking to make it to the NHL and we have just signed Kyle Wellwood So we have 2 centers. I think that b4 the season starts we will be making a trade to open up room for Cody Hodgson. So this means that either Wellwood or Raymond won`t be a part of the starting team. Wellwood has proven he can play the wing so I think it will be Cody Hodgson center no matter what. The lines will be either...

Kyle Wellwood Cody Hodson Steve Bernier or Mason Raymond Cody Hodson Steve Bernier

I don`t see us trading Mason Raymond however because he is still young and very fast and has some potential so we would possibly use Kyle Wellwood in a trade for a 4th or 5th defenseman. But I can`t be to sure about that, we will see what happens.

The 4th line will most likely be Darcy Hordichuck Ryan Johnson Rick Rypien

This leaves Grabner out for at least another season with the Manitoba Moose and Janik Hansen as possiblaly a scratch or a trade possibility.

Our defensive Pairings will most likely be

Kevin Bieksa Willie Mitchell
Alexander Edler Sami Salo
Shane O'Brien Lawrence Nycholat

However I do not think that Lawrence Nycholat will be making out team because Gillis will either Sign or trade for another defenseman.

Our Goaltenders will Obviously be

Roberto Luongo
Andrew Raycroft

But I think that we will see Cory Schnider in goal alot more this season especially if Luongo has not signed a contract extenson yet.
