Obviously camp may still change a few things but with the roster mostly set, how does everyone expect the lines to shake out and how would you prefer them to shake out?

Some questions that immediately come to mind:

—-

- What is the initial forward group and how do the lines get changed by Bedard’s return mid-season?

- Who plays LW? Seems like at least one of the young guys that are mostly C or RW will have to move to the left side. Nazar, Kantserov, Lardis, etc. Frondell also a prime candidate as a historical LW but likely staying at C for now. Greene also exists.

- Does Kaner stick with Bedard or find a better fit with another young center like Frondell, Nazar, or Moore?

- Which youngsters may force their way onto the roster through camp? Spellacy, Boisvert, Vanacker, etc. come to mind as those trying to prove themselves.

- Which depth veterans secure their place on the team and which are on the outside? Mangiapane, Greenway, and technically Slaggert will all be hard pressed to get icetime if we assume Teuvo, Bert, Donato, and now Smith are lineup locks. Or are any of those four not locks?

- How do the d-pairings look?

- Can Commesso steal Söderblom’s backup role out of camp or does he still bide his time in Rockford, at least early on?
