Potential lines for B's.

Sturm-Savard-Ryder
Lucic-Bergeron-Kessel
Schaefer-Krejci-Kobasew
Axelsson-Sobotka/Yelle-Nokelainen/Thornton

Wheeler is a question mark as well as Sobotka.

I'm pretty sure the top 2 lines will be the way the are but the bottom 2 are very tricky to decide.

I'm very curious to see how Lucic develops. Is he as popular with Bee's fans as I think he is?

My goodness the Bs could use a pure-bred sniper. I just realized how dire this situation might be for them.

Great 2-way team though, they can grind you to death, but scoring may be a problem after all.

Lucic is a fan favorite from day 1. A pure sniper would be a nice addition but i think you will see a breakout year from Kessel/Lucic/Ryder/Krejci. PC wants to keep the core of this team intact and he for the most part has. I think chemistry will be a huge advantage this year. It definately is a grinding team, heres to hoping the return of Bergeron and Ryder improve the PP and Offense situation.

Oh yeah. Hat's off to PC for keeping the chemistry of locker room intact for the most part, minus a few additions. That's no easy feat to do but it's a commendable one for sure.

Plus, as you and I were chatting earlier Wham, I can't wait to see how Pumped the B's are to hit the ice after their admirable run with Montreal in post-season! I think they, as i've said before, will definitely be a force to be reckoned with this season, new schedule or not.
