Wild-Prediction!!!!

Michael Russo and Jim Souhan  of the Minnesota Star Tribune give you thier mock starting line-ups for opening day of the season:

Russo:

#1 - LW Cammalleri  C Marleau   RW Perron

                 D  Weber            D Franson

#2 - LW Pouliot           C Legwand RW Selanne

                 D Beauchemin   D Meszaros

#3 - LW Carter            C Jokinen   RW Frolik

                 D Hannan            D Fraser

#4 - LW Boulton          C Fiddler    RW Bergenheim

       #7 Defence Vandermeer and Wade MacLeod looking to crack the 4th line

Starting G: Crawford     Backup G: Elliott

Elliott looking to make the case to be a starter in this league and good play will earn him #1 on a different team..look for GM Mckenzie to use him as bait at the Deadline

Souhan:

#1 - LW Pouliot  C Marleau       RW Perron

                 D  Weber            D Franson

#2 - LW Jokinen C Cammalleri RW Selanne

                 D Beauchemin   D Meszaros

#3 - LW Carter    C Legwand      RW Bergenheim

                 D Hannan            D Fraser

#4 - LW Boulton  C Fiddler          RW Frolik

I Really think Mckenzie needs to aquire a 1st Line LW or this could be a problem for them as they have no primary scorer on the Left Wing.  We will see what he does before or on draft day. Rumor has it if he cant move up in the draft he will use his 1st rounder as part of a package to aquire a 1st Line LW. It will be interesting to see what he does in the weeks following up to and including in the draft.
