That could be a very powerful, punishing line and hard to play against.

I didn't say they'd score a lot, I said they'd be hard to play against.

The opening night roster is already signed and here unless an injury occurs in camp.

Skinner TnT Tuch

JJP Cozens Mitts

VO Krebs Greenway

Z Jost KO

Dahlin Mule

Power Clifton

Johnson Jokiharju

(Stillman Lyubushkin)

Levi UPL

waived - Bryson, Clague and Comrie.

first callups - Rousek, Biro and Kulich

Lyubushkin becomes a starter if there is a camp injury on D, Rousek if a forward goes down and Comrie if a goalie gets hurt.

Benson and Savoie return to Jrs to get stronger.  R. Johnson and Kulich have great camps and are the last cuts.  

Just a general comment about your proposed lineup. It's a good lineup with a number of players with much more upside to draw from such as Power, JJP, Krebs, Samuelsson, Mitts (because he will be playing with better linemates) and Greenway (because he should be coming into camp healthy and better conditioned). And with the increase in the talent base there are a lot of interchangeable parts to work with when injuries happen. 

The Quinn injury is a frustrating setback. There was a consensus that he was most likely to be a breakout player in the young group.

Maybe not.  They are all capable of scoring more goals than they ever have.   I think Mitts should be on 2nd line with Cozens and JJP though.  Both will score more playing with Mitts than they would with VO or a rookie.

After reading this article, I’m thinking it may be time to move on from all of Bryson, Bush, Joki and Stillman.

I can see this being the opening night roster.
