Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Here's a potential Hawks lineup. I have no idea what's going to happen with guys like Entwistle, Katchouk, Blackwell or Reese Johnson. There are just too many forwards and I'd say all 4 of those are of similar caliber so let me know what you guys think will happen.

When it comes to the guys in the lineup, I think having Perry playing on the top line isn't a bad idea. He still has some skill, is good around the net and can give Bedard some room.

The second line can have either Athanasiou or Reichel playing center. I thought of putting Kurashev on the right wing but went with Raddysh who's a righthand shot.

I expect Guttman to be on the third line when he is fully healthy. Not sure if he is on the wing or in the middle but he deserves a chance on that line with how he played last year.

I chose to put Donato on the 4th line because of Perry being on the 1st. The alternative would be Raddysh or T. Johnson at RW1 (the other at RW3), Kurashev at RW2, Donato at LW3 and then Perry at RW4.

Let me know what you expect the Hawks lineup to look like on opening night
