Thread: Team depth charts at this time

You missed Jeff Finger on Toronto, not that it's a hard thing to do. I would also move Afinengenov to at least the second line, if not the first.

Edit- scratch the finger comment, I'm blind apparently.

Cover one eye and read line 11 for me. Heh.


In creating this thing, if I found a depth chart on the teams' website, I copied it exactly.

Reason you see Penner on the 3rd line and Afinegenov on the 4th line.

I guess now that it's done I could adjust them to look more like actual possible lineups.

I initially thought Gauthier could be Manchester bound.
I'll put him among the top six for now.

Gauthier probably will be in Manchester but because of our stellar veteran depth on defense I think he might just be on the opening roster until DL makes a move on defense.

There were some recent indications that Rolston would be used as a center, but Lou implied the same thing last season with Zubrus and that never quite meshed. If I had to guess right now:


New Jersey
Elias... ... Rolston. ... Gionta
Parise.. ... Zajac... Langenbrunner
Pandolfo ... Madden ... Zubrus
Rupp.... ... Holik. ... Clarkson

Oduya... Martin
White... Mottau
Greene. ... Salvador
Vishnevski... Brookbank

Personally would be surprised if Vishnevski is on the opening night roster as things stand right now. I figure there's a chance that Nicklas Bergfors makes the club out of camp. He made the opening night team last year, but injured his shoulder during the first game and never re-earned it after being sent to the AHL. Lou has said that he doesn't want Bergfors playing unless it's on a top 6 role.

So if he did make it, I'd downgrade Zubrus to "4th" line LW and move Langenbrunner down to the Madden-Pandolfo line. Gionta's name has been rumored to be dealt, presumably for a capable defenseman.

Wasn't a huge fan of the pairing, but White-Mottau played together for most of the year. Ditto Oduya-Martin and Vishnevski-Brookbank.

Gonna go by what the expert says.


New feature added: Players new to each team this year in blue.

Any chance of getting this stickied?

I plan on updating it through the off-season and season and will be bumping it to keep it on the 1st page to do so.

I LOL'd when I saw the number of forwards on the Lightning.

Question: is Boedker more appropriately a footnote as "likely" (because right now he's in blue and on the roster)? Or is there info out of Phoenix saying that he's 100% going to make the roster?

Crazy, isn't it?

Ah, I need a new color for rookies. Heh.

I mentioned in the OP that I took much of the info from nhl.com.

Specifically for Phoenix, if you look on their site (coyotes.nhl.com), they have a depth chart that shows him precisely in that spot.

Check it out.

I can modify easily enough and your input is appreciated.

Wow. Just saw this. Awesome.
