2017-2018 NHL Depth Charts

[Dean Ambrose]

Just something to keep track of team depth charts this summer and how things are shaking up -- will be updated weekly or so with any trades and signings that take place up to training camp. These aren't necessarily the lines teams will have heading into the season, just the way their depth charts are shaping up as the summer rolls along. Also something I'll be using for my point projections and standings projections later on. If you feel the need for any changes, let me know:

[matchesmalone]

Damn, that Carolina roster looks like a team that is going to surprise a lot of people, especially if Sebastian Aho takes the kind of step forward that I expect he will.

[Josh]

This is awesome! Thanks!

(I moved the Habs discussion into its own thread.)

[Dean Ambrose]

Updated with:

TOR - Hyman no longer RFA, re-signed
WSH - Grubauer no longer RFA, re-signed
ARZ - Etem signed
EDM - Jokinen signed
LAK - Shore no longer RFA, re-signed
LVK - Pulkkinen no longer RFA, re-signed

[Dean Ambrose]

Updated with:

ANA - Rasmussen signed

[Dean Ambrose]

Updated with:

TBL - Johnson re-signing
MIN - Mitchell re-signing
DAL - Faksa re-signing
WPG - Tanev re-signing
SJS - Tierney re-signing
EDM - Auvitu signed

[Dean Ambrose]

Loktionov (LAK) and Umberger (DAL) for tryouts to those teams in brackets.

[Dean Ambrose]

Updated with RFA re-signings.

[Dean Ambrose]

Updated again.

Spooner settles with BOS at 2.825m, btw, but with their current make up of their depth chart, I don't see him playing center this year if he stays in Boston and wouldn't be completely shocked if he's traded before training camp.

[Dean Ambrose]

Updated these... looking at some of the depth charts now before I head to the gym. Some random thoughts:

- Stafford is still out there and I think BOS may try to fit him in. I don't know if Spooner is on the team on opening night, could see him traded.

- That 3RW spot for BUF could be anyone's from Fasching, Pominville, Baptiste or Bailey, imo... outside shot of Nylander.

- Florida's wingers are bad and they should feel bad.

- I'm not sure how I feel about Tampa's wing situation after the top line and Namestnikov. It's not bad, but it's not so great either.

- I wonder if they anchor Hyman to Matthews again in TOR and shift Komarov to the 4th line and have JVR or Marleau on Bozak's wing. Also wonder what their defense looks like since Rosen and Borgman will definitely be knocking on the door for an NHL spot imo.

- I think Carolina makes the playoffs this year or is really, really close to it. That top-4 is incredible. We'll see how Darling does.

- New Jersey's forward and defense group leave a lot to be desired after the top-6 imo, but maybe we get some surprises from guys like Quenneville, Lappin, Blandisi, Wood, etc. The defense is bad, though.

- Not too sure what to make of the Islanders. I think they lose one of Prince or Quine on waivers, though. I can't see Barzal not starting the year in the NHL and having the 2C spot. Also wonder what they do with their defense, mostly Calvin de Haan. That 1 year deal takes him to UFA and this just after they gave Pelech a 4-year deal after only playing 50-some NHL games.

- Rangers improved their D and still have good F depth despite a few question marks at C after Zibby and Miller, who didn't play much C last year. I wonder what happens if Lundqvist's decline continues and Pavelec is... well... Pavelec this year.

- Flyers have a young D and their wings look okay if Weal and Lindblom live up to the hype and/or continue their play from last year when given a shot. I don't like their goaltending situation, though.

- Pittsburgh looks just as good as last year, imo, and have arguably the best coach in the league.

- Washington took a big step back imo.

- Blackhawks look more like a wild card team to me more than a top one nowadays. I don't see Sharp having the bounce back year and Kampf, Jurco, Hinostroza, Kero, Fortin and Bouma aren't top-six forwards.

- If Colorado doesn't re-sign Zadorov they'll somehow be worse than they were last year imo.

- Dallas is looking poised to win the division with that lineup imo.

- I wonder if Minnesota addresses their backup goaltending spot via waivers when training camp starts. Hutchinson, maybe?

- Anaheim shouldn't have a hard time locking up another division title if they keep all their defensemen this season.

- Arizona will improve but I still don't see them as a playoff team. At least not yet. Soon, though.

- Calgary's defense is really going to do good things for that goaltending and make them look better than they are, imo.

[Josh]

Great analyses man! I'll provide my own a bit closer to the start of the season.
