Yes. Keith - Gustafsson Maatta - Seabrook de Haan - Koekkoek If Murphy plays, it's him and de Haan. As for forwards, it's still a bit unclear if it's Nylander or Caggiula on the top line with the 21 million dollar twins. Both got a look there in Berlin. Both also took turns playing on the fourth line... Shaw probably with Strome & DeMidget, but it's also possible Shaw gets #3C spot (Saad & Kubalik have been the wingers there) if Colliton doesn't trust Kampf after all and Dach isn't healthy. Then it opens up another top six slot... Perlini? Caggiula back on the Top line....WTF? That said, Nylander should get a heavy dose of nothing but PP time. Perlini should be checking out the Euro cuisine in the Press box.

Then it opens up another top six slot... Perlini? I think Colliton still believes Kampf is capable of being a 3rd line C (hes not). The Hawks have a real problem at 3C unless Dach is ready, (unlikely) or they put Shaw there. Colliton said he liked both Nylander and Caggiula on the 1st line, depending on the situation, and he plans on continuing to swap them out.

Bowman said Dach is unlikely to play. Source: Tracey Myers' twitter, can't be arsed to look it up.
If Kampf gets a shot at 3C it's
Nylander/Caggiula - Toews - Kane DeBrincat - Strome - Shaw Saad - Kampf - Kubalik Nylander/Caggiula - Carpenter - Perlini
If Smith is good to go, Perlini sits.

Maybe Sharp can come out of retirement to play #3C

Handzus might be somewhere in Prague. Call him and ask if he has plans for Friday night. Can't be worse than Kampf.

This team might be worse than last years. Theyve upgraded quite a bit on D and in net. If their top six matches last years output, they'll be better.

Murphy (undisclosed) may not play in Friday's season opener versus the Flyers, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.
The Blackhawks are currently in Europe as part of the NHL Global Series, but Murphy hasn't skated yet on the trip. They'll kick off the regular season with a game against the Flyers in the Czech Republic, and Murphy's not a lock to be in the lineup. It's not clear exactly what's bothering him. If he can't go, he'll have an extended rest ahead of the Blackhawks' next contest Oct. 10 versus the Sharks

Is DeHaan healthy? I thought he wouldn't be ready for game 1?
Neither Nylander or Caggiula belong in the top 6...let alone getting top line duty...this is a bad joke.
