There are almost endless potential variations in trying to predict the lines for next year.  I am starting with the forward lines.  The versions are not really ranked in terms of my guess as to probability; but does show how the lines would be dramatically altered with a few changes.  I am assuming that Rutherford/Maurice/Francis will keep the Jokinen/Cullen/Ruutu line intact.  Here goes:
