Right wings

There are only two sure things on the roster in Pavel Buchnevich and Kaapo Kakko. The key question is whether Vitali Kravtsov is NHL ready and the team wants to bring him back from the KHL and if Julien Gauthier can finally breakthrough and be more than a great AHL player. Lemieux will be battling for third line right wing minutes with Gauthier. If none of these options stand out, look for Kreider to move to the right side.

Sure things:
Pavel Buchnevich
Kaapo Kakko

Contenders:
Vitali Kravtsov
Brendan Lemieux
Julien Gauthier

Dark horse candidates:
Justin Richards
Austin Reuschhoff
Anthony Greco

Wild cards:
Artemi Panarin
Chris Kreider
