Stolen from Fugu over at HFBoards:

According to Craig Custance at the Sporting News, Babs thinks he'll start Hossa with Dats. Some interesting combos though for the top 3 lines:

Hossa-Datsyuk-Homer
Hudler-Z-Franzen
Cleary-Filppula-Sammy

Interesting. I like it as long as they keep Zetts & Dats together on the PP. It could definitely help them to roll out two very nice offensive lines at even strength.

strange considering how much zets & dats have played together over the years culminatating in both their personal bests last year....only to break them up this next season?

I wonder how long these lines will last...I mean, perhaps 3-4 games of low scoring ineffective offense will be enough to through the tandem back together.

I own zetts and don't like my competitors with hossa/datsyuk benefiting over me.

Babcock has tried to split up Datsyuk and Z dozens of times since he's gotten to Detroit. This is the first year where he'll have the Wingers to be able to make it worthwhile.

interesting. but i doubt it sticks, dats/zetts are just too good together and i have my doubts of whether hossa could just slide right in

Babs is the coach but like almost everyone else has pointed out Dats & Z always end up back together.

I am really hoping that they can get a Hossa-Filppula-Franzen line to click.

Zett-Datsyuk-Homer
Hossa-Filppula-Franzen
Cleary-Hudler-Sammy/Leino

Think of the PP choices as well. The usual combos with Hossa added in on the 2nd unit, or even:

Hossa-Dats-Homer with Lidstrom & Z on the points.
Cleary/Hudler-Filppula-Franzen with Rafalski & Kronwall/Lebda on the points.

If Hossa clicks with the team, the line combo possibilites are incredible.

Babock tried last year to separate Dats and Zett, and let them played center. Didn't work, but I think it could work this year, because of Hossa, and will have two great scoring lines. (Maybe Babock want to copy Pittsbugh with Crosby and Malkin playing center of two lines?)
