Projected Sabres Opening Night Lines

John Vogl over at Sabres Edge has projected the opening night lines as such based on practice the last few nights.

Vanek/Roy/Stafford
Paille/Hecht/Pominville
Kotalik/Connolly/Afinogenov
Peters/Mair/Kaleta

Tallinder/Rivet
Lydman/Numminen
Spacek/Sekera

Looking at these lines the one that stands out is that third line of the pending UFA's. Because this is their contract years, they should overachieve this season and putting all of that determination on one line should be good for scoring. In terms of the defensive pairings, I have no opinion because there is no history. A few games in will tell the tale.
