Peter Chiarelli announced today that Peter Schaefer, Jeremy Reich, and Nate Thompson have been placed on waivers. The three should clear waivers and be able to play in Providence. Meanwhile Matt Hunwick was assigned to Providence.

So 23 are left. There could be a move before Thursday's opener, but it's unlikely. Here's what I think the lines will be based on the last few games and practices (the lines from the last few practices and games were provided by Fluto Shinzawa of the Boston Globe).

Axelsson-Savard-Ryder
Sturm-Bergeron-Kobasew
Wheeler-Krejci-Kessel
Lucic-Yelle-Sobotka

Chara-Wideman
Stuart-Ward
Ference-Alberts

Tim Thomas
Manny Fernandez (we might have the best goal-tending duo in the league)

Hnidy, Thornton, and Nokelainen are scratches.
