Rinaldo vs Glass is very possible meeting.
If superheavyweights Shelley and MaCintyre got dressed up to the game so maybe they gonna go?
Carcillo vs Clifford(two middles/lightheavies possible meeting)
Rupp vs McQuaid/Thornton

In my opinion with the "shortened season" most teams will probably scratch their "enforcer" or those types will see limited time.
I hated seeing Prust and Dubinsky leave the Rangers but was happy to see they landed Nash and Asham. (not that Nash is a fighter but I would expect "protection" for him.)
I was also happy to see the Sabres add a little toughness to their lineup to counter the Bruins, Flyers and others.
Honestly...I was kind of looking forward to this year so this lockout has really fucked up what I thought could potentially be a fun and mildly entertaining season.
That said...
First fight of the season.
Look for the Bruins and the Rangers to both try to establish some toughness to kick off the year.
I am going to go out on a limb and predict
Horton/McQuaid vs. Bickel to kick things off.

Adams vs Hartnell, for the hair-pulling Adams did in last year's playoffs.

He is still injured. Out 3 weeks or month atleast. He can skate but the shoulder is not ready to play.

Scott Parker 27# is a Cop or he...
McQuaid is very important for own team.
One of the best or nor best defenseman there but Chara is the king.
Boston misses a McQuaid back in a hurry.

I'm going with the Stars and their locker room door as they have nobody big enough to open it now. Look for a delay in the game as they scream and cry to be let out.
