As close to the regular lineup as we've seen so far.

Will be interesting to see who gets the chance to center Pacioretty and Parenteau.

I dont think its about being anal. They already have 4 centres who are comfortable where they are. They got to make sure Galchenyuk is ready before moving one of the 4 out.
 
The theory is that Chucky is actually better at wing than the other 4 centers. The lineup is better with Chucky at wing as opposed to DD or Plekanec. They want Chucky top 6 so swapping with Eller is moot.

Can't know he is ready until move him to centre. Playing him on wing won't let them knoe if he is ready.

This. The organization wants Chucky at center it's obvious, and it will happen at some point this season and will remain that way. But right now with a full lineup, it's probably best for the team to have him on the wing.
 
So, we're probably looking at something like this:

Pacioretty - Galchenyuk - Parenteau
Sekac - Plekanec - Gallagher
Bournival - Eller - Thomas
Moen - Malhotra - Weise

Theory, schmeory. Just get rid of 51 for a bag of peanuts if that's all that's being offered.
