Very excited. Although I am not sure if Rychel will get much playing time. I thought Chaput started off his 17 game stint with some fire last year and then faded a little bit. Pretty surprising that he just ended up with one point. Chaput has dominated the preseason - not much differently than Jenner did last season. But I think we could see them all hit the wall at the beginning of the season until they catch up to the speed of the game. I would expect some growing pains, and some flashes of brilliance.
Interesting that coach keeps going back to Hartnell-Anisimov-Dano. Last year it was Jenner-Dubinsky-Gaborik. Which lasted all of one period before Jenner got bumped to the fourth line. I think ultimately, the team will fall back on its veterans. I think that Calvert, in particular is poised to see a bigger role than we've seen him in to this point.
