GDT: 2024-2025 Training Camp

[Andy99]

Pool party better look this dangerous offensively in the RS…I’m just saying lol

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Two lovely goals

 

[Ulf5]

What a goal!

What a pass!

 

[Gurglesons]

It's baffling why he's getting a strong look there.

Not a Sid conspirator but Sid?

 

[Coastal Kev]

Puljujarvi is my guy!! But I'm not getting excited, I know Sully will be hellbent destroying him and Puus, playing plugs like Beauviller over them. ANGER

So this is probably the lineup, with Rust coming in for Beauvillier and Lizzote for Glass. If McGroarty was going down they would have put him in as the Rust fill in just to get him a look, but it's Beauvillier on the right for the first time all preseason. Puustinen is gone. Glass will stay for C/W flexibility if nothing else. If anything Beauvillier might be the last cut.

 

[WickedWrister]

Great possession shift from L3

 

[AuroraBorealis]

When you play opponents you're not scared of at all, it makes it easier to make plays. It's a shame they don't think like this more often.

 

[WickedWrister]

What the hell has gotten into Acciari?!?!

 

[Empoleon8771]

Damn Puljujarvi nearly got another one there, off the post. The line already looked good with Hayes at center but it looks even better with Eller as the center.

I also think Hayes has been pretty bad today, so I don't think it's going to take that long for me to want him out of the lineup if he's not playing with McGroarty and Puljujarvi.

The lineup when healthy should be:

O'Connor-Crosby-Rust
Bunting-Malkin-Rakell
McGroarty-Eller-Puljujarvi
Beauvillier-Lizotte-Acciari
Glass-Hayes

Feel free to swap around that L4 based on who's hot (so sub out Acciari/Beauvillier if they start playing poorly) but that top-9 should stay in place for a while, at least until Puljujarvi turns into a pumpkin again.

 

[Gurglesons]

lol Acciari

What the hell has gotten into Acciari?!?!

He was always a heart and soul guy with a knack for goals.

 

[The GM]

Acciari is a boss

 

[AuroraBorealis]

I'll give it to Acciari. He's making me eat crow this preseason.

Just say no to Beauvillier.

 

[WickedWrister]

St. Ivany cmon man

 

[Andy99]

What the hell has gotten into Acciari?!?!

He’s making me eat my words lol

 

[Empoleon8771]

St. Ivany with just a dreadful turnover there. Bad, bad, bad play.

 

[Gurglesons]

JSI trying to do too much.

 

[WickedWrister]

L3 is elite

Do they send down one of Glass or Beau to keep Brunicke up for a few games? Or maybe risk Aho? I can't remember what the season opening LTIR rules are but if they have to keep Karlsson out 10 games they won't do it. I could see them keeping 8D so Brunicke can play, but that would mean cutting a forward.

 

[Gurglesons]

lol Eller 4 point game?

 

[canadianguy77]

L3 is decent.

 

[Coastal Kev]

St. Ivany with just a dreadful turnover there. Bad, bad, bad play.

Eh... it happens.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Just need to play Daniil Tarasov regularly and we're all set.

 

[Empoleon8771]

L3 again, Eller this time.

Granted Tarasov is horrendous this game but you simply cannot touch that 3rd line.
