GDT: 2024-2025 Training Camp

One thing is for sure: there's a lot of possible line combos

 

[Gurglesons]

Glass hasn’t ever been good on faceoffs. I could see him taking some draws on the right side but for the most part I see him competing for a RW spot.

He's also slow and good on the forecheck and cycle.

Ideally he is playing with Bunting and Malkin tbh.

Yeah you could say this every year but it’ll probably take until Dec-Jan to really find out what the “best” line combos are.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Yeah you could say this every year but it’ll probably take until Dec-Jan to really find out what the “best” line combos are.

And we'll probably see them like 30% of the time.

 

[eXile3]

Glass and Puustinen are the same age. Glass is a former first round pick.
Glass has five inches on Puustinen.

Everyone should have to earn a spot, but if Glass gets the nod over someone like Puustinen, let's at least recognize the dude is still young and has some pedigree.

I have no issue if Glass makes the team over Puus. Young guys who actually give a shit and aren’t overpaid through UFA are how you should fill out a roster.

I do have issue with the fact someone like Acciari will probably make this roster over someone more deserving.

Sullivan will finally put the line combination together everyone has been screaming for due to injury, it produces quite well and helps even balance the roster a bit only to have it all rug-pulled when one guy on the line like... randomly turns over the puck in his own end once. But really because it wasn't Sullivan's idea to begin with so how could it actually be any good?

well the ultimate rug pull is the moment his favored option returns from injury. yeah, the line may be playing the best it has all year and actually be producing, but his favored guy from the completely dysfunctional version is back, so let’s not even ride it out until it cools off

never happen. he always goes back to what never worked because he knows so much more than any of us.

And we'll go back to watching the usual suspects play like shit for 15 game stretches, yet getting infinite leash.

So game action for the first round of cuts?

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Puustinen needs to go like 3 points per game in pre-season if he wants a lineup spot. Good luck to him.
Nice to see Brunicke and McG in the lineup. Those are the 2 prospects I care most about at this camp.
