Speculation: 2024-25 Roster thread

[Arthuros]

Gauthier being 3rd in blocked shots among rookie forwards is interesting, especially because the two in front of him (Pyythia and Khusutdinov) aren't offensive contributors.

Not hating on Killorn, but I wish Cronin would swap him and Colangelo. Or Gauthier and Carlsson (Carlsson centering McTavish and Colangelo, Zegras centering Cutter and Killer)

"I like playing with (Killorn) because he's very smart," Zegras said. "He's very good at playing in between guys and knows when to give you the puck, give you space, where to go, where to help and support. Leo can kind of do it all. Great skating through the neutral zone, great hands. He's got a great shot, sees the ice very well. It's a good mix."

I actually don't mind it. Killorn and Cutter are our best defensive forwards. The top line will shield the youthful 3rd line, which has two rookies on it with Cutter and Colangelo. We may get lucky and this third line could be a thing. I know Cutter-Mac have chemistry. Colangelo and Cutter got instant friendship with their NHL experience last season. Let's see what happens with Colangelo on it.
