Can Bolduc push for a significant 2nd line role? Where he's not sheltered and gets PP time, so around 15ish minutes.So what is your biggest question going into camp?
My question is how the defense is going to ultimately shake out? I think Leddy, Parayko, Faulk and Broberg are probably everyday locks with Suter, POJ, Kessel and Perunovich rotating in on the 3rd pair?
I think Suter will be the closest thing to a fixture but maybe the Blues give him one game off a week or so to help keep him fresh. A lot of Dallas fans said he was gassed by the end of last year.
Personally I am a fan of the traditional 3 LHD on the left and 3 RHD and was impressed by Kessel's play last year but maybe we see Perunovich slot in there with Suter who can help cover for his defensive mistakes. That gives us Perunovich to use as a PP option.
POJ really does seem like the odd man out here though. He is really going to have to compete hard for ice time this year.
Who is the PP QB? Is it one of the defensemen or do we run a unit where Thomas has more of the QB type duties?
For me those are the big ones for me.
