Wouldn't surprise me if Stenlund ends up replacing McBain on that line (and why I previously said he'll have a career year).
I agree. I also wouldn't hate McBain to move up to the 3rd line and Bjudstadt to play wing with Cooley.
Bjugstad-Cooley-Guenther
Crouse-McBain-Maccelli
Let's Bjudstadt slide to C depending on the situation

If I'm not mistaken, Vancouver fans said Cole was fine but over played, would have been better suited with 3rd line minutes. He can also play both sides. I'd be looking to add another top 4 LD and pushing Cole to the 3rd pair with Valimaki.
Sergachev is an offensive dman with passable defense. There may be some upside in his defensive game, but by no means should anyone expect him to shut down other players/teams with any level of regularity.

I suspect they’ll want Stenlund on a shut down line with wingers who are also solid defensively and can be matched up against top lines and take D Zone draws.
Hey!!!! Hop onboard man!!!

I really liked Kesselring at the start of the year , but he was frequently out of position as the year went on and almost always costed us a goal against.
It was usually breakdowns in the offensive zone with him causing odd man rushes .. sometimes a bad pinch at the blue line, but mostly he would go to the net ,or corner when we already had a D down low, leaving us exposed at the blue line..
If they can coach that out of him, he can be a treat to watch.

Don’t know if it means anything yet, but I’m assuming it’s correct. But on the official Utah website, they have Hayton listed as #27. Kesselring listed as #7, and Ingram listed as #38. Everyone else is the same. Stenlund is #82, Cole #28, Marino is #6, and Sergachev is #98.
Actually now that I think about it, O’Brien is #38, so the Ingram one is probably an error

I agree that there were times that Kesselring pinched when he probably shouldn't have, and yeah, let's hope they can work on him with that. But I don't think the stats agree that he cost us many goals against, or at least he didn't cost us as many as he helped us score.
The team was a cumulative -18 on the year. Kesselring was a +11 on the year. Furthermore, if you look at his game by game stats, he ran between +3/-3 most of the season until the last 20 where he was a +10.

I really hope Crouse can turn his game around. He looked disinterested so many games last year. Hopefully the crowd gets him going.

Him moving to SLC I May makes me think he may be excited about this move.
Awful list. The correct list is
1. Simashev
2. Iginla
3 But
4. Beaudoin
5. Doan

That makes you an anti-Doan turncoat.
You’re really going to hate my 6-10. Everyone is going to hate it.

I know its strange, but the other morning I woke up thinking that the ghost of Chayka persists and haunts this team. Remember he was all about “the NHL has changed” and that speed was more important than size and strength. No need to move guys out of the crease. No need to let the other team know that there will be retribution for taking liberties. Outscore em every night. Right.
This is NOT what the 3rd and 4th round of the NHL playoffs look like, not this year, not any year.
I like the UHC team, but toughness has to go up a notch or two, otherwise the Chayka haunt is unabated… maybe we make a 1st round. Maybe.

I actually have it:
Dimitri Simashev
Daniil But
Tij Iginla
Maveric Lamoureux
Josh Doan
Michael Hrabal
Cole Beaudoin
Artyom Duda
Mikko Matikka
Sam Lipkin
Jonathan Castagna is a personal favorite of mine. I think he can slot in around Duda and has more upside than either of Matikka and Lipkin.
I like Beaudoin as a prospect. I just think he has limited upside. 3rd line center is what I see his upside as. I’m probably in the minority on this. But there’s something about him and his trajectory that screams Barrett Hayton to me.
I actually agree with @rt this time.
I still believe Josh will end up playing center in the future!

My wife is finding me annoying tonight so she told me to hang out with you guys instead.
What should we do? Talk about who's gonna have a big year? My vote is for Guenther.

We should make stupid claims, print the post out, and tape it to our office door.
I still have some taped to my door from last season, but they're out of date.
1 - Maccelli is going to lead the team in goals
2 - Carcone will beat O'Brien in the final round of the Healthy Scratch Press Box Spicy Tuna Roll Eating Competition
3 - Schmaltz will commit every drop of blood and ounce of energy to getting this team in the playoffs - breaking a team record for goals scored with a face
Here's another one.
Hayton's play this year will make Jakey give praise to him ( this may be my most outlandish prediction yet).
A safer prediction: Keller will not get traded to Toronto
My "planted flags"
Hayton gets 20 goals
Guenther gets 30
We have a top 10 power play
Cooley has at minimum 63 points
