Alongside the 21 players essentially guaranteed to make the opening-night roster, four others forwards Matej Blümel and Oskar Bäck and defensemen Alexander Petrovic and Kyle Capobianco were awarded stalls in the main locker room.

Which Stars prospects could crack the opening night lineup, emerge from camp competition?

The Stars have some competition in camp at their depth positions, especially on the fourth forward line.

looks wrong

this is fake

Holy living f***. I'd somehow forgotten about Faksa being traded, I guess maybe because he was just given away.

Future Considerations could have a bright future,, U never know

It's especially bad with the Stars this year. None of the RHD have been any good in years or some of them well ever.

It's a funny tweet, but this is the best deployment possible IMO considering who Nill decided to sign.

Any pair with Miro on the ice will dominate, doubly so with Miro on the left.

Any pair with Harley on the ice will dominate.

And Esa-Nils will exist (and actually makes sense conceptually with a defensive stalwart + puckmover) and the sun will rise for another shift.

I think Lindell is the best babysitter on the roster.

Seems to be national writers clown on the Stars day

Yeah, Harley-Heiskanen can be the best pair in the league but who cares? It's always there for emergencies. The regular season is irrelevant. Distributing minutes more broadly and keeping the top players fresh for the playoffs is the only thing that matters. As we found out finishing first in the conference can actually get you the toughest possible draw.

The player that stood out most to me on Day 1 was Mavrik Bourque. The 22-year-old scored a nifty goal–high glove on 6-foot-6 Magnus Hellberg–during the scrimmage.

Bourque centered a line between Jamie Benn and Logan Stankoven, and they looked great together. Bourque scored, and Stankoven had a couple scoring chances off turnovers up the ice. They look like they will be a menace on the forecheck.

How much are the pairings even actually on the ice together ? When Miro was paired with Colin Miller most of the time Miller was at like 15 minutes while Miro played his usual 25. This isn't to handycap the best defenseman its to coverup the weaknesses of the worse ones. Miro and Harley can and will still be a thing. Since they signed Lyubushkin someone has to play 5on5 minutes with him even if you mostly use him on the PK.

 

[piqued]

And a lot of it is situational anyway, like those may be the pairings for the majority of the time but if you get a favorable matchup or offensive zone draw they may tactically go for the jugular with H-H together, or if the game is in doubt in the 3rd period

 

[serp]

I think Lindell is the best babysitter on the roster.

Just please don't pair him with Lyubushkin. It'll be just Esa-Jani 2.0 and that was not pretty. Like Esa can make sure the pairing won't sink but if you give him a guy with less offense than himself its going to a completely inept pairing offensively that has trouble getting out of its own zone.

Let's continue our Blues camp coverage

Blues Group B lines and pairs:
Saad-Buchnevich-Kapanen
Holloway-Faksa-Joseph

Bro is rethinking signing that offer sheet

 

[Starry Knight]

I'm not a huge fan of our RHDs, but they don't need to be top-tier with our LHDs.

• Dumba hasn't been good for 3-4 years, but he's not going to be asked to do a lot of heavy lifting when paired with Miro. He's handled top-pairing duties in the past, so the workload/expectations won't be foreign to him. If he can play within his limits and unleash the occasional one-timer, then good enough.
• Lyubushkin is Jani 2.0, but Jani 2.0 can be a good safety valve for Harley. Harley can handle most of the retrievals and transition while Lyubushkin just clogs the middle or whatever.
• Lundkvist should be a good partner with Esa. Esa should be able to cover most of Lundkvist's defensive issues while Lundkvist should hopefully be able to cover a little bit of Esa's transition deficiencies.

RD is probably the most important position to upgrade this season to push everyone down a peg or two, but this group should hopefully get the team to the trade deadline in a good spot.

Is someone gonna make a preseason GDT since we'll actually be able to watch for a change?

Edit:

My question has since been answered.

Doing Gardiner dirty, doesn't even get to ride on the same plane as Hemming/Bertucci back to Barrie

The font in that tweet is driving me nuts. Why are the letters different sizes?

Hopefully Remi gets more than 1 period of game action this preseason.

Let's be real here, the extra forward (if they even end up carrying one) will be either Back or Hyry. They're going to want someone who plays both wing and center.

Blumel would need a raft of injuries to get in the lineup. Lind is here to be an AHL ringer and get Cedar Park further in the playoffs.
