I'm actually excited to see how long LDBB can hold down that first line, it'd be a huge boost to our center depth and flexibility if he can develop into another top 6 worthy center in the next few years.

Looking at the opening roster, the defense and goaltending would appear to be the calling card for this team. Not sure they have the fire power to outscore teams, but that may be coming with the Junior guys in the next year or two. Should be a solid year and if the D lives up to what I think they can, should be very dynamic, mobile and able to play all 3 zones.

I'm going to be watching for reports on Ceulemans. Still very young and if he can put the tools together, could be a very good one with his size and skating and Right shot. I have more interest in the D-corp, but looking forward to a solid growth year from LDBB and want to see McCue, Dumais and Malatesta

I think there is a lot to like, but they aren't going to wow you with get out of your seat skill.
