I'm going to put a lot of faith in Heinola being the d man some think he will be and Lambert making this team out of camp. If this happens then that's progress for this team in terms of youth
Yup. Sounds like Perfetti will be getting a bigger role and Snerg will be in the top 4. I think if both have the years I expect them to in advanced positions then it will really help the group.
I also believe Ville can bring what Nate brought for us while being better on the PP. The big question for me is who do they pair with him on the bottom pairing.
As of now their looks to be one top 6 spot open for Lambert to win. Give both him and Cole reps at C throughout the year and see if one or both seize the opportunity.
