Yes, and he played on the right for large chunks last year. But before the preseason someone (was it Pat or Cronin?) shared that we want him to play left side.
My big prediction for the season, is that strome and fabri have bounce back years, Vatrano is himself with 25 goals but better defensive play ( fabri 23 goals and a career year 75 games played as well)
That’s why using Zegras on the 2nd pp unit is wise imho. Let carlsson cook up the dishing on that first unit by himself. Let zegras do the same on the second unit
Yeah, I was thinking he'd be a better choice for the bumper with Mac at the front of the net.
Terry routinely drives the net. I just don’t think he’s got the frame to stand there and get hammered.
Yeah and he’s what, 27 now? This is what he is.
Excellent point. I guess I'm not sure then, unless we want to split up the talent a little bit. Put Terry on the LW half wall on the second unit and move a bigger body up to play net-front on unit one. If Regenda could actually make the team, I feel like he'd be perfect in that spot.
If you put Terry on the half wall, then you can’t put one of Carlsson/Zegras there, meaning they would either have to move to the bumper or the net front spot. IMO, I think Zegras/Carlsson on the left wall and Gauthier/Vatrano on the right wall is the best utilization of those players. Then you have 2 bumper spots and 2 net front spots for McT/Killorn/Strome/Terry/Fabbri.
If not Regenda, maybe with the added muscle this year, Terry might be able handle it. He has the hands to tip pucks in if he can deal with the physicality in front of the net. Rico wasn't the biggest player, but he was good in front of the net.
I dunno, those guys will pick someone.
