Bedard reminds me of Denis Savard (funnily a Blackhawks great too) and even Marcel Dionne. All the talent in the world, but might’ve been ultimately more entertaining than he was truly effective.

Hey Ducks fans, as a Blazers fan... I'm curious to know what your guys expectation for Zellweger is? How has he been this preseason? NHL or AHL?

Almost certainly will start with the big club I’d say. I think he’s only played one preseason game which I didn’t watch but I was very impressed by him last year especially at the end. If he spends significant time in the NHL I could see him getting 30+ points easily.

Obviously everyone talks about his hockey sense and skating, both of which are great, but he is exceptionally skilled with the puck as well imo.

I hear you. I remember when Zellweger first joined the Kamloops Blazers, alongside Stankoven, he was the most exciting player I ever saw play for the Blazers with how well he skated and how skilled he was with the puck. Every time he was on the ice... you knew as he controlled the play. Definitely going to be rooting for Zellweger this season.

The rest of the pre-season games will be important as to who will claim to be backup goalie. Will it be Dansk or Clang? Our first two games will be a back-to-back games on Oct 12 at SJ and Oct 13 at Vegas. We aren't going to play Dostal in both games and run him down fast.

Better Hands thought lol
But probably around his sweet spot of where he could end up as an NHLer. Unless he has some hidden fourth gear, he's looking like a second line winger. Could be a really good one with multiple valuable elements in his game, but I haven't seen that something special that screams first liner.

Strome at center experiment has ended quickly! Yay! Hopefully, it's a permanent decision and only "break in case of emergency" when Strome is inserted at center again.

But this is just pre-season and the team is testing all kinds of possibilities.

This would imply a 2nd line of Fabbri-McTavish-Terry. I don’t hate the idea of it, I just hope Zegras gets enough ice time in that spot.
I mean. Does it? And Zegras goes where? They're not bumping Carlsson off the center position. It's just never going to happen.

I think the top 6 we saw in game 2 is where we land with

61-91-17
11-23-19
13-16-77

I don't see Zegras with Leo and Cutter but maybe I could be wrong about that. I guess they could try Zegras taking over as the centers for Stroke and Vatrano.
