Thoughts on the last preseason game:
1) I loved the line combos with the forwards...seeing Holloway and Texier up on the top 2 lines was a good move and exactly what I thought both were capable of. I would start the year with this top 6.
2) Broberg is every bit of a #3 Dman already. Yes he's still raw but you can see he's starting to settle in and he and Faulk looked much better together tonight.
3) Props to Kasperi on his game tonight and looking better each game he was in. He played his way onto the team.
4) Completely fine with the 3rd pairing being Suter-Kessel the majority of the year. Suter looks better than i expected and clearly beat out Perunovich and Tucker. I do Like Joseph as a 6/7 over the others.
5) Walker is on this team.
6) I understand if Bolduc is sent down to start the season. Springfield has the potential to be a juggernaut this year. Remember Kyrou played half of his 21yr old season in the AHL as well.
To think this squad could have a 3rd line of Bolduc, Dvorsky and Snuggerud next year...or mixed throughout, is pretty crazy.
