Added JV, Miller, Johansson
Removed Pomminville
That’s it. Basically the same team. Any improvement of the younger players will be offset by improvements in every other team’s younger players, so we are left to hope the coaches can perform miracles if we want to rise in the standings
We're really going into the regular season with Sobotka on the roster, aren't we...
So, Sobotka and mitts are on this team? Okposo is starting as the 2 RW? I was really hoping for no Eichel or Dahlin and a roster filled with everyone on the bubble. Instead, this looks like what could be the finished product, and it’s scary.

Just fans, but looking for opinions, seems a bit odd, don't ya think?Twitter Speculation from who?

LOL...we need something to talk about. This off-season has been depressing to say the least.Don't divide by zero this early in the morning.
Some Twitter speculation that something might be up with McCabe. Any thoughts?
The fact that Sobotkposo are still on the team means either that a) Krueger/Botts both are on the same page as Phil regarding them or b) the young guys didn't impress enough to displace them. Gah.
The practice lines had Sobotka at 4C because of Larsson's injury, so maybe he comes out when everybody is healthy.
It's still not clear who the starter is.Hello who is your starting goalie this season and how many games do you think he will get? Also how has he looked so far?
Thanks!!!!
Adding a solid defenseman and a solid middle 6 versatile player is huge- you act like doing more than that without losing something is easy, and it ain't. A few teams had better offseasons, but I'd say the number is rather low. Outside of overpaying a UFA with money we don't have, this is good. Vesey might help, Lazar might help, Olofsson looks ready to go. Adding at least 3 impact players (4 if you count Montour) and a lot of spare parts that might be minor upgrades helps flush out the lineup, and I still think we're moving Risto or someone else to improve our offense before the season hits the halfway mark.
You also say "coaching miracle"- bro, we just saw how much coaching can have an impact with the NYI. Not saying Krueger is Trotz, but it's not exactly a miracle- just going from the worst coach in the league to someone decently competent puts us in a much better position.
Girgs still not cracking the lineup
Hopefully Sheary and Larsson will then replace Okposo and Sobotka. I think Wilson is getting a look since he just came back from injury, so that's still ultimately Girgensons' spot to lose.I mean based on the top six it looks like Krueger has correctly identified the six best offensive forwards on the team so that’s a start
