I believe the non-game group is scrimmaging, while the game group will just have a normal morning skate.

Nothing posted, but Ruff has heavily implied that the starters are likely to see another game.
They've stated that the "starters" will play in the two preseason games happening before the "pre-Europe" trip that starts Wednesday. There will only be one more preseason game for the "starters" to play in before the season starts in Prague. (And its against a German team).
So I doubt many of those listed above play on Monday.

On Saturday they had a scrimmage in the morning with the players who weren’t playing in the game. I assume it will be the same thing tomorrow.
Lindy is definitely old school. To each his own but just like Herbies, modern coaches don't do that drill anymore.
I'm guessing Ruff doesn't do a lot of small area games. (That worries me a wee bit....)
Totally accurate. Mitts can validate you on every point.
P.S. I've been told Mitts looks excellent in the Avs camp.

I wonder what they'll do when they have the 3 games in a row from the 26th to the 28th. I'm assuming they'll just break the team out into 2 squads. They'll have 1 squad travel to Germany for the exhibition game on the 27th. This will probably consist of the top players as that's what the NHL will prefer they send. We'll call this squad A. Squad B will play the stateside games on 26th and 28th.

They can only take 27 players on the European trip for the exhibition game against Red Bull Munich and the first two regular season games. That group reportedly leaves tomorrow.
It's going to be their expected 23 man roster to start the season plus the first 4 call ups from Rochester that make the trip.
Leone, Prospal, and Paestch will have their minor league guys here in NA. So, it is just going to be an early start to Amerks camp for a week. So, the games on the 26th and 28th will just be various versions of the minor league roster with maybe a few CHL guys mixed in. I also won't be surprised if that same mix of guys gets the game on the 24th unless the plan is to take the 27 guys going to Europe to play on the 24th and they are leaving for Munich from there. But, I would guess that we see the A squad tonight.
We shall see.

The secondary support on the fore check is something we haven't seen in quite a while.

I don’t see them breaking up any of the lines they want to start the season with.

And we are seeing the A squad again tonight before they hop the plane to Munich tomorrow.

No morning skate for the game group. Scrimmage for the others has been moved to 11 AM.

Combining this with what Zucker-McLoud-Greenway are going to bring is so damn enticing. That's probably 25 mins a game of hard cycling, and good two-way play. Zucker is really the only player of those 5 who is iffy defensively, and he's on a line with two damn fine defensive guys. Hopefully, McLoud gets a bit more physical around the net with Zucker and Greenway showing the way. If that doesn't get the top-6 buying in to a more physical, well-rounded game, then nothing will.
I've said this a lot this offseason, but we don't need our offensive guys hitting their career year totals to make the playoffs. We need them buying into the more nuanced and grittier parts of the game, which is why I was so glad Adams finally reshaped the bottom-6. Some posters looked at that as a minor improvement, but I think it can go a long way in getting these boys playing the right way.

Seems like they're giving Krebs all the rope he needs to show what he can (or cannot) do.
Wonder if he's just going to slide into Tuch's spot tonight? Or if Benson slides next to Tage and JJ and then Krebs takes Benson's spot with Cozens and Quinn? I can't imagine they breakup AKLM or Zucker/McLeod/Greenway.
Gilbert jumping in for Bryson makes a ton of sense, as does Levi in net. Gotta then think that UPL gets the preseason game in Munich (or splits with Reimer).

Tuch sitting out when JJ/Tage are not is weird... is he banged up? How irritated am I going to be to see Zucker on the first line?

Happy to finally see Gilbert. If I've ever seen him play a game, I didn't notice or pay attention to him.
When you're held together with duct tape, the coach gives you more rest than others.
Tuch is what he's always been, don't really need an extended look.

Didn't Krebs play with Kulich & Rousek?
It won't surprise me if he's the guy that plays with Thompson and Peterka. Or, do they go with something like this:
Peterka-Thompson-Quinn
Benson-Krebs-Cozens
Zucker-McLeod-Greenway
Malenstyn-Lafferty-NAK
SundherDome
Y'all have to much power
I was thinking they want to see Krebs at center, if so put Cozens on the Thompson/JJ line. Give Krebs a trigger man and someone to forecheck.

Tuch doesn't want to miss the beginning of the Bills game.
