Pre-Game Talk: Countdown thread to 24-25 Season (T - 10 days) - Main Cam

[Justin11]

Have they made any cuts yet?

Not yet, but the writing is on the wall for the ones that will be cut.

I expect cuts tonight.

 

[Habby4Life]

Roy Totally absent this Camp!

Has not earned a spot this year.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Was last night's game worth a re-watch? I was driving. Just going off shot totals it looks like the Habs were outplayed most of the game

The 2 Leafs game have been boring as shit. Don't bother.

Should add Joshua Roy to the list sent to Laval. He has been massively underwhelming, looks totally disinterested.

T - 10 days

 

[waitin425]

okay....settled down a bit. Any word overnight on Laine. Hopefully it's a 4-6 week scenario. still worried it's the season. either way, I see it as an opportunity to keep Kapanen.

let's give the kid a chance.

Slaf - Suzuki - Caufield
Newhook - Dach - Roy
Kapanen - Dvorak - Anderson
Gally - Evans - Armia
Pezz

Roy obviously wasn't going to be an early cut but all summer we had some commentators here insist that Roy should be given a top6 spot and no other top6 player be acquired (eg. Zegras, McGroarty, Necas, or Laine) because it would get in the way of his development.

Apparently internal competition is bad and scoring depth is worse. Now with Laine potentially out injured, Roy has yet another chance to grab a spot in the top6...

Glad I didn't watch second game. We went out for evening

So this is your fault thrn

 

[Scintillating10]

So this is your fault thrn

I'm guilty

 

[Hannibal]

f***ing depressed to see that we will go with a second line of Roy-Dach-Newhook moving fowards… And our f***ing bottom 6 is even worse. No f***ing depth and soft as hell. We are so soft its incredible. Hughes did nothing to improve that. Stick tonthe old vets softest. Ride the contracts. Be f***ing creative you stupid sob.

Depressing.

Here comes another tank year.

 

[Justin11]

Molson should consider ordering bumper balls in time for the next game.

It's going to be Anderson/Dach/Newhook.

And we are probably going to see Heineman or Kapanen on the roster now.

Yeah,

If it's 4-6 weeks that'll be INSANE (in a hugely positive way).

Shit, 2-3 months would be amazing, too.

 

[Hannibal]

How about we target player who are not injury prone for once?

We drafted Reinbacher even if he failed miserably our combine interview. So bad, that they thought of not drafting him but decided to give him a second try lol. And he had already two bad knees. Already in braces.

Dach, Laine are all player with historic.

We need to stop shopping in thrift shop.

I'm not sure I get the Gignac and Condotta reasoning and I'm also not sure Kapanen is physically ready.
Love the tools but I'm worried he's just another small forward that teams will beat on as much as possible.

Teams were taking liberties with us last season and with only Arber as a policeman expect more of the same if we can't improve our PP.

They have to go through waivers, that's why there's still here.

It means that 2 of Heineman, Kapanen and Barré-Boulet made the team if they keep 14 forwards.
