I do think Evans has that in him with NHL caliber wingers, but in general I agree. I have always felt that every regular forward on your roster should be good for 10G. I don't care how much you hit/forecheck/fight/etc., if you can't score 10G there is someone out there at league minimum who can do your job better than you.

?? He's paced for 8 goals and 20 assists over 82 games his whole career, with good defense and good forechecking. Is there another Evans I'm not aware of?

Demidov is a HAB
Pretty obvious that what we expected to be the team out of camp will be the team out of camp.

This lineup is pretty good. However, I would swap Yo-Elle and the Donkey. I liked the chemistry Roy and Armia had last season and I would ride them together to see if the momentum continues this season. They complemented each other very well.
Stroobs had the most hits in the Devils game and 2nd in hits (with a few others) against the Leafs. I'm not quite sure what you are expecting there...
Looks like day 1 if Guhle isn't ready.
Line shuffling will be inevitable. I feel like this is four lines that can score at times.
Looking at this, no wonder Dobes was tracking the puck so well, practice are just pure chaos.
Also, one day every players will understand that you can only block passing lane with your stick on the ice.

LOL that drill is hard on goaltenders. Great practice for when we get hemmed though.

It won't last, Hutson and Laine are going to move to PP1 before it hit game 5.

Net front presence ..he & Slaf are only two options
Second unit is probably better tbh, but I hate that we are spreading the wealth
It's what I expected.
If PP1 runs into suckatude there are two players on that left side who are susceptible.
One is a trigger man and the other is a QB.

I do Three bullets.
Very interesting
It was definitely a bit obvious you can't have Laine and Caufield on the ice together
Interesting they went Dach back on PP1 tho which I'm not opposed
Personally at this point I'd rather see Laine PP1 and Caufield PP2
It's PP2 and you need to stick someone in front of the net
The other 4 guys are PP players tho so definitely looking forward to seeing these units in action

The whole "rah rah" schtick as coach is going to get old when you keep making weird decision like not having Patrik Laine on a 1st unit PP. That’s without mentioning the fact you’re unable to admit that Matheson isn’t nearly as good as Hutson offensively.
