It needs 3 guys and 3 regulars at that. We shouldn't be going in with Foote or Bastian pencilled in on a healthy lineup. That's asking for another year of a disaster bottom 6
There’s 2 open forward spots right now. One of Foote or Bastian will be in.
I do think our bottom 6 or middle 6 is gonna be pretty meh to start the season. We’ll have our big 4 still and a much improved D group and goaltending hopefully. And then hopefully a deadline forward addition.
Foote, Bastian, and MacDermid taking up 3 roster spots is such a waste though. Signing MacDermid was stupid. Wish you could combine Bastian and MacDermid somehow.
Wonder why a guy like Bastian doesn’t just decide and start training to be a fighter. Would probably get him more job security and money as a bruiser that can actually keep up and play on the 4th line. May not last much longer in the league as he currently is. Seattle already waived him pretty quickly and we saved him to reunite him with McLeod.
