well, it certainly is an improved lineup from last year. We will see how tc shapes up
never mind. I agree it's slightly improved.

So with today's developments, here's the update lineup for me:
Cammy - Zajac - Palmieri
Elias - Henrique - Tlusty
Matteau - Josefson - Stepniak
Ruutu - O'Brian - Tootoo
Don't see any of Zacha, Blandisi, Coleman, etc in this lineup unless there are injuries. Maybe Coleman as a 4th liner.
Old, but interesting nonetheless. Never saw this before.
As for Shero being active, Id like a trade as long as it doesnt involve Larsson.
You're assuming that Stempniak and O'Brien are automatically locks to make the Newark roster. O'Brien is on a two way deal for a reason and I wouldnt pencil him in to anything. We also have at least 1 offensive scratch to account for as its unclear yet if we're going to carry 7 or 8 defenders. Kennedy is also here on a PTO. Id wager its more likely that only one of those two (Stempniak/Kennedy) make the team and Gionta is still here as well. Blandisi and Coleman are almost surely not going to make it. They're longer shots than Zacha or Q.
Don't rule Zacha out making the team. I'm not advocating for it unless his play shows otherwise, but no one should be surprised if he does. I think its 50/50 for Zacha and longer odds for any other kid.

Glad I'm not the only one that forgot Kalinin exists.
I like Kennedy on a tryout. Wouldn't mind him on our 4th line.
Kuja as legit skill (which is why people putting him in a bottom 6 role is odd. He is a skill player, not a grinder). He just needs to put it all together consistently.
He started to show signs of that after he was traded. Hopefully he has an excellent season in Albany.

Stemp and Kennedy are both Shero guys, correct? By this I mean they were under him in Pitt.
I don't know if I'm going to be able to deal with these high numbers on players
don't worry, it's not bad (yet). I wonder if stemp getting 20 means anything though. i still see as kennedy having 48 (below bouch and freakin pelley) means he's def a pto though. gelly is the only one to screw with the numbers so far

My dream is to trade for a young top 6 guy and sign Boedker next summer. Have to think we'd be willing to break the bank for him.
Piss, I really wanted Zacha to take #9.
