Ok this hurts.
Hopefully Newhook pulls a Dach and Monahan is healthy
Or not, and we tank.

Newhook's play will determine a lot. We need more offense.
Hopefully all or many of the young players can take a step: Caufield, Suzuki, Dach, Newhook, Slaf, RHP. Hopefully Monahan and Anderson can be healthy and their better selves. That's 8 of 9. Then hopefully Dvo can be the player that scored at a pace of 48 points per 82 games, as he did in his first year with us, to fill out the top 9. 3 of Pearson, Evans, Gallagher, Armia, Ylonen and Pez should be able to hold down the 4th line.
Hoffman, Drouin, and Dadonov gone are all addition by subtraction.

It's games like these that make me miss trigonometry!

Barron is so damn soft. A peewee player could win a puck battle against him if he really tried. He has a lot of other qualities but physical toughness definitely isnt one of them.

Don't see it.
Sharks and Flyers are two teams I'd say are clearly worse than us.
I wouldn't be shocked if Yotes and CBJ are worse just due to off ice issues AND lack of top talent.
And then I truly believe the Ducks will finish out the bottom 5.
And then I am going on a limb and predicting that Florida is going to be in the mix for a bottom 5, but that might be a stretch.

I
agree , but we have no spots to give to anyone. The injuries will tell where we are going this season.
The game doesn’t make a dent in evaluation nor decision making, why even dress a lineup that way. Best line might be a 2b line. In the best of events.
It’s a wasted game, I hate it.

I think they put a few regulars out there to not make it look completely terrible but they're definitely loading up for Saturday night hockey. This is true for both teams
Hopefully separating from our previous staff members in charge of phyiso will allow us to be more healthy than in years past.I

Either it's Caufield, Dach, Guhle, Slafkovsky, Xhekaj, Monahan or Matheson, every one of our most important pieces except Suzuki has been injured for a major chunk of the season last year.

But yeah, it really would have been nice to have kept Petry instead of giving him away to Detroit for nothing. He would have fit like a glove in the top 4. And if he played well, we could have gotten a good return for him.
Too bad some internet troll harrassed his wife and she wanted nothing to do with the city anymore.

Without those 2 habs creativity goes close to 0percent.
Just by looking at today's game we are so bad abd they are some veterans.
We barely won against ahl ottawa and Caufield and Suzuki both did good
We miss something in the line up that can win us games when Caufield and Suzuki are not producing. Been happening alot in the last 2 years.
