Could be a blessing in disguise. Let a couple youngsters get some ice time.

Isn't Brindy kind of opposite with the injuries? "Not so bad, day to day" turns into months and "out a while" they're back the next night it seems?

Svech-Koko-Necas has potential to be the most complained-about line in franchise history.

More than 1st line LaRose?

Maybe assuming that the game Saturday will be played and gives Freddie the fresh team and Kooch the slightly worn out one? Trust in Kooch?

Based on what we have right now I like the lineup a lot. I wouldn’t change anything until we’ve seen how it does for a bit.

My only change: flip Pyotr for Freddie in getting more starts.

3 of our 4 lines are going to be really fast and Jordon’s as I noted will be ball breakers (and Martinook is damn fast too).

Ah, probably just have preseason optimism and the year will be crap .

It’s balanced. Lemieux and Jost are lesser fits imo, I would choose Robinson over them for that role every day of the week. Adding Blake, Robinson and JR absolutely makes us a faster team this season, especially when you consider we’re subtracting TT, Fast and Noesen who are all somewhere between slow and acceptable whereas the new three are all pretty fast. I think the system makes a lot more sense with speed, and it can make up a bit for the lack of skill. Needing a couple of top six forwards has been a consistent thing but when it’s a slower group on top of that I think it’s hard to get too far. When you consider guys like Statsny, Stepan, Noesen etc… playing in the bottom six vs these guys I’d put money on us being able to notice the difference overall on team speed. KK and Staal apply the brakes to the group a bit but they’re both surrounded with quicker legs.

Carrier too, I don’t think of him as overly fast but I’d put him in the Martinook category of hustling to the point of making them seem quick at least.

A nasty storm!!

Estimated 50% of FL’s 24M population without power right now with counties by Amelie Center seeing 70% of their customer base down.

You have to think Sat’s game will have to be moved.

Edit: we lost power at 4AM and numerous roads in Collier County are closed due to flooding. Ugh.
