This is why I think Jensen plays with Sanderson rather than Chabot because Sanderson is so much better defensively & likely will play on the PK which Jensen also plays. Zub has played with Chabot before & should complicate Chabot by being a stay at home defenceman which Chabot needs.

He might be playing with Kleven on the 3rd pair to mentor him into the league with Sanderson-JBD being 2nd pair.

I think it is going to be another long season.

Maybe, although so could Hamonic RD.
 
I would put him with Sanderson too. He thrived playing with Orlov, but struggled playing with whatever trash he was deployed with after Orlov signed in Carolina.

I suspect Hamonic will be demoted to 7th D at some point; it is unclear who will be brought in to be the 6th D.

I wonder if Gaudette will make the team as one of the 2 Fs we need. He has more NHL experience than our other options: Crookshank, Ostapchuk.

2 things I'm confident about.

1.jensen will never play on the third pairing

2.staios will bring in a third pairing vet righty to play with kleven and trade or waive jbd

I bet Hamonic & JBD share that spot 3rd RD spot, I imagine JBD will get more games given he was starting to play better last yr to end the season & he led the team in blocked shots which he needs to do to stay employed.

I imagine there will be some competition for that 4th line C spot. Given Gaudette also plays RW & it's a position of need in the org who could play either. They seem to like Halliday & he is a yr older than Ostapchuk who they also like, but it could come down to someone with a little more NHL experience like Gaudette or Jenik C who is also a tough guy like Katelic.

Oh, I don't know about that, especially when they have Hamonic RD with a contract for this yr & they have already said they are not buying anyone out. And given how highly Sanderson thinks of Hamonic as a mentor & how much he helped him, it's likely he will mentor Kleven & JBD. We'll see, but my guess is that the 3rd pairing Rd spot is shared between JBD & Hamonic.

Hamonic is a coach that will play if there are enough injuries. Let him be free.

Maybe. I don't think that's a good idea at all personally, but maybe. I'd like to see homonic riding the pine and mentoring kleven in practice etc while a different vet that can keep up plays the third pairing, but who know...

Jenik is 6'1" but only 185lbs. I am not sure if he is tough and can fight.

Then again Tie Domi was diminutive and a known fierce pugilist. :)

Good, I'm glad he's showing patience for a team that's on 7 years out of the playoffs and are coming off a 78 point season. We don't need f***ing patience. We need to strap this team to a rocket ship and clear the launch pad.

Impossible to do after what Dorion left.

I’m fairly confident without further additions or injuries we will see in game 1

Sanderson Zub
Chabot Jensen
Kleven Hamonic

Hamonic should not be playing hockey at all next year.

Of course he will, he has a contract for next season & Staois has sadi they are not buying him out. He's only a yr removed from having a 21 pt season & only played 48 games last yr which probably means he played with injuries throughout most of last yr. He'll most likely share that 3rd pairing RD spot with JBD & mentor both Kleven & JBD as he did with Sanderson.
