You guys think kostin gets called up this year if he plays well down in the A?


I think he will be the first call up. Kyrou had a better year, but will need time to get over the knee injury. But he needs to have his head on strait. If he lets the dispointment of being set down hold him back then someone else may get the call. But if he shows what he did in preseason, then I expect him to get a call up.

Lines I expect to see the playoff lines. But Sanford didn’t show much so I think you may see Blais in for him.

Schwartz, Schenn, Tarasenko
Perron, ROR, Sanford/Blais
Thomas, Bozak, Fabbri
Bash, slam, smash line.

Blais/Sanford, MAC Mac


Pie, Faulk
Jaybo, CP
Dunn, Gunner

I think he is still a ways from being called up to stay. But they may give him a stint during the season as a form of instruction and motivation for him, play a few games, then return. He definitely raised his stock in camp.

Kyrou is much more likely to displace someone for a permanent roster spot mid-season.

Hope that’s the case too. I like Fabbri more than Sanford

As I posted in another thread, I don't like that 3rd line at all. I would rather Blais be switched with Fabbri.
Agreed. Sammy is a banger and I think will prosper in that role. I don't know if he has what it takes to keep up with ROR and Perron from a play making standpoint. But, if he could, that would be all the more bonus for us!

I would really like to see Fabbri on a line with ROR. Robby could learn how to play defensively that way. Conversely, I think he provides more of an offensive spark than Blais. It's a scenario that could work both ways.

He’s gonna have to earn it.

And it’s not ROR’s responsibility to teach Fabbri how to play defense. Robby should be able to do that on his own by watching him, practicing, listening to coaches, etc.

I’m hoping Fabbri scores early and often. I’ve seen a lot of Blues fans all but say his career was over.


He could be a major wild card for this team. He appears to have gained his speed back.

I think Fabbri and Blais could switch up their positioning based on how each fills their role, offensive production, and possibly just depending on the opponent. They may still be trying to shelter Fabbri a bit to see how he gets out to start the season.

Opening night roster looks great and while I love Sammy's game right now don't if he has enough offensive talent to stay in a top 6 role, though I'd love to be wrong about that. Think Fabbs Bozie Thomas will be a good line and wouldn't be surprised if one of Fabbri or Thomas forces their way into a top 6 spot at some point. And like most of us here I'm really rooting for Fabbri to have some good offensive production this season.
