That’s a really young D core. Also I’m expecting Pezzetta to score a drag curl bar down from the slot

Yeah that defence is young but with so much upside! And this is without Engstrom and Hutson!
Guhle-Reinbacher
Hutson-Engstrom
Xhekaj-Mailloux
Harris-Barron
Trudeau-Struble
Please Kent don't draft any defenceman in the 1st 2 rounds of this year draft and next.
Focus only on forwards for the next 2 drafts.
I guess from now on they will keep Gallagher with Monahan and Dach. Curious who is the 3rd player on the top line now, Pearson or Heineman?
DOn't sleep on Bogdan Konyushkov. Defenseman of the week in the KHL this past week. Playing 25-26 mins a night in the KHL.

Please no, Gallagher isn’t capable of making plays.
Can’t wait for tonight’s game.
That first pair might be a glimpse into the future. Really exciting pairings to watch and a few notable names up front.
They will face a real challenge whoever the top line is on the Devils side tonight.

100%. I really liked what I saw from Roy on that line. He complimented the other two very well. I am hoping they give it a shot in the pre-season games.

I am not sure about you folks, but I don't have a good feeling about this game.

I do Three bullets.
If the 2nd line opening night is Monahan -Dach - Gallagher I'm going to scream.

Kind of bizarre. Typically the better team is dressed at home.

I'm secretly hoping it's Xhekaj-Maiiloux too lol
I'm just so damn curious what they'd look like together

They will be our top pairing of the future for sure, but they won't be playing that much next season. No need to.
MSL in his press conference said he likes what he sees from the Newhook line and wants to see how they fare at the next level (games vs other teams).
And GUhle - Reinbacher he said two very similar guys. Wants to see how they do together.

Don't worry Gallagher will play a great game against AHL'ers tonight.
The Gally fans will be screaming and clapping that he's finally back after a few pre-season games just to fizzle out at the start of the season when it gets more competitive.

Easiest prediction of my life:
Farrell makes some great plays, nobody recognizes them because they don't end in the net and then people bash him even though he's playing with 2 guys who could not be worse suited for his style of game.

Im parlaying this prop bet in my mise-au-jeu card for tonight
I am a MTL and VAN fan... After last night I can't feel anything anymore...

Entirely possible.
In his short stint at the end of the season, there’s two things I thought he did very well.
1. He would always put pucks in 50/50 situations and give his team a chance to keep possession.
2. He was aware of where he needed to be on the ice that it’s offensively or defensively even though it wasn’t always successful.
This shows understanding of the game.
Let’s not forget that with time and experience he’ll learn how to play to his strengths and develop techniques to win battles and put himself in favorable positions. He’s still at that acclimation/adaptation phase.
Look at Caufield, he couldn’t win a board battle to save his life. Now he can get the upper hand in some battles because he was able to adapt.

He's too smart for me not to figure it all out.
He will go to the AHL to learn this because he will be afforded to do that, in years past he probably would be one of the few future options to play and have to try to figure it out on the 4th line and be benched by Therrien/Julien.
The difference for me will be, can he progress and grow enough to be a top 6 player or will he have to invent himself a bit more to be a 3rd liner because as we've seen internationally, he's defensively reliable on PK and defending leads. So he has the capacity to play more than an offensive role.
NHL players are coming back and AHL tweeners have the most to prove. Stephens has the ability to score goals at lower level and will be motivated to fight for his spot and Farrell strength is playmaking. It will all ddepend on the competition they ll face !
