How has Goyette looked

Good. He has been noticeable, in a good way. Both yesterday and in training camp.

Preseason don't mean much, but they look horrible. If this is indicative, it's going to be a LONG season.

I'd give it about ten games into the regular season.
At that point we should have a better idea of what we have and where this season might go.

But yeah, it didn't look good.

They look very easy to push around and that has me a bit concerned. They are taking a lot of big hits. Could end up more indicative of the Flames future though.

That's the story of the Seattle Kraken so far in their existence.

It's not that surprising given the roster construction especially at forward where there's next to no one that can actually get to the middle of the ice or keep up with more physical style of hockey.

Though, Beniers supposedly has bulked up so maybe he can get in there some.

Probably AHL ?

I know his ex teammate Villy looked good yesterday.

Oh 100%. I expect Goyette and Firkus to both play in the AHL this season.

Thanks all for the cogent update. Of all the things people have mentioned, I think getting pushed around bothers me most. Have to see how that develops over the preseason.

Atleast we got Forslund.

And Eddie and JT
