Home teams are generally stronger roster wise than road teams in preseason.

YES! Either win the game or tarde them all and fire the rest.

f***ing Farrell on the fourth line.
Would have been way better to put Tuch there. At least Tuch has a future with us. Especially on a fourth line.
Adam Nicholas’s pet.

As I mentioned earlier. Full line-up with a few guys getting final auditions. Unless a guy or two do so well, they warrant another game, I expect tonight will be the last preseason game for Beck, Condotta, Farrell, Davidson, Reinbacher, and Mailloux.

Fair.
I didn't have much either but many around here did.
Too small and his skills aren't good enough to make up for it.

They were a good pair in Laval last year. Neither is having the greatest camp. But we know they're both good and a Mailloux/Xhekaj pairing could be something we see down the road.
Weird that I am one of those who doesn't think Mailloux has had a bad camp. I think he came to camp to show that his defensive game is improving. He will eventually figure out how to manage both sides of the game.
He can't make Farrell bigger or fasterYeah, that Nicholas obviously knows nothing about hockey

You're right. It's very possible he's focusing on playing a better defensive game because they know he can bring offense. I feel like Barron is also here to show his more defensive side this camp. And I think he's having a very good one.

I could see Mallioux and/or Reinbacher staying until Guhle is ready to return. Right now they would only have Savard and Barron to play the right side.

This might be the D corps by the end of the season.
Xhekaj's spot is in danger though. Struble has outplayed him. He needs to make a statement.
Farrell on the fourth line is a head scratcher. I think they're giving him his last opportunity to show something before making a decision.
Announcing cuts after tonight?

It would be huge if Barron figures things out this season and Mailloux can further refine his game in Laval. I still don't 100% feel he is ready. My other concern is Xhekaj, I am starting to think that he may not be part of the top 6 longterm.

Big night for Mailloux, Beck and Reinbacher.

It sounds like they are trying to make him a more complete player and... a better person.
Mailloux perhaps but Reinbacher isn't remotely close to deserving of being kept with the big team.

I don't think DR has a chance in hell sticking with the big team. He is very not ready. Laval for that lad and hope he comes back worthy of a 5th overall next season.
Like I have said a few times, both Jiricek and Nemec needed AHL time, Reinbacher is no different

Everyone talks about the legacy Weber left behind in the room. But we neglect to recognize the legacy Therrien left behind.
