GDT: Preseason game 6: Sharks @ Vegas 7:00pm stream on sharks.nhl.com

I don’t really agree with that team building philosophy, though. I think our top 3 lines should be able to score.

Again, on a purely morale level, where Warsofsky preaches competition and drive and the desire to win, not putting Gushchin into the lineup after this game undercuts his entire messaging.

Give him a few games and see what he can do, if it’s not working, send him down.

We don't have enough good offensive players for our top 3 lines to be able to score, even with Gushchin in there. We're also not trying to build a contending team this season. Our main concern should be providing Celebrini and Smith the best possible opportunity to flourish.

Not having Gushchin on the opening night roster doesn't undercut anything. Everyone knows it's a business and these decisions are fundamentally determined by contracts and waiver status.

All the lawyer ads?

The precursor to needing a lawyer can very well be gambling or booze related.

Is it bad that 3 of our 6 D were ass?

I'm definitely worried that one of the bottom 3 is Ferraro. But Schuldt is AHL and Cagnoni are AHL bound. One because he isn't great (Schuldt) and the other because we knew he needs work on his defensive game (Cagnoni)

It's a good microcosm of where the defense is at this point in the rebuild.

I also think Thompson makes the team. He has to be better than one of the RD we have at carrying thr puck. Though he did have a rough 2nd?

I think Cagnoni should be the guy since he’d help the power play. If Thompson took Thrun’s spot, I wouldn’t be upset but Thompson should fill in anytime Ceci, Rutta, or Benning get injured which is guaranteed to happen.

Cagnoni is almost certainly going to get some AHL time

Is there a place somewhere on the Internet that explains how to read these cards?

Is he the next Kucherov?

Too early for the Gushchin vs Michkov threads?

Kucherov is the former Gushchin.
