Artist's Bluff, New Hampshire taken by me on September 30th.

You know it's close to hockey season when it looks like this outside. Too bad pre season drags so much.

About time. Now start preseason and training camp right after Sept long weekend, the season mid September and end the season no later than June 1.

84 game season also solves the uneven schedule within the division as you play 5 opponents 4 times and 2 opponents only 3. This would mean every team within your division you play 4 times.

Color me crazy but this is what I would have run earlier in camp just to see how a more balanced roster with younger faster legs looks and putting a player like Lavoie where he might be more effective than rotting on a 4th line. More balance and more effective bottom 6.

RNH McDavid Hyman
Lavoie Draisaitl Arvidsson
Skinner Henrique Perry
Janmark Philp Brown

I think KK fell into the same trap test driving way too many players who had zero chance to make this team resulting in not enough sea trials for legit camp hopefuls. Now we have 2 games for the preset summer lines to find chemistry so it’s too late to run the above.

I disagree...look at the Canucks team that was here Monday night, mostly AHLers and very few vets, and they only have 1 more pre-season game

Tochett is running a similar training camp and it didn't affect their start last year
