If any young guy has the chance to make the team outright if he impresses, it might be Suzuki replacing either Jost or Robinson. Even if Gunler really impresses in training camp, he is still exempt from waivers. I kind of feel as if the Canes are leaning towards making Nadeau-FUS-Blake the first line in Chicago.
Last night's quality of opponent aside, the new guys provide optimism for the upcoming year.
Both Walker and Roskovic had great goals with superb shots (Roskovic in particular) and Carrier looks like he is the perfect fit on Staal's line.

I thought Carrier’s play where he scored the delayed reaction goal was great. Out of all the newcomers, to me, he was the standout. Loved the way he used his size to get to the net. He might be a fit with Aho and Jarvis at some point if he keeps that up.
But yeah, Walker fit right in too and Roslovic didn’t look out of place on the top line. Gostisbehere had some nice plays leading 2 goals in transition as well. They’re going to need those sort of easy goals this year. Seems like the team realizes this as well, as they skated the puck in a ton more than dumping it in it seemed to me.
On the downside…they were playing the Panther’s C level guys. The first PP unit didn’t really generate much of anything and the Kotkaniemi line looked out of sorts. All that is being nit picky for the 2nd preseason game tho.
