GDT: Running Preseason GDT | Game 5 | WSH @ CBJ | 7 PM EST

I think it will eventually be KJ - Monahan - Marchenko on the top line, but understand why they might not want to put KJ in that role right away.

Is there any chance we see Brindley at C? He can do it.

Agreed. At some point this season we will definitely see that, and if Brindley keeps up his play we will eventually see him next to Fantilli at some point this year as well, probably just due to injuries. I think and hope that Brindley and Mateychuk will both end up with over 40 games for us this year and unlike some prior guys, they’ll both actually be ready for it.

LOL, why is this radio broadcast being so awkward?

I think this is the organization’s best 6 defenseman and should be the starting the year in Columbus. I like Christiansen and Mateychuk more than Provorov at this point, and Harris might be the better option also.

Werenski-Severson
Mateychuk-Gudbranson
Christiansen/Provorov-Harris

I don’t really like Monahan and Jenner together, or that were seemingly forcing Jenner to the wing. Let them center their own lines and we can have a decent “top 6”.

Voronkov-Jenner-Chinakhov

Fantilli/Johnson-Monahan-Marchenko/Johnson

Johnson-McKown-JVR/Brindley

Malatesta-Sillinger-Olivier/Gambrell

MATEYCHUK

Edit: 1-1

 

[Jaxs]

Mateychuk sniping!

 

[MoeBartoli]

DBB has made a couple of good offensive plays early this game. I think he’s a sleeper who could end up being a useful player.

 

[KJ Dangler]

Don’t see how you can say with a straight face you can earn your spot in camp, and turn around and send Mateychuk down . He’s 2nd best D man on our roster already

 

[NotWendell]

Does anyone find it curious there’s not a single sign of Bally Sports in the arena? And we haven’t announced our TV coverage yet.

Is that a good or bad thing

Does anyone find it curious there’s not a single sign of Vally Sports in the arena? And we haven’t announced our TV coverage yet.

Free over the air and streaming please.

I think it would be great to be on local TV in several Ohio markets.

I don’t know if he’s 2,3,4 but he’s somewhere there. I still think he may well start in Cleveland but he’ll be here by mid-year at worst if he does.

I don't recall being as excited for a defensemen prospect as I am with Mateychuk. Since Z I guess. This kids gonna be a star.
