Is there a detailed explanation somewhere of what everything on this card means?

one thing I will give to Jarmo is props in signing Olivier way back when (seems like a long time ago now)
he brings it every night. pre season or not. he’s only gotten better and better at his role the longer his CBJ tenure has gone on.

Lots of purple,some turquoise and a bit of green
Of course this is preseason and things aren't ramped up yet but I do like some of the on ice things I'm seeing already. Some guys look a lot better on the ice physically and the guys are working hard, looks like we may have a forecheck this year. I know the overall standings probably won't be great this year but I still think it can and will be an overall positive season in many regards for the future
I thought good actually but imo I can still see his skating is going to cause some issues for him. He’s using his reach though. Had a play tonight behind the net where broke it up well. Not the first time he’s done it this preseason either which is good to see. Still taking some risky pinches but I haven’t seen any awful rushes the other way when he’s doing it. Had a nicely timed pinch in the 2nd where he got the puck and turned it into a 2 on 1 for us. Gotten a few shots to the net from the point. He and Matey had a nice passing play to Kuraly who just shot an absolute muffin. The nice thing about Mateychuk being with him is I think they have a lot of familiarity together so they were able to really build off one another. The stats Jeff Svoboda posted earlier are reflective of that. It’s not the final product of Jiricek but it was a good thing to see. Hopefully it serves as a starting block for him to improve consistently.

Know this is only preseason, but what I like so far is that the guys are skating with a purpose rather than just skating around as in recent years.
A two-man forecheck is infinitely more fun to watch than a one-man. A one-man is just playing pretend.

If you want a roster, look at the post right above yours (add Gudbranson and probably Jordan Harris). If you want lines, I am still not confident they are set.
I don't love the Jenner-Monahan-Marchenko top line that has been pushed during the pre-season. That line needs more playmaking so I prefer...
1) Kent Johnson - Monahan - Marchenko (KJ is the only guy with the skillset to complement Money and Marchy)
2) Fantilli centering two guys (I prefer JvR - Mo - Chinny)
3) Sillinger centering two guys (I prefer Boone - Silly - Vronk) Really I prefer Vronk in the middle...but whatever.
4) Pyyhtia - Kuraly - Olivier
My guess is Boone and JvR could swap so there are two guys who can take face-offs on the two middle lines.

Do you guys figure Maletesta needs another full season in the AHL?? Or will it be a season that he’s kinda back and forth all year

I’m sure he will get called up, but probably another year away from a full time bottom 6 role.
