[JackSlater]

I don't see why they needed to select seven defencemen already. It's also a surprisingly huge group of defencemen.

What do you mean by huge group?

 

[JackSlater]

What do you mean by huge group?

... that the defencemen are surprisingly large for 2018.

 

[Hagstrom]

Ya, weird. Edmundson, Ekblad, and Nurse are all 6' 4", Parayko is 6'6", Chabot and Pulock are 6'2"

 

[jj cale]

I'm definitely looking forward to Pittsburgh-Philadelphia and Toronto-Boston. The west looks boring and the time zones out there are not the easiest to tolerate.

Leafs-Bruins delivering so far, game seems to get a little better each minute.

Why do you put Beauvillier as the 13th forward? He already has good chemistry with Barzal and Eberle.

But didn't end all that exciting!!

Add him, brah

 

[PecnoTrunk]

Ya, weird. Edmundson, Ekblad, and Nurse are all 6' 4", Parayko is 6'6", Thomas and Pulock are 6'2"

Who's Thomas ? Nevermind, you meant chabot. My mistake

I wonder why they didn't take mathewson and huberdeau??

 

[Hagstrom]

Who's Thomas ? Nevermind, you meant chabot. My mistake

I wonder why they didn't take mathewson and huberdeau??

Oh oops, haha, my bad.

 

[Mehar]

Why Darcy Kuemper?!

I have the same thoughts. Hoping they can add someone better in the near future.

 

[Rob]

I’m guessing Allen and Talbot rejected invites.

I can’t believe they are taking two rookies on D in Chabot and Dunn. Must have had a lot of declines

 

[PG Canuck]

That defense looking weak.

 

[Bear12Good]

That defense looking weak.

Better then last year)

 

[Bear12Good]

I hope full roster will be looks like

Dubnyk, Elliott, Kumper


Hall McDavid MacKinnon
Schwartz Giroux Marner
Barzal O'Reilly Eberle
Schenn RNH Horvat
Pageau

Beauvillier

Ekblad-Parayko
Rielly-Chabot
Edmundson-Pulock
Nurse

Dunn

 

[1Gold Standard]

Arizona's backup? Good grief. tough times in the Maritimes.

anyway, hopefully we can land a legit A-lister D-man to round out the 8. the worst of the 7 currently named can take a seat. Rielly + Marner/Hall/MacKinnon plus s few of the Philly players. roll the dice and see how far we get.

[jaro]

but scheen schwartz and parayko are great adds !

 

[Bear12Good]

SCHENN always accept invite)

 

[JackSlater]

Better then last year)

No. Vlasic was better than any of the defencemen on this team, and Barrie and Morrissey would be top pairing on this team.
