Bottom 6 clears ours for sure, the top 6 is more filled out compared to ours but if Atkinson can show any type of scoring touch then i would give us the nod

For me our top six is better than theirs even with the hole at 2 RW, thanks to the strength of Kuch, Point, Guenz and Hagel, and Cirelli > Compher. I don't know enough about their bottom 6 and need to see what Atkinson can do. If Sheary is in ours, probably have to give the nod to Detroit.

Damn thats gotta suck for Kaliyev

Who the hell cares about Detroit? Go Bolts

Borderline trolling tbh.

I'm figuring that the CHL guys will be released back to their teams in the next day or two. Gatineau and Drummondville's regular season has started (they play each other on Sunday, btw), and the OHL pre-season is finishing up.

It's happening guys. Sheary on the second line.

And Atkinson is already off. I don't expect Sheary to stay there for much longer. Geekie and Groshev on the fourth is hot though.

The Sheary opening night hatty is gonna hit like crack.

TB bringing all the players in camp to Orlando to see the arena would be kind of based, actually.

WTH lol

Does Groshev have a legitimate shot at making the team ? Or does the fact he is waiver exempt pretty much guarantees he starts in the A ?

I think Eyssimont is suppose to return mid-october which would be in line with start of season.

He has a legitimate shot. I feel pretty confident that he'll make his NHL debut sometime this season, even if it's as a call up later in the year.

Judging by who's been skating with the top group through the first week of camp it looks like this competition is mostly between Jesse Ylonen (111 NHL gp), Logan Brown (99 NHL gp), Gage Goncalves (2 NHL gp), Max Groshev, and Conor Geekie. Maybe we'll see a dark horse emerge through the preseason games?
