I cant believe Miller might make the team. This year could be ridiculous.

I feel very excited but am also reminding myself we’re starting with 2 rookies who’ve never played an nhl game, 4 players in their sophomore year, and our average weighted team age is probably going to be around 22-23 by the end of the year.
the name of the game is going to be amazing plays, and really boneheaded defensive lapses.

Yes all this is true and it’s a really tough division. Should be fun.

Reminds me of the Leafs a few years back when their core was just starting to percolate, except we have veteran legit threats also and an airtight goalie who will be masking a lot of D deficiencies.
That and we have actual D prospects who are good.
Just listened to entire 6 min plus interview with K’Andre. Rarely am able to get thru an entire interview with most players but this kid looks confident and really focused. Said Trouba has been a big help for him guiding him along the way so far.

Robertson and Jones.
Remember Lindgren is already here and at the very least can hold down a top 6 role adequately if not better than that. He was really good post new years.

Are Robertson or Jones good enough to be NHLers? They seem more like outliers at this point rather than serious contenders to even sniff the lineup.
Lol huh?
Robertson had a very strong D+1 season and was a serious contender for making team Canada's WJC team before Corona did its thing and Jones is crushing it at UMass right now.
What would lead you to believe that they're outliers? They may not play here, but they're both going to play in this league.

Also this needs to be said, but David Quinn's roster decisions are kind of baffling.
He went super conservative to the point where hes probably holding the team back with his forward lines (to an extent, that 3rd line is crazy green) and PP units (this annoys me more than the lines), but hes also going to throw Key out there with Trouba and that is a pair that is going to soak some significant minutes.
At least he kept Howden out of the top 9 for now.

Howden is gonna be our number 1 center thursday eve. Maybe even thursday and Saturday. Would anyone be shocked if Mika is given some time off from game action?
No, but due to the circumstances I wouldn't kill Quinn for doing it.
... Even if Kreider and Buchnevich should be playing with Chytil.
DQ doesn't seem to interested in "handing" young top prospects like Kakko/Lafreniere pp1 time.
I love the offensive ability of that third line but definitely too green and am afraid they might not see much time if they give up some scoring chances. Would have preferred Lafreniere and Kreider switch spots but we shall see.

Yeah at that point Howden would have to slide in between Kreider and Buch. Really no other option I don't think.
Lindgren and Fox are our top pair (unless Miller exceeds all expectations). Ever since Lindgren has been given a chance he has taken and run with it. His chemistry with Fox is real too which helps.
Congrats and good luck to K'Andre Miller! Big fan of the kid and I think he's going to a good one for your team.
