What's the verdict on Tyler Johnson? Do folks want to keep him or go with someone else?
Johnson seems to have a little more reliable versatility than any of the youngsters so I wouldn't be surprised if they keep him. He's also the kind of guy who you could plug in if Marchand or somebody like that needs a game off now and again for the various bumps and bruises you know he will get the way he plays.
I think they have Freddy penciled in as 3C and not second line wing.
The wildcard in all this is Jones since we haven't seen him play. I suspect he starts as 13th man but Jones, Johnson and Poitras might all rotate in and out of the line up initially.
Likely:
Zacha-Lindholm-Pasta
Marchand-Coyle-Geekie
Brazeau-Frederic- Poitras/Johnson
Jones-Kastelic-Beecher
D pairs idk. Monty seems to still be switching them around looking for chemistry. Might continue all year.
