Barring any major additions before the start of the season with the limited cap space there is:
I can't imagine they would break up the 2nd line that worked so well in the playoffs but it's only the regular season. I know Rod liked Blake playing with the Aho line over the past few seasons.
Hertl plays with interchangeable parts on L3.
I don't think Howden is going to continue his goal scoring into the regular season.
PP1 is Eichel-Stone-Hertl-Marner-Theodore
I want to write off last season as a bad year but I'm not sure if it'll be a simple "yeah last year was a bad year but he should be better". I mean he should be better, but I don't think he'll be as good as his best seasons (he's 30/closer to 31at start of next season). The team at times during the year was spreading out their offense (Cirelli with Kuch) and Point away from Kucherov did not produce as much and he wasn’t great in the playoffs. As well, I think teams finally figured out Point's PP office and with Carlson replacing Raddysh on the PP, things may not change that much for Brayden.
Or if he bounces back, it's not to the level of the past few years.
I assumed it would be Matthews-JT-McKenna-Nylander-Raddysh? Or does Knies bump JT off?
McKenna being the distributor and AM, Willie, and Raddysh being the shooters.
Cuylle
Or Doro is on Miller's line but I would think he needs the skill of Zibby and Laf to perform similar to VGK.
I assume PP1 is Laf-JT-Zibby-Doro-Fox
Edit- forgot Cuylle.
I would say he needs to play more with Jack Hughes (and probably Bratt too). I know Connor Brown was hot with Hughes/Bratt at the end of last season but Gritsyuk is the future.
He should be closer to 17-18 minutes a night than 15.
Before Ovi's announcement, I had Leonard on the top line with Strome and Kyrou but with Ovi back, it's more muddied. Kyrou and Tuch may not have the same skillset as Leonard but TOI will be split up probably more.
I'm expecting PP1 to be Strome-Ovi-Kyrou-Wilson-Hutson (ignoring handedness).
In the top 10, top 30, somewhere in the middle, or near the bottom?
My wife pulled on the drawer door and it came off and she said that the screws push in when touched.
I think the failure was from either or both: too many clothes in the drawer and our young kids climbing on the bed by pushing down on the drawer front.
Do you think this is fixable - I have wood glue but not sure how usable the screw/wooden pegs are from the inside part of the drawer.
Advice appreciated.
Considering:
* The Stanleys - Lord and Sir William were choosy about which side to support.
* Earl of Northumberland - basically abandoned Richard III when asked to support.
Battle of Ortona and Battle for the Scheldt should be up there as well although they weren't as decisive in the grand scheme of things.
I guess there’s Dieppe but that was a bit of a disaster to put it mildly (although an educational one).
I was listening to a podcast today which said his KHL goaltending numbers are Vezina-level and the best case scenario is that he seamlessly transitions into a starting role like Sorokin did. But he is a super star goalie on one of the better state sponsored KHL teams and he may not want to come over to play second fiddle for a bit before getting his turn.
Considering:
At the end of Shakespeare's Henry V play, the ending states that Henry VI had lost France and made his England bleed.
I know someone who follows prospects as a hobby said earlier this season that "McTavish is a glorified 3C - he had a flashy tournament with the U18s, but he only plays well with good players and can't create himself".
I'm wondering if this season was a case of that, Leo and Cutter coming out big this year, having Granlund on the team, and being scratched all didn't help Mason have the same step up at all.
I thought I remember Don Cherry on Hockey Night in Canada once basically saying "come on kid, what's wrong with you, a couple of headaches? Just play!"
He was in the doghouse for much of the season, playing with players way below his skill level, had a hot streak at the end of the season then got scratched a few times in the playoffs.
He knows he needs to work on his skating (been told that at every level) and conditioning but also, he needs better linemates.
I don't know if I expect much better of a season with Tocchet in charge. He's still young but there's a lot of work to be done. He needs more playing time, you can't develop if you can't play.
