    Couple thoughts:

    1) Theodore needs to stay healthy this year. He was on his best ppg projection last year, where in a full 82 game season, he would be putting up ~73 points. But he only played 47 total games. As good as Pietrangelo used to be, he’s not as good as he used to be offensively. Theodore (and to a lesser extent, Hanifin) is the best offensively reliable defender this team has. He has to live up to that.

    2) I liked that Hanifin-Hague pairing at the end of last year. As much as others have hated Hague, I really haven’t minded him. He makes stupid ass mistakes every now and then, and they are so stupid they are easily noticeable. But I think that him and Hanifin could bounce off each well.

    3) Holtz. Please, for the love of God, score goals. This team *needs* a consistent goal scorer whose job is to put up goals and will put up goals consistently. SCORE GOALS.
