I’m hoping that the coaches are able to form a dynamic and productive 3rd and 4th lines. I’m very hopeful given the quality of players they had to choose from.

Only thing missing is a competent 3C that can lead the bottom six *glares at Jeff Carter*.

Honest question, can you “release” a player so they won’t take up a roster spot but you still pay their salary and it still counts toward the cap? Or is that just a buyout I guess

I think this line up is considerably better then last year with the exception of goalkeeper I hope he can stay healthy.

So, given there’s only 12 forwards on the roster, probably fair to assume that Jake being a “game time decision” tomorrow means he’s going to play.

two things:
1. can twitter finally die? i refuse to sign in on principle
2. if dubas can move carter, that makes him gm of the year right? they may not win the cup, but *goddamn* that man can deal
bigsquib68
Man, I don’t recognize a lot of those names from last year

This man Jeff Carter is like the ex that doesn’t follow a restraining order.
Otherwise, I’m excited!

Hope we can find a way to get Josh Archibald back. He always put in a solid shift, and was never afraid to get in the mix if needed. Need more guys like that to help us be more physical.

Oh we’re definitely getting a 7 D game this week.
Wagner got sent down when?

Glad that Crosby kid made it, kids got heart
Man… I really thought Zohorna made the team…
Let’s go to work!
Did Crosby make the team?
