The problem is, he's not actually silent. His hands are all over this team given hockey is his main passion. Football on the other hand was never his main sport. For that reason, he's happy to let the experts run the team.

I really hope that Thompson and Norris aren't on the same line from day one of camp. If it ends up that way fine, but try some different combinations first.

So UPL injured.. Greenway injured... Tuch has something, And this is on day one of camp. What's the over and under on number of days before Norris or Dahlin comes up with something also? It's frustrating.

Greenway on the ice today according to Fairburn.

That Greenway extension is looking to be the worst signing of the past 12 months at least.

Lindy very clear that Benson needs to produce more if he wants to be in the top 6. Also sounds like he will look hard at Norris with Tage but he did like what Kulich did there. Tage as a winger is definitely the starting point, with Tuch and Tage on different lines.

I think my worst nightmare is that the team starts 10-4 and Pegula hands Adams and company 3 year extensions and then everything regresses to the norm.🤢

I think, to me at least, it's clear this is a "we'll see" year. They're gonna run all this crap back and if it works cool, if not they'll can everyone and start over under Kekalainen.

Gonna be hard to lean on a guy who spends 40% of the season injured

Lindy made it absolutely crystal-clear that Norris is going to be leaned on as a 1C. Also called him the missing piece to a PP where they plan to put a 5-man unit together, keep it together and lean on it hard

Huh. How are they going to do the rotation, then? Tuch or Thompson has to give up an A for Samuelsson to have his A in home games? That's as silly as it was last year.

Status quo nonsense. This team refuses to face the facts and just wants to add 3 guys and run it back.

Is this another 'Terry is cheap' move? Saving themselves from having to pay a seamstress to remove the stitching holding Samuelsson's A on his sweater. (Realize it isn't, but it might as well be.)

That, and teams had figured out pretty quickly to clog things up, take away Tua's first read, and he's screwed.

Everyone I know is already there, it's too late.

I am surprised that Samuelsson will keep his A

I like this but I have a different lineup I like too Benson - Thompson - Tuch Zucker - Norris - Quinn Greenway - McLeod - Doan Krebs - Kulich - Danforth (Malenstyn)

By Thanksgiving, absolutely. For opening night, I'm going by the tried-and-true Ruffism of keeping all newcomers together on the same line. Greenway-Zucker gives Kulich the experience to play a solid checking game.

Agreed. Just going by the label on the chart. I can see Detroit and Buffalo swapping positions this season, and again after next season, depending on how UFAs play out. They're both in 1C purgatory. (Yes, Larkin looks good on Team Canada and he plays with speed. But... he's not striking fear into any championship contender in the playoffs.)

Lindy gives me a glimmer of hope.

No it wasn't. It was a row ahead of her. If it were at her feet, the man that ended up with the ball would not have been able to get it.

Yea ... no Detroits window isn't opening

Jordan Greenway needed another surgery... that sounds great.

Flip Doan with Greenway. Benson - Norris - Thompson Quinn - McLeod - Tuch Zucker - Kulich - Doan Danforth - Krebs - Greenway
