Pekar isn't even on the amerks.com website roster.

True, but he got into 20 games because of injury and posted a .913. He was sliding out of position and flopping a bit too much, but as far as rookie potential he was looking like a future 1B type then.

The ice time is the Power Effect. Bryson was average 18 and 19 min/game almost every month until April last season. Power arrives, Bryson is down to 14:22 ATOI to wrap the season. And that's OK. Power is a top 4, Bryson is a #6. He can still provide meaningful minutes, skate in speedy matchups, and make smart decisions that allow Boushh to go play wrecking ball from time-to-time.

Eichel, Reinhart, Ullmark in 15-16?

Alright... if we get .972 sv% from Anderson in 25-30 games this season, we should be OK. He was excellent on many a turnover rush tonight.

Good start.

ABBA daggers!

ABBA for the dagger.

Definitely. But we must remember that Hagg looked very solid in the first week last season, too, then just faded away.

Asplund, Cozens, and Boushh good on the initial PK shift. Good kill overall.

Now let's get a pass set up to VO or Tager

Dahlin almost. This is a game-turning kill.

With Muel and Boushh in the box, it's Bryson and Dahlin on the PK. Nice clear.

Phew And 2 more

Boushh starts his rub-out a couple strides too late.

A full season of All-Star Dahlin will be a beautiful thing.

Was Krebs trying a no-look there? Without the puck.

Rasmus the Younger! Set it up, put it in.

He just missed on the Muel deflection.

Woooooooo! And... yeah, I'd still probably have him in Rochester and Hino in the lineup because I'm a fool. Prove me wrong, JJP!

It's fantastic compared to last season's home opener.

Not such a power play there. Krebs caps it off trying to force a pass through everyone. Motte is a very underrated UFA signing for them. He's a solid sparkplug guy.

Ottawa is doing very well getting the puck past our pinching defense and getting rushes.

Warming up and starting to skate.

Sanheim is also already being paid more on 2 x $4.675 that ends next summer. Sanheim has a better shot for sure (he's got 9,8,7 goals in full seasons), but just like Muel he doesn't project as a PP defenseman as he's got Provorov and DeAngelo in front of him. Sanheim (and Risto) both only averaged 0:40 of PP time last season. Sanheim is going to eat a lot of tough minutes though, the same as Muel. It makes the Muel deal look better, especially if he contributes anything offensively.
