Expecting they want to see Sheary today w/ Vesey & Mittelstadt & then tomorrow Rodrigues ends up with those 2 & Sheary works with Skinner & Johansson. Is Cozens rotating in on a line or has he been sent back to Lethbridge? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brawndo Posted September 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 Krueger mentioned that the final preseason game was going to be used to evaluate depth and make final roster decisions in his post game presser yesterday. I will reserve rage until the line combos come out on Monday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph talked about making sure there was a defensive and an offensive presence on each line. He’s also checking out ERod as a 4th line centre. Like the post below suggests, he’s got a skeleton in place and he’s trying to see where the other pieces best fit. 15 minutes ago, sabresparaavida said: So...

Also not sure that Girgs and Larry or locks, but it’s either that, or they’re already written off, because they’ve been lineup afterthoughts. And Thompson has also seemed to be an afterthought, despite what appears to be a good camp. I also believe that the starting lineup will be a starting point and the guys that get sent down might be back up in a hurry if the guys that are kept don’t get it done.

They are grown ass men skating what should be their final shifts in the NHL. I'm pretty sure they ain't getting better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Let's see who's in that spot tomorrow.) And how long till we hear the rallying cries of "Reinhart MUST run his own line" and "Skinner & Eichel must be a line or a $9MM player is being wasted?" ?

Midway through the 2nd Okposo totally #### the bed alone at the side on a nice play from Mittelstadt to Vesey in front across to the aforementioned wide open Okposo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
