So, is Danforth or Doan placeholding for Tuch?

I'd imagine Tuch slots into the 2RW and pushes everyone else down a line.

Just ordered my Geersten jersey. This is our year, truly.

That second line is like bleach in the eyes. Thankfully line 3 looks fine 

Though even there Danforth is fairly dollar store

I think Engel's ordering is skewing perception.

With Lindy hammering home defence, my bet is Tuch goes with Zucker and McLeod in the real 2nd line that you can play against other good lines.

Kulich/Quinn is the Vanek/Roy is the sheltered offensive 3rd line combo.

Damn me and my skewed perception 

I forgot about this year’s annual edition of the new “Vanek Roy” line

Interestingly we still refer to it as the “Vanek and Roy” line because in the 19 years since no other prophesized versions have capably supplanted the memory

You're supposed to come into camp already in game shape.

Sabrespace needs your razor-sharp wit and gentle insight if we have any chance of making it through this year intact.

Add Geertsen to this mix as a potential 14th forward.

I wondered about this back when he signed, but Lindy name-dropping him in the presser reinforced it.

If they are serious about “culture” - and I think they are - he’s in the running to make the team in an Andrew Peters role.

Cozens Peterka Quinn in 2023?

All work and no play make thorny a dull boy

I can’t even remember who the third guy was at this point but as Vanek / Roy alone had more points in 2006 than those 3 combined this is one I won’t concede

I think every rw after Tage is up 1 line compared to when Tuch is there.

Except it didn't work and was the 2nd line.

At the very least it drives home the magnitude of needing to get Tuch signed 

(though again I really, really don’t see it being an issue)

Shows how little depth this team has and there's almost nothing coming to supplement it.

Thankfully we have a plan to make it up by simply committing to playing defence - that was always on Adams’ ledger for “Year 6”

Helenius in 2026, and Ziemer and Poltapov in 2027. Here we go!

I like Ziemer but idk if that's a 70pt winger, 50 is a stretch. Poltapov isn't real until he shows up.

Crap continuity. It’s all the rage.

When you get to a certain age, it’s all you have to look forward to, amiright @PASabreFan? 

[triumph_communes]

Both Tuch and Greenway push the slots down

 

Happy with the approach keeping that in mind. Bensen is useless if not top6, he just needed some strength.  Thompson played better on wing, the defense duties took him out of the offense too much.  I’m guessing they will swap with Norris for faceoffs here or there. Kulich will have a lot to prove as a 2/3C though. Bryson is at least not magically in the line up. Samuelsson might have a chance if he’s the least minutes

At least it’s interesting. It’s got Dalton Smith vibes but I’m looking forward to the discourse he’s going to create among the fanbase. 

[Thorny]

It’s so glaring it’s almost easily ignored due to sheer obviousness: but Norris sitting firmly at 1C is probably where things live or die. You simply need to say “Norris is 1C” for that to be driven home

Dalton Smith? Or Timothy Dalton

It’s actually kinda funny. 10 years of posting, all through the absolute muck. All of it 

Relatively positive poster, all things considered
