The 4th line should be great. Maybe the best in the NHL. The third line is a question. They really need Fast or Miller to break thru this year.
You know I love the 4th line, I said it all day yesterday.... The 3rd line has the makings of a solid 3rd line. Brassard is very solid as a 3rd line C. You figure Hags or Pouliot will be one winger on the 3rd line. The question is the other winger. MZA? A kid? Other? That's the question. I will say this, and some disagree and I really disagree with people who disagree with this, but we have a lot of solid depth. Goes with that 4th line we really love dump. We have good depth upfront and on D IMO. Nice to have that for a change.
Maybe Torts would want Boyle since he seems to really like him, for a draft pick or midrate prospect. We can clear out a little more space and allow Lindberg to make the roster.
I think Boyle or Pyatt are moved. And with Cally and Hags out for at least the first 10 games or so, kids will get a shot early. If they produce they will find a perm spot for them. So they will get a chance early.
Its refreshing to have AV now, it seems he'll know how to build a competitive roster, whereas JT was seemingly clueless.
They needed a new coach and a new system in here. I believe this roster happens to be a very good one. They had a stubborn head coach who refused to change. It will be nice to see some of these players get a fresh start.
I am not unhappy with what Sather added to the team. Far better than last year's catastrophic additions. I am sure he'll being adding( by subtracting) during the season.
