Not to mention Liljegren also at RD.
Even if he impresses I still see them sending him down to get top line minutes so that's why I left him out.

You think we got worse defensively this year??I'd say, a little worse.
He is going to make the team. We lost all of our toughness with Kadri gone. There are times in tough games when teams are gunning our goalie when you need Harpur to bust someone up. He knows what he needs to do. Just keep things simple- play PK ... clear the net, use his extra large reach advantage, eat pucks on boards, block shots and ice puck. on his few ES shifts help Dermott get puck out of our end. and when someone runs Freddy then bust him up bad. Put a bad hurt on a few people and it will get around league quick.Thanks for posting this.
I don't think Harpur makes the team out of camp. I think Liljiegren or Schmaltz get the right spot on the 3rd pair. But If Harpur does get the job, now I'll know why.
We do need a steady PK guy, and the team is definately lacking in grit. I'm not a big believer that a team needs much grit. But it is an element that we lack. If Harpur makes the team, I'll root for the guy.
His ELC and UFA clock both start this season, so I think if he is the best option they will keep him. Next year due to the cap he may be forced into a top 4 role right off the bat. Best to give him the experience at the highest level this year.Even if he impresses I still see them sending him down to get top line minutes so that's why I left him out.
Freddy will get more shots but i think you will see his high danger shots reduce. Forwards always get a little tentative and intimidated when they know they might have to face up to a big man. It is why Chara has been a force for so many years,I'd say, a little worse.

That's a hot take and a half.

There are a lot of them out there. Scary.. lol
Well I actually mistakenly thought Harpur was a righty until today. So I had assumed Gravel would be in for the start of the season.
But it looks like Harpur, now that I'm caught up and know that he shoots left.
I dont know Kivihalme enough to make a guess on him until I see him with my eyes in preseason.
No matter what way you slice it, I think Barrie and Ceci are much better than Zaitsev and Gardiner - offensively and defensively.Nah just a single hot take. Yes we'll move the puck better but we're gonna have just as many if not more issues in our own zone.
I think our GF goes up slightly but so does our GA.
Go ahead and hate on me, just something I see happening.

Kivihalme is like the opposite player to Harpur. Another soft, skilled, fast, puck mover (another Rosen?). Babcock will likely want Harpur and the sandpaper he brings that we lack.

Your posts remind me of reading Shakespeare in high school. Makes me feel like a fool, Senor.I mean the man playes rugged and tough with his puffs he ain't no joke y'all already knew. The man has size and talent (violence) in him. He might be one of our wished punishers (like the series) if our martin dream came true. Then we'd have a marriage with hyman, agostino, ceci and harpur. They finna punish some, but not enough sire. Y'all better recognize.
