Interested in the McWard story above all else really. That and how Boeser comes out the gate, but that's the line for tomorrow.

They had half a season and this offseason. They shouldn't be needing to learn anything by now unless they are recent additions.

Different year, same story. Throw AHL tweeners out there to "see what we have", watch them get stomped, play the full team in the last game, come out flat.
Yawn. We should be getting our kicks in with the full line-up now. This isn't a development year, this is a year where it's crucial that we make the playoffs, and that needs to start yesterday.

Sounds a lot more likely than another AHL roster. 6 preseason games
1st game: is a throw away away game full of ahlers.
2nd game 50% NHLers
3rd game the other 50% NHL era
Vets 1 game at the 1/2 way mark and the wannabes 2 shots to impress.
Games 4-6. 2/3rds NHLers and best hopefuls
After 6 preseason games the vets will have either 3 or 4 warm up pre-season games. This balances injury risk/fatigue management against rust.
Garland and Raty duo might be dominant enough to overtake Millers line
Everything has to go right though
Regulars are going to get in like 3 games, maybe 4, but most likely it's going to be 3. If they decide that those 3 games that the regulars do play, they are basically going to be icing their opening day roster, fine, go and get them gelled and ready to go from the start.
They need to be ready to go from the start, not be out of it by game 15-20.

Still need to prove it in the playoffs obviously, but at the very least they probably have some form of historic regular season in my opinion.
Regardless who we ice, the Oilers will cave our defense in tonight, and probably all year.

Lmao at those who think we would play our veterans for 6 straighr pre season games.
How Joshua plays tonight should tell us if he got the message or not. Should be a fun one
I think vets need like at most 3 games to warm up and get up to speed, anything more is just injury risk but we have 6 because $$$$$$$$
Looking forward to seeing Bains against NHL competition.

This is a home game isn’t it? How is Edmonton still icing a more NHL ready roster than Vancouver.
This bit the team in the ass last season, so why do this same shit again

Would love to see him beside Raty and perhaps someone like Garland that can do a bit of the play driving.
I look at Bains as a “jack of all trades master of none” type of player. Sometimes you need those types of players and I do think Bains will find himself with the Canucks sooner rather than later.
I don’t necessarily see anything wrong in his overall game. But I also don’t see anything that really sticks out either. A guy who’s flown under a bunch of people’s radar for majority of his career. He seems very unpredictable, in a sense, in that you don’t really know what you’re going to get from him, but you just have this feeling he’s capable of actually amounting to something.
Maybe I’m just talking out of my ass, what do I know. What I do know is that Bains, Hirose, McWard all share a similar story. And guess what, they seem to be our diamonds in the rough in terms of how prospects go.
Kuz - Petey - Hog
Joshua - Sasson - Dries ??
Bains - Raty - Garland ??
Aman - Blue - Stud
Yeah the first and 4th line are what they’ve been trying at practice. No clue how the middle lines will come together.
Defence is the same. Hughes-McWard is obvious Myers is the only other righty. There’s also 7 guys so one of Rathbone/Wolanin/Brisebois is getting scratched.
Looks likely. I’d expect Joshua to get reps with Blueger if he shows up.
Hughes McWard
Brisebois Myers
Wolanin Soucy?
Maybe they move Soucy up and McWard down.
