1. Shinkaruk is like Drouin with 1/6 of the skill. I'd be angry if he's brought back. Audette can go too, we can do better by playing a vet.
2. Habs team has Domi/Gallagher/Drouin/Tatar/Danault/Shaw/Lehkonen/KK/Byron/Weal/Thompson/Armia. That's 12, so unless Hudon is traded, 2-3 of Deslauriers/Peca/Hudon/Weise are going down. That's if we get no signing at all this summer up front. I would still get Belzile back too.
3. Verbeek and Pezzetta are also playing their 2nd pro year.
4. Your forward line-up is all scrambled. No way Verbeek plays 2nd line and Weise sit for Waked (Weise probably bump Vejdemo to 4th line).
5. Ouellet would take Olofsson spot there (who in turn takes Lernout spot). Lernout is probably not back and you forgot Lamarche who still has a year left.
Help me out, List your line-up?
1. Was not aware of Shinkaruk's game. Don't know too much about him but thought he was a decent AHL depth guy
2. Hudon is not likely to get a NHL contract. Maybe a AHL contract. It comes down to Weise vs Peca for the 23rd spot if you ask me. If Poehling makes the team, then Deslauriers is at risk to be sent down too.
3. Verbeek and Pezzetta. My bad. Forgot that it's their 2nd year too
4. My line-up is a guess. Pure and simple.
5. Ouellet was not that good on D and Olofsson only played 2 games last year. I think he can be a better option vs Ouellet if he is healthy. I think the goal should be to shore up the D and help out the Laval goalies. Should be interesting to see how the D looks. I like how it's shaping out and the options Bouchard will have is a good thing.
Lernout not back? Why? He was one of our better defensive D man in Laval last year? Are we looking at points only again? It don't work that way
