Agreed, except I'd switch Mete and Brann.

Nope -

 

[Wondercarrot]

With or without Tkachuk I really prefer Jimmy with Pinto than Norris.
I don’t want Norris wondering what Jimmy’s going to do, and Pinto has probably already factored all the options in anyway.

 

[Boud]

Nope -

Brann was really good the last game and average for the rest of camp.

Mete was good throughout camp and not good last game.

Brannstrom has more upside and better offensively, Mete is steadier and better defensively. Unless Brannstrom can continously play like he did last game they're pretty close.

I think at best Mete can care take until the next pair gets on the ice where hopefully someone can make something happen

Brannstrom makes things happen

I don’t think Mete has been very good this camp. He’s slipping.

 

[God Says No]

I don’t think Mete has been very good this camp. He’s slipping.

Well, you're in the minority since a number of sources (coach, media, posters here, etc) have all been saying he's been good except that one game.

 

[DanyHeatley]

IMO we don’t need an overpaid Tkachuk to mess up our future upcoming contract extensions. If he signs a bridge deal, cool whatever trade him after year two. If he signs LT it can’t be greater than 8m. Regardless

Stutzle - Norris - Batherson
Formenton - Pinto - Brown
Paul - Tierney - Ennis
Sanford - Belleville - Watson

 

[Langdon Alger]

Any news on how long Watson will be out?

Looks like they're down to at most 11 healthy forwards on the roster. Either they're bringing someone else in or Agozzino is getting waived so that he can be brought back and sent down later without having to clear waivers.

Assennayo!

I missed Sabourin not getting sent down. That leaves the team at 12 forwards. Their roster on their website is not close to being accurate.

[BatherSeason]

Are Logan Shaw and Scott Sabourin actually going to be part of the opening day roster? That's ugly.

only 1 of the 2 I think. That puts them at 13 forwards iirc.

Brannstrom can be very good on the PP; good at ES, but will get crippled in the playoffs.
Mete is ok at ES but will also get crippled in the playoffs.

We need better Dmen.

 

[Cosmix]

I don't trust the coaches and media.

 

[JimmyApples]

I’m not sure how I feel about Sabourin making the team, especially if it’s in response to last nights game. Leafs are a fantastic team, but they’re not exactly a team you need to keep tough guys in the lineup for. This is a team that’s gotten physically dominated 5 years in a row in the playoffs.

 

[Cosmix]

When Tkachuk comes back, Sokolov returns to Belleville & Formenton replaces him at RW.

Formenton - Norris - Batherson
Stutzle - Pinto - Sokolov
Ennis - Paul - C. Brown
Sanford - Tierny - Watson

Except for Sanford, I agree. I would rather have Sabourin instead of him.

We play other teams too. Sanford appears to be on the team solely because he has a 1-way contract.

8. MDZ

Chabot had a very underwhelming camp in my opinion. Obviously number 1 d man but I hope he brings more urgency to the real season.

Agreed on Holden, Zub Brann and Mete. Overall I thought Brown was the worst by a substantial margin. Thought Zaitsev was pretty bad too. Seems like whoever he played with struggled. Didn't love MDZ's game either. Thought he was definitely bottom 3 but I thought Brown and Zaitsev were worse.

 

[BigRig4]

Formenton-Norris-Batherson
Stutzle-Pinto-Brown
Ennis-Tierney-Paul
Sanford-Shaw-Sabourin

Not exact lines obviously but based on today's move I think this is the lineup pending any waiver claims and/or Brady signing last minute.

Shaw and Sabourin are fringe AHLers, but you know, the rebuild is over!!

 

[Hale The Villain]

If we're not trading for anyone, we definitely need to claim at least two forwards

Shaw and Sabourin shouldn't see NHL ice
