What is in play with the D pairings?
I think only Larsson/Dunn is set, or am I wrong?

I think he starts in Seattle but if he struggles then they will send him downIs Wright starting in Coachella Valley or do you guys think he has a shot at cracking the line up? I saw the league granted an exemption for him to play in the AHL. I applaud that decision.
Thats mostly cause its at a non NHL rink so the API doesn't exactly work great.A. Potnotevengoingtotrytospellhislastname with a Kraken goal.
ESPN a online is barely covering this game and NHL.com is only slightly better.
Excuse my ignorance but what is API?Bright spot of the game. 6'8 myers getting shoved on his rear by 5'8 yamamoto.

But we have Berniers and he'll be Great in no time flat
Nothing super surprising there, honestly. Given a player like Sokolov cleared waivers the other day, I'm inclined to think Lind will clear.
Is there any chance Megna gets cut?I was thinking it was Shore and Lind had an outside chance to push for spots. Now, we still have Wright, Kartye, Hayden still at camp pushing for those spots.. am I missing anybody?
On D, is it just Evans, Ottavainen and (maybe) Seppala? Anybody know?
Of course, the goalie situation... that's still a thing.

Cale wasn't impressive at all at camp and didn't get a lot of ice time last season.

Remaining players in camp 4 more cuts to go.

Whats your best guess at opening lineup and PP1?
Not going to pretend to be anything more than a guy with an opinion and gstommylee is going to hate it:
McCann-Beniers-Eberle
Schwartz-Wennberg-Burakovsky
Bjorkstrand-Gourde-Tolvanen
Tanev-Bellemarre-Yamamoto
Kartye, Hayden
Dunn-Larsson
Oleksiak-Schultz
Dumoulin-Borgen
Fleury
Grubauer
Daccord
I still think there's an off-chance that they do something different with Tolvanen and it changes literally everything. if they do, it means I was entirely wrong about who is staying in Seattle.
I actually agree with the forwards you listed. Blueline is fleury or megna for me. Goalies wise eh at this point it doesn't matter if daccord is the back up he's the backup.
Yeah. The backup goalie situation isn’t the worst. I mean I’d send Driedger down if they were perfectly even just because he’s likely to clear and we’ve got amazing depth at goalie then. I don’t think Daccord clears though. After the Calder Cup run, I think a bunch of teams would take a chance on him over their backup. Hell, even good teams. Either way we probably have the best 3rd goalie in the league if either clears.
They will send him. I think they could be keeping him to increase his confidence since he stayed with the team to start the season last year.At this point eh its gonna work out or its won't regardless of who the back up is. I'm more off right now just waiting for Seattle to hurry up an send wright to the AHL
