Speculation: 2023 Training Camp

[DuckDuckGetz]

Gaining Zegras and Drysdale at the cost of Carlsson... some real monkey paw shit

 

[Sean Garrity]

No way...

 

[Leonardo87]

You got to be F’ing kidding me.

 

[Gliff]

Just hope it isnt anything serious.... but ffs.

 

[AngelDuck]

GDT is locked so I'll comment here.

Top line was dynamic, but I'm not sure they should stick due to the lack of depth with the other 3 lines. Still, I won't be upset if it continues to be a thing for a while. They really are a treat to watch.

Plenty of the vets are in preseason mode and it's obvious. I just hope they flip the switch once the season starts. Gibson being the most obvious and Stroke/Vatrano not far behind.

I can't believe we were getting calls. I can't believe Newell Brown knows what he's doing.

Heading into the rookie tournament and preseason, I had Minty ahead of Zellweger for the better odds to make the team. Then swapped, but now I'm back to thinking the same. There's probably only room for one, and they'd have to beat out LaCombe if they'd want second pairing duty.

Fire Kassian into the sun.

LoLassi.

Leasson impressed. He should be a lock with Carrick on the 4th line, but I'm not sure who else should play with them.

What is a third line? Lundestrom and Killorn being out really exposes the lack of forward depth. Anymore injuries up front and this team will be in even deeper shit.

And suddenly I'm not that excited for the season to start. Was really looking forward to seeing more of that top line from last night even though the bottom 6 is horrid.

 

[HanSolo]

Unbelievable.

 

[duxfan1101]

With no Killorn or Carlsson, that means our forward group is essentially the same as last season, which is extremely depressing.

Our third line is weaker than I'd like but some combination of Carrick/Leason/[insert any 3rd player] is a totally fine fourth line, dare I say even a good fourth line

 

[duxfan1101]

Is Zegras a center again? Or do they just put Henrique or Strome in the middle?

In the NHL?

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

Why don't they say what it is.. fkkk he either twisted his ankle or something happened to him..blocked a shot

 

[HanSolo]

The cosmic irony of Leo being the most promising and effective player last night only to potentially suffer a major injury just before his NHL career really starts is quite palpable.

This franchise is Dante's Inferno. "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here."

Is it though? Say it's Mcginn-Carrick-Leason. That's 3 guys who probably wouldn't even get claimed on waivers.

This is bullshit.. fk the hockey gods

Okay good was too far of a stretch but the stanley cup winning 4th line center had 30 points last season... A fourth line player is a pretty low bar and i stand by my "fine"

 

[Arthuros]

Greeeeat, always good to start your season with an injury.

 

[Rybread86]

Delete. I dont know how to internet

 

[Dirk316]

Leason looks great playing against prospects and AHL players because that's were he should end up (AHL)
