Laich doing a great job of watching everything from a safe distance on that shift

Laich needs to go away. I like how Green is playing. This is the most motivated he's looked since 2010 IMO. He's actually skating hard, playing aggressive and even trying to block shots. It's only the pre-season too.

I have PTSD from Oates but I feel like Trotz will switch things up if he sees them trending badly aka 21-20 together.

Kuznetsov has been a ghost so far. Where are the puck skills? He hasn't been controlling the puck at all. He just gets it and immediately gives it up.

And if the 3rd line is Chimera-Kuz-Ward we may be the only team in the league with 3rd and 4th lines outshining their top 6.

Ovi-Backis-Fehr
Laich-Mojo-Brouwer
Chimera-Kuz-Ward

NBTW's 30+40 prediction doesn't look good so far.

I would settle for healthy season with 30-40 points :)

What are you waiting from Kuz? He is not a C yet anyway.

Kuznetsov is playing with Laich and Brouwer. Does that really need to be explained further? He also had a great rush up the ice and a nice shift whilst playing with Brouwer and Conner.

Ovi needs to improve his board game in the offensive zone.

Too many pucks going through him.

I was hoping for 50 points but now I'm thinking closer to 40 than 50. I think we need to move him to 2nd line LW or 1st line RW and trade for a 2c. This is only going to get uglier if he, Johansson, or Burakovsky become the 2c.

You're putting this all on 3 games of preseason hockey when he put up 9 points in 17 games last year playing 4th line minutes under Adam Oates.

Especially if something happens to Nicky.
