Stoked to watch Brannstrom up close tonight. One of the most intriguing prospects in the game right now.

that's a very regular seasonish looking lineup. we will have a top 6 out there for the first time.

Inserting Ferland for Schaller
Quinn and Tanev for Fantenberg and Biega
That’s basically our opening line up
I wonder how Motte will fit in unless they move out a veteran.

That looks like our starting forward lineup with Ferland inserted anywhere. Finally we get to see the first two lines together in a game!

Ferland is sick with a cold/flu apparently. They are keeping him away from everyone.

Eriksson, Lucic and Okposo: what an awful trio of signings several summers ago.

Wasn't Backes and Ladd also the same yr?
That offseason I think has spearheared the sway towards paying players pre-prime young rather than post-prime career rewarding contracts.

he's actually looked fine this pre-season and had some decent little chemistry with Gaudette of all players
If Gaudette can find chemistry with Loui and Sutter cannot, then maybe Gaudette just found his way to get into the lineup - likely easier to try move Sutter than Eriksson at this point

Pretty much just 7 players to follow tonight. It will be a good game to get eyes on Bottom six minus Beagle + Baertschi + Fantenberg.
Everyone else is basically locked into their spots.
Virtanen probably needs to have a damn good game tonight because Motte looked like a good fit next to Schaller and Beagle.

I agree, but I still hope Schaller gets waived. He struggles to skate with the puck, even by 12/13th forward standards, his puck-handling is bad. I’m still amazed at how he’s the same guy who scored that highlight reel goal with the Bruins a couple of years ago. The guy struggled to receive tape to tape passes at times last year.
Hopefully it was just a confidence thing since he took forever to score his first as a Canuck.
I think Sutter only gets moved for an overpayment at this point. If the goal is to make the playoffs, then right now Sutter is on the 3rd line. I'm not against having AG play on the same line but no way is he ready to fill Sutter's role defensively. Same goes with LE. Putting aside his contract, plus all the negativity, he's still a better player than Motte, smaller and Leivo. I know a lot of people disagree, at least we can agree our goalie tandem as a chance to be top tier this season.
