Brown. Former junior captain in Erie and an "A" in Ottawa who plays the game the way it should be played by everyone. Got to think he's a guy they want to resign ASAP and not a rental.

I was just thinking thats probably the reason Mojo is still an NHLer. Elite zone entry guy. Or maybe the fancy stats say I'm wrong.

If he plays the half wall and kuzy the goal line, that opens up a whole new wrinkle with a heavy left shot. I like the thought of it. Teams cheated off Backstrom cause they always expected handle&pass.

Hot take: Snivley should make the team over Mojo.

Kinda wish the Flyers could put more pressure on Lingren.

Agreed but from these eyes Snivley brings more to the table right now.
Need that killer instinct Protas, c'mon!
That's not so hot, I thought that last season.

So far Lingren looks like a calm, competent NHL goalie. So I’m kinda weirded out
Exactly why I advocated for Mantha in that spot. Having a left shot threat like Tampa does with Kucherov opens everything up.

He's had good rebound control and I like his movement/deal with traffic on this PK.

Agreed, I think somebody like Strome might be an even better fit since he's got top notch puck skills too. Hopefully we don't see MoJo PP1 -_-

I like Lindgren's ability to play the puck. Smoothe.
I don't think entries alone carry that much value. On an otherwise dominant team I could see it more but they need more creativity and skill. I'd rather see Protas, Snively or perhaps McMichael in that sense 5v5. There's more there there offensively, esp. with Protas down low if early play is any indication. IMO it would be a shame to dress both Johansson & Gustafsson as players whose primary value stems from PP2 work. They need more sturdy and reliable 5v5 play first and foremost.

Strome shoots the puck! Something Backy/Kuzy/Eller don't do enough of.

That hate for Mojo this season is either going to get old fast or be amazing lol

I think the Nicky and Wilson situations may provide time to sort out Snively, Mikey, Protas, and MoJo.
I really like Protas’ combo of size, strength, and agility, it showed well last year and tonight - just needs to show some scoring finish capability at this level, which he shows signs of, but maybe not yet enough to count on. He’s an NHLer on a lot of teams, but still a maybe on this one.
