How can we not be worried or disappointed after this preseason? Not one single player grabbed a hold of a roster spot and refused to let go. Most of the lineup is pretty much up in the air. The only constant you can count on are Hall-Hischier-Palmieri.
Our prospects are so damn meh it's not even funny. McLeod is so underwhelming, Quenneville is a question mark, Bastian will never become anything and has shown zero.
Speers looks just like a player dime a dozen.
Is there really a single guy in our organization besides Ty Smith where you can say "Can't wait until he arrives and starts to tear up this league"?!
And add Zacha to the meh-group.
Right now no one is really stepping to the forefront and taking charge of roster spots. The depth we had last year is looking like a thing of the past right now.
The preseason laid the ground for the entire season last year and they went out and hit the ground running last season. This year they just look completely lost imo. No chemistry whatsoever.
What depth did we have last year that we don't this year? Gibbons? That's it up front. And you would be straight up lying if you said you thought Gibbons would produce like he did prior to the season starting last year.
We have the same lineup pretty much so I don't understand how the roster is up in the air. It's the same save for one or two spots.
I don't entirely disagree. I think some of our prospects' performances have been underwhelming namely McLeod. JQ hasn't looked that good to me either, though he does look better than years prior I'm still not sure if he'll make a difference. I thought Speers was good but he was sent down so early for some reason. Seney has been good too, he reminds me of Bratt.
