I thought Dater said Nemeth made it into the top-6 and Barberio didn’t.

Nemeth - Cole pairing would be a disaster, with Barbs you at least have one semi-capable puck mover.

Agreed, but I think they see Nemeth as a high end PK guy... so he probably draws in more often than not.

Both our seasons start tonight. Avs/Wild, Sens/Hawks. This is the first time I'll have ever really used that NHL.tv split screen feature.

Agreed, which is why I was a bit puzzled they went after Cole at first, but I think they see him as someone to ease in Makar when the time comes.

My personal theory has shifted to EJ insurance. A guy who can step into a middle pairing role on a good team (Cole has done it before) and not hurt the team too much while playing there.

Why? Makar shoots right and Cole shoots left, why put them on their off hands?

Cole is better as a RD

Cole plays RD, Makar can play both and if I'm not mistaken actually prefers LD, but Henchy can correct me on that one if I'm wrong.

I don't know if he prefers LD, but Makar can play both. Makar mostly played right last season and will play right this season. Makar played both sides with regularity at Brooks. Happens when you are out for 30+ minutes a game.

That's from Makars mouth actually.
