GDT: Kraken @ Oilers @ 6:00 PM (Pre-season Game #2)

[Oilhawks]

That was pretty much what Edmonton's roster should be. Like who played for them tonight that won't be starting opening night? Who was missing, Foegele, Kassian, Ceci, and Keith?

The ones that likely won't be starting are Broberg, Berglund, Neimelainen, with Koekkoek in with Ceci and Keith (Russell as 7D). For the forwards, one or two (at least) will be sent down with Foegele, Kassian and Ryan in (which is probably the 3rd line). One of the bottom 6 lines from tonight will be the 4th line and an extra forward or two from the other.

It'll be interesting to see a more complete Kraken line-up!

Oilers fan here.

Seattle probably wins. Oilers have a very veteran lineup tonight, throttle probably be at 25% or so.

Just one of those idiosyncrasies; veteran's and bona-fide nhlers usually coast in pre-season. Nothing to gain aside from getting touches, back in the rhythm / timing of things, and game shape. Usually rare a group of nhlers goes all out in exhibition, guys largely playing not to get injured.

Seattle likely goes all out.

I bet 4-2 Seattle.

Wow
How do u make out on Proline?

Derek Ryan, Kris Russell, and willy Laggesson missing from your list.

That's basically entire 3rd line and 2nd pairing D.

Likely Turris / Benson / Broberg/ Burglund/ Niemeleinan all don't make it.

But in retrospect pretty stacked deck in Oilers favor; top 6 + all 6 guys fighting for a 4th line spot.

You're wrong

Not really any truth to this. Hell the Flyers just played last night at home and only dressed 10 of their expected 18 regulars.

Locking this up.
