Was thinking about the players we have lost and gained and wondered what the special team units will look like now. The PP obviously took a hit with Hamilton gone as that was prob his best attribute. Plus he kept Chara off or minimized which was a great thing. I have no idea if Beleskey can do either but one would figure a guy with a legit shot like that would enjoy the PP.
The PK is a little worrisome. Losing Paille and Campbell who were both excellent killing penalties, might hurt us. I don't know the new guy Joonas but most are saying he is a good 2 way guy. Does anyone know if he was on pk where he played? Obviously bergy/marchand is a pair (arguably best in the league), but who else? I have to assume kelly is gone before start of season as I just don't see a spot for him unless that Joonas guy doesn't impress.
Let's see some full units!
