Think it has more to do with the fact that he’s been very injury prone in the last couple seasons. He had 1 good year so far in his career and failed to make an impact with the last 2 teams he played with. Not to mention he was healthy scratched by his coach.
I don't get those that knock the Central and consider the East the Group of Death either. Seems the top teams in the East have just as many questions as they do dominating clubs.
Who knows what the actual lines will be... but just put Trenin in the "???" spot in your roster, and that's our 13 forwards, anyway. It's all done on that front. Training camp becomes all about finding the right alchemy, not about winning any roster spots... those are all filled now.
Your point would be more worrisome if the Preds were giving up large amounts of term and/or picks and prospects for this stuff. As it is, it's a way to attempt to remain competitive while the prospect pool is rebuilt, which is a Good Thing.
No. Haula and Kunin were never on the team together, Granlund and Kunin both played RW in MN.
Jarnkrok in the top 6 is terrible to see..... Here's hoping Tomasino is ready.
Haula is not that much better offensively and Järnkrok could somehow start scoring
otherwise I will claim either insanity or balance
Yeah, I want to start with JoFA intact. And I want to start with Granlund and Duchene on separate lines. So given those constraints, I think it effectively means there is no real "2nd" or "3rd" line... they are just equivalent at the outset, until something crystallizes.
