I don't put much if any stock into camp lineups but I definitely think it's interesting that they are loading up the top two centers with their recent acquisitions at forward. Makes a lot of sense even if I question whether or not Tanev could actually hold down that role long term.
Kahun sounds like he's already impressing.

Biggest surprise of camp so far is that we haven’t gotten a “only Day 1, but Jack Johnson looks faster” tweet yet.

Even cheerleaders get dejected and stop waving their pom poms when it's a blowout.

If Tanev can actually score in EN situation he might be worth his contract to this team.

Nah...we have EN specialist McCann...

What a terrible image.
Translation: he looks slower and no one wants to anger JR by saying it.
If Kahun Tanev, and Simon did stick where they are day 1 of camp, the bottom six would have serious depth
Jake Sid Kahun
Chucky Malkin Tanev
Simon Bjug Horns
ZAR McCann Rust

Thats... that's rolling four lines I guess lol

I really, really love the idea of this depth on paper but honestly these projected lineups mostly tell me this team has one too many forward.

Right now definitely. By Halloween we’ll probably not have enough forwards.

"Johnson just made a tape-to-tape 5-foot pass. Already can tell he's improved a lot

There will be "I told you so's" Bet on it
You can NEVER have enough depth. If you have the cap space, take the depth and don't sell low... I'm a Yankees fans and all year people said we have way too many outfielders and position players... IL has been filled all year and every AAA player has essentially played all role at some point... depth, of you can afford it, is never too much.

Ha... with this team, no doubt. But I've always kinda been of the mindset that you can't PLAN your roster around injuries and have to rely on your system and quality callups from the farm, instead.
I don't know how enthusiastic guys like Hornqvist, Rust, McCann and Bjugstad would be toiling on the 4th line for big chunks of the season. Not just that but it seems like a huge waste of cap space. This team needs more ELCs and bargain contracts in those positions.
I think they'll solve it. I hope. It's just kind of an awkward situation ATM.

Team needs to establish an EN1 line.

The first 6 words scared the shit outta me. On this team too many players have been injured in camp or pre season or practice over the last decade, I am scarred

I've been digging through twitter and I've found literally no one who has given a comprehensive analysis of the scrimmage. I would have expected someone to be doing play-by-play of the game, but nope. Pretty much all I've found was who scored the goals an 1 tweet about Kahun doing well.
I'm surprised no one has died yet considering it's Friday the 13th.

If Johnson Letang is even on the table we're in huge trouble.
