That's a lot of forwards......
Agreed.....but its a weird ass year, and Im okay with Dorion kicking the can down the road by one year so to speak. There will be injuries - more than usual with the truncated schedule. And Covid is going to pop its stupid head up more likely than not. So my guess is that we see a really fluid roster next season, and guys will be coming in and out of the lineup constantly.
So long as the AHL north division is still a go, and the young players left out of the rotation are still getting some games in this upcoming season, then Im okay with the extra NHL-capable bodies being handy for us this year.
And I truly do believe that our team is going to make life miserable for these other North Division teams, which are all on shaky ground imo. We already decided that pure truculence was the direction we wanted to go in this year, so f*** it, lets go all in and rattle some cages.
And theres something about this all Canadian division that will make the tears twice as salty and delicious as they normally would be. Especially if we start passing some underachievers in the standings at some point. The amount of hate flowing here would be enough to make old Emperor Palpatine on the other side of the universe go from 6 o'clock to midnight
