4-0 in the preseason. Since I am jumping on the wings bandwagon I get the sense there aren't many spots open. Which makes little sense given last year. Sounds like Holland is very old school but seems to lately like to the word 'rebuild'.
So what I see is a bunch of young guys who should make the team but might not because of politics/contracts. I have to believe that Sulak and Cholowski make the team right? That should really help the D.
Up front how many spots are there open? Ras appears to be a lock. Zadina AND Veleno going to join him? Hope so. Kinda wild to watch a changing of the guard.
Realistically We are going to see Ras up for sure, Zadina could make the team, but the AHL won't hurt him.
Coming in to the year it was assumed Hronek was going to make the team, and Cholo was going to play big minutes in GR, but Sulak may have snagged that spot. with Green out though we might see another D get a cup of coffee in the league.
The only player I'm 99% sure is getting sent down even though he has played great is veleno. Much like Ras last year I think they want him to dominate his current league before getting the call up. the last month should really help his confidence. so hopefully he takes that back to the Q with him.
My wildard player to make the team is Svech. he's played well this preseason, and I think we need to give him his make or break season. Plus I would prefer to see him in a bottom 6 role more than Zadina. lets not force Zadina into being some sort of checking forward like we did Jurco.
