All I know is we covered our butts a bit incase Toews isn't ready to go out the gate. Johnson most definitely can play 2C, we know Dach is there as well in the top 2. Borgstrom becomes that wild card potential even more so and Carps seems pretty locked in to 4th line..Gaudette can also play C, but likely better suited for wing..same for Kurashev.
Not going to pretend to know anything about Toews illness and what he plans, but I would be pretty shocked if he isn't at camp - whether he breaks with the team from there is anyone's guess, but plenty of positive signs pointing the way we want it to for right now.
