I think NYI have plenty of building blocks this year, especially on defense. I'm really not worried about the team there. Goaltending is also going to be a work in progress - I don't really love the way Varlamov is moving.
What I'm liking: Beauvillier's overall game, Nelson despite the penalties, Komorov playing smart hockey, Toews is dynamic, Pelech looks very good, Bailey is consistent, Greiss is playing a good quiet net.
What needs to get better: Barzal's decision making - he's getting attacked on the backside and he hasn't adjusted, what's with the slow start Pulock?, Varlamov isn't moving well, Nelson's discipline.
What I'm worried about: Lee's inability to move with the puck is dragging down his line, Boychuk is super smart and all effort but is noticeably slow, Brassard has easily been our worst skater - slow, overhandling the puck, off his man, and poor decisions.
This team desperately needs a better center.
