What are your expectations for next season?

Curious to see if Mahura can take another step and log bigger minutes. I thought he was fairly solid in that 6th role.

I expect us to make playoffs and be a tough out, we have unfinished business.

Not sure how much he will play even early with injuries. Seems like odd man out.

He's one of two regulars (Forsling too) that will start the year, who know the system. He may play a bigger role early on (17-18 mins) and then slide back to 13-15 mins once we get healthier. Just my .02 but it'll be a dog fight for minutes on defense which should create good compete in the group

Fully healthy? I think we’re a well rounded team who’s built confidence and a level of expectation, led by tkachuk. But with montour out till November and Ekblad out till mid-December to January, I don’t really have any expectations. And that’s ok. I had no expectations throughout the playoffs, for the first time ever I wasn’t really on edge, I just watched and saw how things played out…and that went pretty well. As soon as I started thinking we could do it, we got swatted in the final. I’m just here for the ride and hoping for the best. Curious to see how the new guys do. The division is tough so I’m not counting my eggs before they hatch.

I see all of Ekblad, Forsling, Montour, OEL, Mikkola, Kulikov and debatable Reilly ahead of him. Even with injuries he is #6.

I am honestly surprised they buried him, as I thought he was a good bottom pairing guy all year last year playoffs included.

I fully expect one of Forsling and Montour to be moved if they aren't signed by the time Ekblad returns

I would be very sad to see Carlsson leave and explode somewhere else because of so many experienced lefty depth Dmen that we picked up... The guy paid his dues, had a fantastic season in the AHL, he deserves a shot. Hard for me to believe the Morgan Reilly could should clearly be ahead of him

Even worse, Mike Reilly, lol.

But I trust Zito and we will need the depth for sure.

My expectations are simple...
