This team beating up teams wont be the usual. I would expect less than last year and they had a hard time with Bathurst during the year so consistency will be a problem especially as other teams have bulked up. The playoffs I think gave people a different outlook on the regular season than it actually was.
I do feel there are plenty of positions for ice time especially forwards who could be pushed out, if skill shows in any of the new players. Meier needs to be traded if possible.
This team is actually looking to have the possibility of having 2 scoring lines this year. Last year they had 4 guys that's it. If this Ilya comes as advertise and assuming the Euro pick will be fairly skilled that should give us at lest 5 guys. This team will be a team that surprises some teams is all I'm saying.
I don't disagree with trading Meier I just don't see it happing.
i agree with Statsman on the forwards. This team looks like it will have an interesting top two lines. With putintsev on that second line especially could provide some hop to it. Max Fortier was coming together as a good player and he will surprise many if he is playing top line. I think the new Euro thats drafted may not go on the second line right away so maybe Dachyshyn can compete for that.
