Forward group is just cluster-fuck of awful lol.

Defense is going to be bad after Edler - Tanev pairing unless Hutton has a bounce-back year. He and Stecher could make a solid 2nd pairing.

MDZ - Gudbranson pairing sounds like a disaster defensively but might be okay as a sheltered 3rd pair.

I'm curious as to what Utica will look and how these signings change that.

i wish our next euro twins played to develop in AHL, but i think they're heading to SHL.

goldy looked good with the twins, but i get a feeling he will be in the AHL with call ups

Forward group for Utica was already awful and now they lost Grenier. I imagine we'll see some signings for the AHL soon, at least I hope.

D-men:
Subban
McEneny
Pedan
Holm
Brisebois (hopefully)

Goalies:
Demko
Bachman

I think they'll be a powerhouse, depending on who makes the lol nucks team.

I know they don't want to rush the kids but I get the feeling like Boeser and Goldobin are good enough to make the big team. Goldobin has already spent time in the AHL and Boeser might just NHL ready.

Virtanen might need another year in the AHL but it's not like he's a big producer lol.

I guess they can force the kids into the AHL even if they're good enough for the NHL. It'll be interesting to see how they approach it.

Less stacked, dahlen will go shl instead

They're definitely both ready for the NHL imo, but if they don't make the team it's probably going to be because of the clusterfuck up front, and they're both waiver eligible. However, there should be 1 space available between the two, and i think Brock will get it because he has the shot that nucks need desperately, and his mindset of being a pro/maturity is already there like horvat. Gold on the other hand just wants to yolooo and enjoy his life w/ all dat dough at early age which i don't really blame him for lol. (brock be like, im going to prospect camp cuz i wanna be a leader, develop with other prospects, and i still got lots of learn etc.etc. while gold's like i want a new car doe)

I think Virtanen should stay in AHL for at least 2 more years or even longer. Maybe develop with Pettersson and Dahlen when they arrive to AHL later on. He's still young, and players like him develop late anyway.

From what I was told / what I read:

- Pettersson was great but definitely very weak
- Gaudette looked good as well
- Dahlen was just okay
- Boeser looked bad, might not have been trying
- Chatfield was the best D-man
- DiPietro did not look great
- MacEwan is a fantastic skater for his size/strength
