You guys realize this is an exhibition game right?
That doesn't change the fact defense outside Weber, Alzner and Petry is shit. Add to that not a real puck-mover with offensive ability in this defense.

Mete has been a solid surprise
Nothing wrong with Benn
I like what I have seen from Jerabek
There's always the summer man.You guys realize this is an exhibition game right?
The Colorado Avalanche went 6-0 in the preseason before finishing dead last in 2016-17.

The scores don't matter but individual players looking like junk might matter.
I only care about guys that need to fight for jobs. There arent many to be had.
Happy with Hudon/Mete
Disappointed in McCarron and Scherbak
Wanted to see Juulsen play, sucks he got hurt.
Pretty standard for almost every pre-season ever. Some perform, some dont, some get hurt.
Talk to Trevor Timmins. He has some 'splaining to do.
Its gonna be:
Max-Drouin-Hemsky
Chucky-Danault-Gallagher
Hudon-Pleks-Lehkonen
Byron-Mitchell-Shaw
X-McCarron/Martinsen
Schlemko-Weber
Alzner-Petry
Jerabek-Benn
X-Streit/Morrow
Yup. Except this organization makes excuses not reparations.
Wasting picks and $ on a guy like Shaw, when you should be drafting those players.
There are lots of IF in this team:
If Chucky can bounce back?
If Gallagher can recover from his injury?
If Plekanec can bounce back?
and how many playoff teams have Schlemko type of defender next to a guy like Weber(or Jerabek or Benn)?
There are lots of question marks around this team as we talk.
Anyway my feeling is they will trade Chucky while his value is pretty low. I don't think he finishes the season with us.
Like Alex Debrincat?
There are lots of IF in this team:
If Chucky can bounce back? Maybe, but probably needs a change of scenery.
If Gallagher can recover from his injury? He's done, should have dealt him 3 years ago, with the aid of hindsight.
If Plekanec can bounce back? Doubt it, he's been on the decline for 2 years.
and how many playoff teams have Schlemko(or Jerabek or Benn) type of defender next to a guy like Weber? Would matter less if we could score more goals.

I for once am not worried about Pleks. We don't need the cap space right now, and he will provide stability if he stays between Hudon & Lehkonen.
