I think they’re planning on a couple of graduations this year. Beck and Reinbacher. Likely Engstrom too. Something has to give.

Florian a possible 4th liner as well

I don't see a 2C in the graduating class.

 

[Habsy]

I don't see a 2C in the graduating class.

Because there isn’t one.

You would have to hope for growth out of Kapanen because Newhook is what he is. That’s not to say that he couldn’t put up 55-60 points in a healthy year but what about the defensive aspect?

 

[CH1]

I don't see a 2C in the graduating class.

Definitely not.

But if they get a “Knies” type to play on the first line, I’m more than ok with a 2nd line of Slaf/Newhook/Demi

 

[Krustchev]

Agreed . . . but they haven't done that either . . . yet.

Defensive nightmare

 

[CH1]

Defensive nightmare

Yeah/ Demi is the responsible one in that scenario.

 

[Habsy]

Think about that. Yeesh.
