Loved Okie as an Isles but the reason we let him walk is he is still relatively one dimensional. He is ok on defense and although he is a beast - he is not a power forward at all. He does not go to the net - doesnt park himself in front or around the net. He plays a peripheral game and is very good along the boards. He is not flashy - falls a lot trying to drive to the net and will not go to the dirty areas. I am also not sure how vocal of a leader he is and we were looking for more out of a 8 mil player. This is not a knock on Kyle - again I loved him as an Isles but he was allowed to walk for a reason. We had all year plus last year to extend and an offer was never even made.

We needed a player like that vs trying to find the full package which usually doesn't have any aspect that stands out.

Maybe you should have just signed him for $6M/yr., like we did.

Random, but does anyone remember any play Brian Gionta has made over the past two years?

Not a knock on him, but when I think of Gionta, I go, "he's the captain." And that's it.

I would. SD has a stronger secondary with weak DL and KC will probably run more. Plus A. Smith likes to dink and dunk.

girgens on the other wing would IMO be the best way to have it a well rounded line, if kane is on the first line

IMO it's
kane-ror-okposo
girgens-eichel-reinhart

or

ennis-ror-okposo
kane-eichel-reinhart

moulson and foligno are the wild cards of course

- homiedclown

I'd put Kane with Eichel and Reinhart. Think he played the best with them. Moulson would be my 2nd choice. I like Ennis as our 3C or 3W with Girgensons as 3C. A 3rd line of Moulson-Girgensons-Ennis would be nice, especially since that was our 1st line a few years ago.

First couple weeks we should see a lot of line tweaking . Lots of combinations , I'm not used to that.

hopefully they give them some time to develop something instead of in game changing every period

As long as a bad combo isn't given 20 more games to find their way.
