tampa is not moving him

You never know .. like you said Anyone is available at the right price

Botts continues to check-off the To Do's in a demanding offseason for him.
- Hire Coach, check
- Resign Skinner, check
- Bolster D, check
- Improve secondary scoring, check
- Upgrade middle 6, check

Left To Do, although not necessarily this off season
- Rid the team of scrubs
- Find a bonafide partner for Dahlin on 1st pairing
- Secure 2C
- Secure 1 or 2RW, depending on Reino fit

Pretty well done so far!

With Cozens’ injury, does he still get his 9-game tryout? Seems less likely.
- Sabre_Tooth

As you have inferred, the timeline on his recovery will drive that.
If it is closer to the 2 month period...it will ge close.
At 3 months or longer, nope.

Still need that 2C. Would like to hear Botts comment on MoJos primary position, at least to start the year.

It better be wing and center if there’s a injury just For a plug-in

Mojo hasn't played an extended look at center in a very long time.

I don’t care about the 9 games I would rather him miss it so our Organization doesn’t jump because he makes a Highlight reel goal in preseason

Right. But he has before, and personally I want to see him on the wing. I just want to hear his thoughts. It will be very telling if he doesn't verbally slot him into 2C. Would mean he's still active trying to find one. If he says the opposite, well..

as far as secondary scoring goes

johansson has popped in 24 so if healthy could get 20 goals
vesey always seems good for 17 or 18 goals
sheary has been a 20 goal scorer in the past
e-rod puts up decent numbers for the bottom 6


it really comes down to casey, olofsson/tage/nylander and the okposo factor


the 2019-20 could be summed up with 2 words

It’s whatever now they just have to be smart and let him develop I don’t care if he has 7pts or Something crazy in preseason
He should be sent down

You can’t spell Mittelstadt without tits:

Johansson is a decent player...
but why do so many seem to think this guy is a 2C?

He’s a LEFT WINGER

Played LW for Boston
Their centers were Bergeron, Krejci & Coyle

He was mostly on the wing in Jersey
Their top2 centers were Hischier & Zajac

And he was almost never a center for the Caps,
where he spent the majority of his career
Backstrom, Kuznetsov & Eller played in the middle

So while he’s a fine player,
that could/should get 45ish points...

I really hope Botts plan for 2C doesn’t AGAIN involve playing a WINGER in that spot
We all saw how it worked out last time with Berglund

Looks to me like he just got the top9LW slot most of us had Olofsson playing

Well this is a lie.

You can’t think about NHL summer without Sommer Ray

Literally 3 people on here think he can play C.

All that matters is where Botts and Ralph slot him.

He will be in Lethbridge. No way he plays the season here.
