With this team's forward group so revamped, you'd have to conclude that they might have a slow start to the season while they try to work out team chemistry.

Also, it's hard to think NJ won't be a top ten offence in the league. Probably won't save them from being a bottom five defence, but hey, maybe the goaltending will make them a bottom ten defence instead.

If they make the playoffs, though - probably an early exit for the same reason as Calgary.

Cant complain now though as there shouldnt be any 2 steps forward and one back left to take so it should only be forward progression from here !

Devs have acquired the KHL MVP, CHL D of the year, 1st overall Draft pick, Subban, and Simmonds. Seattle won't be able to do this much damage during the expansion draft!!!!

With the offseason Shero has had you can't complain about it at all. Everybody knew this was the year to make something happen and he certainly has.

Totally can't complain. We'll see how it goes considering Boqvist, Hughes, and Gusev have never played a minute in the NHL but it's just been a remarkable off season. The skill level is going to be sick and the play should be exciting. On paper it's great.

Last game of last season this was the line up

Wood zajac Anderson
Coleman hischier Bastian
Agostino zacha Stafford
Seney Rooney McLeod

Greene sevs
Yakovlev Carrick
Butcher santini

That was from Amanda Stein

Yes injuries played a big part but what a transformation

Imagine if wood can pot 20 and boqvist, hughes and gusev all hit their stride early? We wont have to worry about not being entertained. Even when we lose it should be 5 to 4 or 6 to 5 lol something we havent seen before lol

With the big club actually having players it might be worth checking out the ahl pass for next season since we should have some good talent down there to.

So does anyone still want to talk about Nyquist or Ferland?

Yak and the Goose could have been besties... But seriously is Gusev our only Russian?

Hopefully he can be a big mentor to 6 foot 6 nikita popugaev who has a big shot and some celly game lol

Just about a perfect offseason.

Completely agree as chemistry could be an issue....however we finally have suitable talent so fingers crossed.

The paper comment reminded me of a joke. "How are the Titanic and the Rangers roster similar?" ........ They both look great on paper, until they hit the ice.

Just about a perfect offseason.

If Hall doesnt sign he never wanted to. Its really that simple.
If he wants to wait a couple months and willing to negotiate during season Im cool with that. If Hall says no negotiating during season, and the offseason moves arent enough trade his ass.

Compare him to a NHL player, I dont know anything about him.

I want to talk about undersized players and how I hope they double height and weight in the offseason

I remember that name! Blast from the past! Wasnt he a career AHLer?

Honestly let’s trade Hischier for point and be done with it. This team needs to get smaller.

For a year or two maybe

NHL 07 or 08 had me on the third line behind him and parise. I had 89pts at the end of the season and both had more than me.

height/60 is the most important stat we have

Defense still isn't perfect, but in general you're right. It's going to get real dry talking about Hall but that's the only concern I have until I see this team play.
