It will be nice when the bold is finally no longer an issue.

Hopefully the start of that is this coming season, at least to a small degree.

Agreed. I think you're going to see a hungry bunch, and hopefully that leads to some entertaining games.

The early preseason games have seemed to show that Garanto has been emphasizing shot quality over shot quantity. Interesting to see if that continues.

Their speed is evident, too. Who knows? Maybe we get career years from guys like Vinnie & Bjork (guys who supposedly have something to prove).

Wright with 100% certainty.

Other three could go either way, if they don’t play right away they would need one year of seasoning tops.

It's probably their best line, but 3rd line quality. #Suffering

Will see, hopefully Mitts can keep his momentum from the end of last year. Maybe we get a surprise and they actually turn into a good number 2.

Yes it does, hopefully they can gel. Gonna be interesting to see who is on the team here shortly. Next preseason game I wouldn't mind seeing.

I don't think they are gonna Finish last IMO. I think Anderson is gonna be better than people think, yes he's old, but he is fresh after having basically a year off.

My buddy worked a restaurant that Orton frequented regularly while here. Said Orton would come in on a Saturday and his table would polish off a couple bottles of wine. He was so over it. Zero (frank)s given

Probably in the minority, I think he will be decent when he plays.

We'll see soon. He's been given a great opportunity, but obvious questions if he's ready for it.

That D and a 40 year old goalie? Heck, the rest of the team finding its way too may not give him much help. I'll wait to be surprised.

I wonder what type of return we’d get on Dahlin with current contract
