Description

For anyone who watched it you know who the stand outs were

Showed great: Lehtonen and Boyd both played great but I don't think anyone expected Boyd to show like he did.

Showed well: Robertson, barabanov, engvall, Joey Anderson, Hollowell and Sandin. Robertson did play well but I'm not sure it was enough to push Vesey down. I was very happy with barabanovs pick pursuit and speed, I think he has a good offensive eye like mikky just needs a bit more time to get used to the small ice. Joey Anderson showed some good vision and some good speed/edge work.

As for the regulars Marner and Campbell were by far the best.

I think Boyd definitely showed enough to be able to say he is the first guy up if someone isn't cutting it I personally believe that both he and Spezza will rotate because I think Spezza has lost a gear but is still a valuable asset and can make some stuff happen I just don't think he will be able to keep up in the condensed season.

If a top nine winger goes down due too injury Robertson is the guy without question.

Taxi squad is in order of first forward and first dman up if someone is injured

Are they going more balance for all the lines or what’s going on here?

Hyman and soup should be in the top 6 imo.

Seems to be the plan. Matthews/Marner and Tavares/Nylander pretty much make up a line on their own. Guess they figured strengthen the bottom six.

Edit: Also, since no one else seems willing to say it: Lehtonen did not look good. I'm not that concerned about it; there's an adjustment period to playing smaller ice. But everyone's raving about his showing and it's pretty undeserved, imo.
