Not what I'd do but what I'm expecting to see if everyone's healthy based on early rumblings and previous deployment. Sandin being waiver-exempt likely to hurt him until they run into injuries. Campbell's net to lose at the start but will be surprised if they don't give Mrazek some runway to find his bearings and work into a ride the hot hand type scenario. Simmonds' two-year deal likely to deter anyone from a waiver claim, though we could see Spezza threaten retirement again to get them cap compliant. Kampf at 3C is concerning, hopefully Keefe has a different idea for that 3rd line... Willy to 3C? Bunting's got unsustainably incredible numbers in his brief NHL career thus far, his ability to provide with JT and on the PP will swing expectations this season by a lot. Wonder what kind of leash they'll give Semyonov as they've tended to let those overseas UFAs play their way out of a spot before sitting them. Don't have a read on the guy but wouldn't be surprised to see him get tested early in the season to see what they've got in him. Excited to see what Kase can do if he's healthy, seems like a smart player. Ritchie too, impressive numbers... Maybe Don Cherry was ri... nah. Looking forward to being wrong about all of this in a week.
