Description

As much as I want Holtz to be on Hughes wing, Holtz isn't ready for those big minutes yet
Can't break up the European line. They have unreal chemistry
The young 3rd line. Mercer and Holtz looked great together. Adding Kuokkanen (who can play with anyone) on that line.
4th line from last year except Johnsson in instead of Bastian

New huge top pair. Offensive Hamilton and Defensive Graves
Smith and Severson, best pairing from last year
Offensive Subban and Defensive Bahl

Good goaltending tandem

What's going on with N. Foote? The ACGM hype around him has seemed to have died since camps opened. Is he showing he still needs some AHL conditioning?

He looked good to end last year but has had a disappointing training camp
Maybe another year in the AHL to improve his skating would help

You know the Devils took over the Utica AHL team affiliation after Vancouver bailed for BC. Utica are the main rivals of the Lightning AHL affiliate in Syracuse. So, I will be sad seeing him play against us many times this season.
