I would keep Joseph, but i love the Toffoli acquisition.
Rather just give up some other prospects + picks. Rutta is expendable piece ofc. Or like Martel...

Interesting, that you think Witkowski will be in the lineup. I don't think so... Verhaeghe FTW!
Also do you really think we play Sergy on the LD? From what i've seen/heard this preseason: Hedman-Serg top pair and see how it goes...

And why do u have Coburn on the RD?

I'm not an avid bolts watcher but I always do like the input of specific team's fans!
I wasn't sure on which LHD played the best on the right side. Hearing that Sergachev can play it makes the roster more clear, thus pushing Coburn to LD.
I haven't heard much on how the preseason has gone as to which prospects are pushing the roster for TB. Verhaeghe is doing that?

Over the years our goal was:convert Serg from LHD to RHD.... it's still in the process... we are still not sure if it's succesful or not... it's hard...
natural RHD = hard to find good ones in this league right now, so if we manage to do that = 1 less problems to solve for next years

I like Verh. and Stephens(starts in AHL) the most so far. Foote also i like(Cal). But he probably only gets 9 games. Nolan Foote is for sure WHL.(update)

ABB,Raddysh on the other hand for me clear they are not gonna make the team. I thought they are better. I guess they need more AHL years...

Let's just say i would be disappointed if Verhaeghe doesn't start game 1-2 in the regular season. From there anything can happen. But still couple matches left from preseason.
Some guys i heard talking here and there: Volkov is better than last year, but i'm still not so sure about him...
Kucherov(128 points LOL, still crazy to think about that many points from 1 player) coached him this month a lot... so maybe he will be good enough... idk... the question is good for 40+ games or only under 10...

My top3 right now:Verh(4th line),Volk(Scratch),Witkowski(Scratch), but maybe our coach has different opinion. They see every pratice etc... so i trust them, that they will choose the best player avaialable for Oct. 3rd.
Update :Stephens(assigned to AHL already)--> replaced by Witkowsky on my top3 list, i like that guy, he is versatileand likes to hit/fight.(from what i've seen so far)


I also like Schenn, can you rate Schenn for me on a scale 1-10? You must have seen him play a lot... What's the weakest thing in his game?
Oh, you're from Vancouver, so i guess you're a fan?
What do you think right now? Playoffs or no playoffs in percentages?(Calg,Vegas,SJ + 5 from central imo)
For me 35% playoffs only for your team... But if you think it's 50%+, i will be glad to listen to your reasons/feelings
