Don't think Nylander has a sweater opening night.

It could probably be Ruhwedel over T.Smith as well.

I'd put Hino up in the #2RW. His speed can help a top 6 role more than on the 3rd line. Not 100% sure Nylander makes the team.

Pretty nice though here's hoping O'Connor plays well enough for 2nd line.

I'd swap Smith and Rakell. When Jake returns he will definitely go back to Sid's wing, so I think it will be important to see early on if Smith and Malkin have chemistry.

That is something I’ve been manifesting for over a year and a half now.

I agree, I think Poulin likely gets it. I just hope they have a completely fair competition. Best 12 forwards and 6 D get the spots. Also think Pitleck will be in lineup, think he has some potential.

Have some high expectations for him, Poulin, and Pitleck. Think all of them have good potential.

Agree. I think Nylander is waived and back in WB/S again. He’s just not an NHLer.
