    Jessi Pierce has this, does anyone know if Russo has put anything out?

  4. Lauko and Trenin are for bottom 6 depth and PK prowess. We’re running back the same scoring players as last year

  5. I would love to see the Wild back in the playoffs this year, but I fear that they’re all but locked out with just how stacked the central division is. I can’t see them doing better than the Stars, Preds, or Avs, so they’re duking it out with the Jets and possibly Utah for a Wild Card spot. Granted the pacific is conversely quite weak so there’s always a chance two central teams can make it in.

  6. Idk if it’s just me but I like the idea of a Hartman-Trenin-Foligno line. I’m also curious to figure out who takes the other wing spot on the 2nd line, I could see Ohgren making the best impression out of the young guys. I think Heidt’s got a chip on his shoulder for slipping in the draft but I think he probably plays another year in the WHL.
