Oh Reichel is so cooked if he can’t even scratch this lineup.
Weird first line. Love to see Allen in there.
I think Teravinen speed with Bedard playmaking ability is a crazy good combo
But I wish there was someone else with them
Kurashev Bertuzzi or even Hall
But it’s first game line changes and shit
I really had my doubts about Donato last year, but I liked what I saw from him late and then in pre-season. He’s proving to be very scrappy and I’m pulling for him.
First line: I love to see Teuvo there, and while I expected Bertuzzi, people were underrating Mikheyev all off season. Dude is electric and knows how to play with stars.
Second line: I like the guys here but I like Kurashev better at wing. If he can play better as a center, and if we can get enough shots and zone time for Bertuzzi to be effective, this line could be solid.
Third line: Should be an effective shutdown line, I love Anderson here, but I think I’d love Smith here even more with how good he looked preseason.
Fourth line: These guys all looks great preseason, if they all keep it up could be a surprisingly decent line.
Defense looks fine but I wish they didn’t break up Jones and Vlasic. Only thing I can think of is they wanted extra support for Brodie because he looked a little shaky in the preseason
Mikheyev on the top line is interesting, but I thought he looked good in the preseason.
