Tyson Foerster will end up being the sniper we've been looking for ever since '09 when we had Simon Gagne. This kid is only 19 too, so that's saying a lot. I hope he's able to get a full, healthy season in with the Phantoms.

Meltzer says Frost is centering JvR and Farabee this morning.

Conflicting reports from Meltzer/OConnor regarding Giroux-Couturier and either Atkinson or Konecny.

AV mentioned in his press conference that they'd try to keep things together for the first little bit in camp.

We will be really depending on Frost with Hayes out the first couple of weeks of the season.

Looking at our 12 forwards we have ready to go for day 1 i'm not sure we can score enough ,so the new defense and Hart will be relied on to be tons more effective than last season.

Charlie doubling down on TK with G and Coots. Combining the groups to look at the likely NHL-ers, he's got the lines as:

Giroux-Couturier-Konecny
JvR-Frost-Farabee
Lindblom-Brassard-Atkinson
Thompson-Laughton-NAK

Provorov-Ellis
Sanheim-Ristolainen
Yandle-Braun

Still don't understand why players like Thompson are even on this roster as a starter, just taking away valuable learning experience from someone else.

Id prefer to see Lacyznski in that spot. I'd prefer him to NAK too tbh.

I feel your hatred of NAK is still present lol. He didn't really have any worse of a season then anyone else last year. I'd def give him a go and if he isn't playing well then insert the next up and coming guy. AV needs a method to build chemistry, so far his methodology isn't working IMO.

Lol. It is. In my opinion, 85% of 4th liners don't have a huge impact one way or another. 5% or so (mostly the Isles 4th line) have a positive impact at 5 on 5. 5% are good PK-ers. And then there's 5% that find a way to hurt the team in their minimal ice time. NAK is in that 5%. He led the team in PIMs despite being 13th among regular forwards in ATOI (11:10). He had two fighting majors and two roughing calls. The rest were hooking, tripping, holding, etc. that aren't 'sending a message'. And to my memory, most of them were in the offensive zone so it's not like they were taking away a scoring chance.

In 19-20 he played well. Great forechecker, good energy guy, stayed out of the box. Last year he was absolutely a detriment to the team. So if he brings his 19-20 game, I'm good with him in the lineup. If not, send him to the Phantoms or some other team.

Thompson is a guy who will be the 13th man a lot. Rather have a veteran in that spot than someone young.

Depends, a vet is always usually better but, if the young guy brings just as much as the vet in a limited role, I'd rather do the the younger guy eager for growth.

Problem is that a young guy needs to play to develop. #13 forward and #7 dman should be a veteran.

I agree, my only thing is if for example, if Bunnaman is putting up the same numbers, stats as Thompson whilst in the line up, wouldn't Bunnaman be the better choice? Just my opinion I guess,.

We need him to have a good season and looks like Risto may make this team fun to watch again with some heavy hitting that we sorely need.

I saw a picture of Lindblom and he looks cut. Was tied for team lead for goals when he went out, so that can be some needed goal scoring.
