Thankfully this one is broadcast on Sportsnet 1 so I get to watch. Schueneman - Wideman Might be a preview of our third pairing D to start the season so I can’t wait to watch them. Can’t wait to watch Heineman too

Thanks friend for the comments. I kind of forget about Matheson because I’m so focused and excited about the youngsters. Our D might not be a total tire fire this year after all. Especially if Edmundson is not hurt long term

I will greatly miss John Lu I wasn’t able to watch. Any opinions on: - sounds like Slaf struggled? -did Harris look great? -how did Guhle do? -Dach look good? -Messar at centre?

So our choices now are either Sportsnet $200 or centre ice $250? The cheap $50 French stream is no longer available? I need to figure this out soon. I figured preseason games would be free to watch but nadda

Why not? I can’t see a world where HuGo spend assets to trade for a Dman and if nothing is available via waivers then Xhekaj could fill that Edmundson hole - short term.

Beck is getting a very deserved opportunity tonight. Guhle and Harris are going to be our best D pair I bet. Slaf and Dach are interesting

I’ve been thinking that Xhekaj might be a short term replacement for Edmundson. Xhekaj needs refinement to his game and I worry that speedy forwards will burn him outside but if we can’t find a suitable waiver pick up he would provide savage physicality and a decent point shot. He isn’t just a meathead, he has some decent tools

I hope both Slafkovsky and Mesar are playing. I’m excited to see how they do

I love what they are doing

Slaf’s passing skills are elite and he has outstanding puck possession skills. He can skate through defenders while protecting the puck - with ease. I think he needs a sniper on his line and I think Suzuki is the perfect centre for him because Suzuki has a broad base of skills. He is outstanding at adapting to the play. Im pumped for Slafkovsky

Wooot to training camp. It’s almost hockey time 🥳

We certainly aren’t tanking. If we finish last again it’s because we genuinely stink or even that our D stinks soooo much. Im thinking we finish 20th OA or so

I can’t see the Habs trading for an Edmundson replacement unless his season is over. “indefinitely” can mean a lot of things. I bet first choice is to fill it via waivers. It’s also possible that a team hits a major injury and that opens the door for a deal that includes a Dman.

That’s unfortunate about Price but we are not paying a huge amount to get rid of him. Maybe they revisit the idea during the last year. What a headache

I guess the other option is to pay Arizona to take his contract. Weber really didn’t cost that much to dump. That 10.5 cap is a headache even if we use LTIR like you pointed out so ideally Price agrees to a contract trade and it doesn’t cost us too much. I might consider Florida’s pick
