They aren’t carrying a taxi squad in the NHL this season are they? 

No taxi squad this year which is why I feel like we should carry 23, the issue is fitting those 23 players under the cap along with Gardiner being on LTIR.

Sure we could always call someone up from Chicago but carrying 23 makes it easier.

Definitely don’t think Marty is going anywhere and I’d be surprised if Stepan isn’t on the roster but you never know I guess.

Definitely interested in seeing how Jarvis and Drury look. Still thinking Drury makes the club and Jarvis will get a look for 2 weeks or however long they are allowed before the first year of his ELC is burned. But seems like he is making it a tough decision for them.

One thing is for sure - Jarvis can definitely generate some dangerous offensive chances.

Was this game on broadcast or was it just radio? I’ll have to see if I can find it.

It was on Bally Sports. Much better than watching the Lightning feed the other night.

Caught some highlights, looks like good things, things to work on, rooks are pulling their weight. 1 week and 1 day until regular season! 
 

For the majority of this season I think it’s prudent to do a single games thread, as the NBA forum does. Or perhaps monthly games thread so things don’t get completely lost.

Jarvis and Drury both look like players. And Cole looks like he's playing regular season already, the way he's was hitting guys last night.

Svech and Aho both had opportunities in the 3-on-3 OT to win last night and fumbled badly. Tripp and company were talking about how hard Svech worked in the off-season and how he was in camp early, but I don't think he looked good at all last night. He whiffed a couple shots, missed passes off his stick and his puck handling looked pretty rusty.

[Rocky Davis]

The team looked a little off in general with their passing, but I chalk it up to them still being in preseason mode.

Jarvis and Drury both look to be on an upwards trend.  I don't think they spend one of Jarvis's ELC years this year, but I think he'll see 9-10 games.  Drury might make the big club.

I noticed Bear really trying to force some passes that weren't there, we need to calm him down and let him know he doesn't have to try to do too much.

I think Svech also needs to relax and just play his game, it's like he's gripping his stick a little too tight since he signed that extension.

Final roster moves being made.

 

 

Current Roster

Forward (15): Svech, Aho, Necas, KK, Trocheck, Turbo, Nino, Staal, Fast, Marty, Stepan, Lorentz, Jarvis, Drury, Rees

Defense (7): Slavin, Pesce, Skjei, TDA, Bear, Cole, Smith

Goalie (2): Andersen, Raanta

At least one more must go.

God damn I am ready for some hockey.

Same, hopefully the Canes can cure me from the life that is being a Panthers fan.
