Donovan will be interesting to keep an eye on. The one guy that tends to hang out in here that's an Isles fan was upset that they lost him.

I would think so. The addition of O'Reilly and Kane should help (people have said they're both good on the back-end, and I'm pretty sure O'Reilly is praised for it).

Kane got 1:46 SH/TOI per game last year, 1:50 the year prior, O'Reilly basically the same last year though only 1:06 the year prior. 2 solid PKers there.

They did lose Stafford though who was always out on the PK I believe, though his TOI there was way down last year.

I'm not sure how good the rookies will be, or if they are mentioned as "big" defensive types. I would think Reinhart is due to all the "Hockey IQ" talk he always gets.



Edit: just realize I took your post in the opposite direction - you mentioned being better in the offensive zone. Sorry to miss that, but my points are still valid too.

they are good points, And I honestly think that as long the younglings grow, specially when it comes to clearing the zone (one of many many things we were terrible at last year) this year will be even more fun to watch cause we will spend time in the offensive zone... not just dump and chase long enough to get a line change done.

Hard to make this point on a 30th place team but I thought Weber played okay as a 6/7 or whatever they had him at last year.

And I'm not a Weber fan.

It does, but If you have smart minded forwards that can forecheck effectively and cause some obstacles then it makes the defenses job a bit easier, last year when we lost the puck in the offensive zone then we turned around and fell back and just sat in our own end for 5 minutes at a time. I'm hoping with the additions we've made up front and now having 2 pretty solid forward lines that won't be the case.

I noticed that Jerry D'Amigo signed yesterday. I believe that concludes all the RFA signings and general fanager has us with 45 signings. Can't we go to 50?

And Tim Schaller thinks he can make the roster? With the forward log jam I'm not so sure about that.

Good for Tim. Like the attitude.
