If Benson's in the top 6 its with Tage and Tuch. They did well tg last year.

Benson-Cozens-Quinn line was not very good. Peterka-Cozens-Quinn is way better.

Zuckers not really a defensive winger. He's better suited in a more offensive driven role.

Kulich is a big ?????

the one thing that makes me think mcleod is on the wing is the goal for team speed improvement and if you want to dish it across 3 lines

peterka line 1
mcleod line 2
zucker line 3

Perhaps an unpopular opinion but I think Jack Quinn's loss was his biggest issue. He started looking better after the Chosen One returned.

May we pray for his health.

I agree and believe for this coming season, Quinn will scores more goals than Peterka scores (provided both play a full season) and likely the 2nd most on the team.

I can see both scenarios.

Hopefully they figure out the better solution before we do.

reading the comments from adams on krebs does throw a left handed monkey wrench in the equation

7 points in the last 7 games and was plus 3

cozens and quinn played their best hockey of the year IMO during that stretch

Zuckers your 2LW then?

I think its a competition between Zucker and Benson. The spot is there for Benson to take, he needs to display some improvement of last years play. If Benson looks like he's not ready, then Zucker is the safety net. Long shot is Kulich, as he would need to come in and play out of this world to steal the spot. Very long shot is a trade for a player like Farabee.

He did play at the end of the year eh. Good catch, I don't remember him coming back.

one thing on benson

we do not know how he , or others for that matter will respond to ruff

I think that aside from tage, dahlin and tuch, everyone else can work their way up or down the roster

With his demand?

Peterka Cozens Quinn...I like it a lot lot lot.

Benson at 1LW? Why not? Right now in July I like this better than Zucker in that spot.

That's an excellent point.

For this teams personalities and dynamics, which players do think might be doghouse candidates? Peterka comes to mind, but I have nothing to base that on.

I see cozens, samuelsson and benson as guys that are going to drive ruff nuts

power as well

Tage

He would have been a legendary sitarist to have played it 300 years before it was invented
- Jet Jaguar BD

Suck it, Beady

the previous two seasons? Summer 22 was figuring out 'who he had' and player development. Summer of 23 was, right or wrong, running it back thinking they'd be fine with the additions of Levi, Clifton and EJ, which holy (frank).

Well I mean it was objectively wrong

He's going to be really hard on Cozens bc Cozens can and should be better defensively. I think Ruff can take him to another level as a 2-way center.

Peterka will probably see some time on the 4th line occasionally with Bensonsons or Zucker replacing him

That's an excellent point.

Definitely.

How many games will be needed to properly assess which players can adapt/thrive under Ruff?
