Nice article J. I would enjoy seeing that kind of scoring come from L2 but I’m still nervous about Fabbri making a whole season healthy. I’m not sold on fabbri.

Fabbri - 13
Suter - 9
Zadina - 18

P.S. Fun fact. Guess who led the team in goals last year? Hint, many of you said he was Abdelkader 2.0 and only on the team because Yzerman seemed to like him for some odd reason. Answer: Adam Erne. Not many people supported signing Erne. But I did. So before you accuse me of being too negative, just remember that...

Well if I were making decisions, the lines would be...
Zadina, Larkin, Vrana
Bert, Suter, Fabbri

..,trying to tap into past chemistry.

That being said,

Zadina 9
Fabbri. 11
Suter 9

Fabbri misses 18 games

I am the biggest amongst the “Abdelkader 2.0”. I’ve had to own that he had a very good season. I’m hoping he can have another decent run. I don’t think you’re too negative on these. Fabbri, injuries are such a factor. Suter, I think he’ll do more than that but he’s downgrading his wings big time. We see eye to eye on Zadina.

I agree on at least attempting to find chemistry. There is no reason to have these set in stone. I’m definitely hoping for more, but each player would have to have a near career year to do so. I don’t think you’re off the map at all. I’m really pushing on the optimistic side (most likely to my detriment). Just hoping we get an 82 game season

That’s fair, more than fair. I think building in a number of missed games with Fabbri, Dekeyser, is just going off of past history. So few players make 82 games anyway. Just hoping Bert and Larkin get in most of a season

Any chance I finally get to see Seider in the NHL? The kid is a beast on the ice and his SHL numbers are fantastic. Heard nothing but great things about him. I won't be surprised if he challenges for a top 4 spot by the seasons end.

Most of us are penciling him in as a D pair with Leddy. Unless he struggles mightily I expect him in the lineup opening night.
