With the last season's result, the bar's been set pretty low. These guys can only work their way up!

Nice to see the faces that will likely be leading this group to the worst record in the league. On the bright side we have a 1st this year...

Apparently, we'll be falling in love with Zaitsev's game...

Unfortunately, it feels like they're about to make the same mistake with Zaitsev that they made with Ceci... neither is a "shutdown" player. The idea of having good puck-movement on your blueline (i.e. Chabot, Brannstrom, Zaitsev) is so you can quickly and effectively counter-attack... not so you can hide when the other team puts good players on the ice. I'd prefer to see a bit more concern about having an effective PK, and less about branding certain players with an outdated label.

Smith had me at "elite defender".

Seriously. Dude said "elite".

He also said that Zaitsev would cross-check people. Guess he won't be playing PK so much after all.

I don’t like Capuano at all. Better shot of liking the other no names.

Zaitsev interview was cringe worthy.
