nice

Watching both interviews with Kravtsov and Shesty, I find it interesting how happy and relaxed both appear. It should be difficult and intimidating to be in a foreign country far from home, speaking English no less ---- and yet look at how they are smiling and joking with the reporters. I hope that I am impressed with their play on the ice as much as I was with their interviews!

LGR!

I'd be more worried about moose and squirrel showing up

Joe Thornton signed back in San Jose for 2 mil

leaves them with bout 2 mil in space

Marleau is not going back there

I think we all kind of figured Thornton would be back there. Probable third line center behind Couture and Hertl

In the running, along with Tim Hunter, for ugliest player of all time.
Loved the way he played the game, though!!

Not to mention that Gardiner is about the biggest pylon playing the game today.

I wonder if they have another move coming, or they are just preparing early for Faulk walking after season

No Kakko today, out with illness. Blog updated with that info and line combinations.

Or Hamilton, again....Would be interesting if they kept all six, defense would be fairly impressive.

Jaccob Slavin-Dougie Hamilton
Jake Gardiner-Justin Faulk
Trevor van Riemsdyk-Brett Pesce
with Gustav Forsling and Haydn Fleury as backups.

That may be the thing though. They might feel that they can cover up him being a pylon and just have him run power play and otherwise shelter his minutes.
