Took the boy down to the UC tonight to see Hawks vs Wings

DeBrincat looks like he'll stick...Saad is going to be a beast. Welcome back Brandon!

Caught a bit of it, they looked sharp..especially Saad and Crawford... Down two men and still held off Detroit.

Love seeing Schmaltz center the 2nd line. Had a good night on FOs too.

I'll take a Schmaltz, Kane, Debrincat line. Might get beat up a little on the road though.

Kyle Baun on waivers. That guy never did pan out. Well, that's what happens when you sign undrafteds in high volume.

I know it preseason, but the Red Wings new arena looks awfully empty

Lines to start the season IMO:

1st-Toews/Panik/Saad
2nd- Schmaltz/Kane/Debrincat
3rd- Anisimov/Sharp/Hayden
4th- Kero or Kampf/Hartman/Wingels

A lot of flexibility and depth with these lines. Hayden has looked very good in camp and should get looks in the top 6 at some point. Hartman should not be a 4th line player but who does he bump? Sharp is useless on the 4th line. Hino, Jurco, Bouma, and Dauphin get sent to the AHL or are cut.

A couple other notes-
Debrincat has definitely earned a 9-game start to the season. Everything you read about him finding the soft spots and being a goal scorer has been on display in this camp.

Schmaltz was at a 54 pt pace after he came back from his AHL stint last season. He has been very good with Kane in camp. I would not be surprised if he ends up with a 56-58 pointt season.

Forsberg has looked very good in goal. He is a good player to stream for a start or to scoop up if Crawford gets hurt.

Will anyone be surprised if Tootoo, Bouma, and Wingels make the final roster?

I have no idea about defensive pairings. Ruuta has looked good and should find himself on the roster. Forsling has not progressed and needs more time in the AHL. Franson has looked slow and made some turnovers but has looked decent on the PP and makes enough positive plays to overcome his mistakes. I think these are the dmen pairings to start the season:
Keith, Murphy
Seabrook, Kempny
Franson, Ruuta (I know righty/righty but what is a better alternative?)
Pokka

That's what I got. How say you?

Traded to Montreal (well, their new affiliate in Laval. Newfoundland gets the shaft again) today for uncharacteristically swarthy Norwegian Andreas Martinsen. Like most Norwegian hockey players, he doesn't appear to be very good, but neither was Baun, GIGO.
