Balcers is a great prospect who could be a top line winger. Tierney is a second line center the Sens need right now. Demelo is a legitimate NHL defenseman, which is a lot to say for an Ottawa Senator right now. Norris is a prospect with depth forward upside.

Erik Karlsson is the best defenseman on the planet

I can Invision in my head Bergevins subtle nod of approval as Domi was led off the ice. Character moment or something, not the type of player the team needs but the one he wants.

I think the Canucks are going to be that one team that is probably going to suck but they're not a team to write off.

So they'll be the 3rd worst Canadian team after the Habs and Sens.

Man I don't get it, the Habs are actually winning their preseason games and scoring goals. They couldn't even do that the last couple preseasons like at all. It could even be one of those actual lineup versus prospects game and they'd still be like :shrug: and get shutout like 3-0.

the canucks are definitely worse than the habs and are probably worse than the sens. vancouver's best player is bo horvat and he's a glorified third liner. sven baertschi is going to be leaned on hard to be a productive top line player. chris tierny would instantly be one of vancouver's best forwards

boeser and petterson will probably be great but they have a long way to go

The ads in the corners of the ice are incredibly distracting, its less of an issue at center ice when there aren't 4-5 player scrums where the puck gets lost, but it just looks awful in the corners.

Performance in preseason hockey might be the least relevant in predicting actual regular season success of all major sports. So definitely get excited for the Habs this season. They're going to be great!

Schultz did score 48 points in those 34 games (although Eberle and hall were there too) . Sami niku is the only other rookie to win the ahl defense of the year and he scored 54 in 76.
