[QUOTE="Joel Goodson, post: 1416392, member: 10432"] Season opener. Probably going to be a development year, but maybe not. Lots of high-end D prospects in the pipeline. Anyway, my take on this season's squad: Forwards: Debrincat and Schmaltz now have more experience and have looked better than last year in the preseason. Kahun looks like a good find. We have replaced older, ineffective players like Sharp and Bouma with younger players who can all skate well. Players like Kampf, Hayden, etc. now have another year of experience. Saad needs a big bounce back season. Defense: We added a lighter Seabrook and a rested Keith. HJ is a talented rookie. Forsling should take the next step along with Murphy. Gus is fine as a number 6d. Rutta is healthy again after showing promise in his rookie NHL season. Goalie: This is the real question mark, is Crow going to stay healthy? Can Ward still play? Will Forsberg take the next step. We have a new PP system that should be more effective. No one is or should be denying that there are question marks but dismissing the young talent is foolish. Murphy and Anisimov will get moved at the deadline. Can they get Stone? (move Saad) [/QUOTE]
