So sad for Ed, I hope that will not slow him down for the first half of the season (wasn’t it Mo who didn’t start one year at training camp and it was long to come back at full speed ?).
Youngsters are ready and will make some mistakes but at least there will skate and move and be willing to win, not like some vet who have reached their ceiling and, even if they know the game better, shouldn’t start the season. Just give a chance to Nate, ASP, and Buium ! Mazur and Lombardi could be like Kasper, so we don’t need them yet, for me. No room yet !
Wouldn’t it be nice to see ASP and Buium (probably not worse than Al J) play, skate, do some mistakes but improve the D ?
For Cossa, we still have to wait : consistency in GR this year !
I really hope Yzerman (or is it Todd choosing ?) will give them a chance if they perform well enough in the pre seadon and camp.
