Why Not

Hey, I’m here for it. Except I don’t want Chinny on the fourth line. That’s not his game…send him to CLE. Danforth plays a strong game for a B6 guy, and has had a good pre-season.

And my god if we are scratching Bean considering his cap hit 🤦‍♂️. I’d rather just trade him.

A rotation of bean and blanks wouldn’t be terrible.
Also chinakhov has played great in camp. I think he might beat out one of the big guys like Gus or his countryman in krill. If this isn’t a hot streak, he’s game for a big year.

How has Marchenko looked in pre-season?

A little lost, tbh. The potential is obvious, but I wonder if he starts in Cleveland for a little seasoning (and also because Chinakhov has popped off with four goals so far).

from the little of Marchenko we've seen it's promising. He's not gonna be kickin it from the start, but his shot and hands are there, he just has to adjust to the game over here. Half the moves he's done he gets the puck around them and just bumps into the defender and nothing comes of it. But it looks promising
