Opening Night Roster

Guttman will be the 3C, Dickinson the 4C, and either Macker or Katchoik scratched. Rest looks about right

Last night Zaitsev was easily the worst player on a team of mostly prospects trying to make the NHL. He needs to get waived and sent down. It's just bad.

Boris likely sits.

I didn't mind KK's game at all, but ultimately I do think he's proven that another year in Seattle would be good for him. Vlasic and Kaiser have played better imo. I can 100% see KK's offensive talents and his vision to find open guys is incredible. Work on the 2-way game.

KK has won me over, honestly, and I have been very outspoken about him going back to junior. I think he can hold his own defensively in the NHL. BUT, as a 7th overall pick with the kind of upside he has, we need him to come in and be, not just good, but DOMINANT. Offense was NEVER a worry with him, we can't be hypnotized by expected goals and all that. Go get bigger and focus on some other aspects of your game in junior. I'm pretty sure he will still get some regular season games before being sent down, though.

Pickles should be on the same pairing with Seth Jones. Been impressed by his decision making a play in the d end. Kaiser becoming a Keith 2.0 w-use be amazing tho
