Ryan Kesler wont be in the opening night lineup? He's going to miss at least half of the season. Maybe even more if he's not done period.

There is actually no report confirming that. At this point no one knows what the status is of Kesler is other than Kesler.

Pretty solid. Pretty close on the Kase contract, too. I'd like to see Eaves on the top line with Kase/Rakell and Getz and Perry on the third, but it will certainly be interesting to see where all the RH shots end up. Also hoping Kesler is ready. I'm not sold on our 4th line center options if he's out. Would love to see Steel kill it in training camp though.
