You'd like you'd run off of the lines they actually run...

Bahl has looked great, but Sieg's is certainly our #1 LHD. Bahl will be 2.5LHD, swapping with Luke depending on who they play and situations.

How has Toffoli looked?

Fantastic with Jack. But so has Mercer, and so has Bratt as always

Meier -- Hischier -- Holtz
Toffoli -- Hughes -- Bratt
Palat -- Haula -- Mercer

...appear to be the top-9 lines thus far.

And I'd say Nosek> Thompson

If you don't look good with Jack, something is wrong. He's going to be on one this year.

And Nosek with Mcleod looked good last night. So did Lazar.
Nate bounces back and forth with someone on line 4.

First call ups are
1. Foote/Clarke





2. Thompson

I think Smith gets waived, sucks he's a good player/coach combo (not player alone, easy! seems to always be teaching young guys)
Miller ends up being the extra because I think Nemec is pushing to well to be left off the roster

Interesting. Some questions:

1. Where will NJ finish in the ranking?

2. What will most likely be the PP?

3. Who is likely to have a breakout year or who will surprise in terms of point production? Who is advantaged by the line combinations?

4. Who is likely to have a bad year in point production?

5. How many games each goalie is likely to play?
