Hopefully not a lot Ranger fans in our barn tonight.

Perhaps not, but I find it interesting that the Pens have Letang and now Karlsson. I view them as kind of a 1a and 1b. We now have our 1a and 1b locked-up for a long time!

Bedard's linemate Taylor Hall may be out injured....didn't see what happened though

SMH - the question I wonder about now is what other kind of "unqualified" hiring will Pegula make now? Maybe he'll opt to put his daughter in the job....if you can't trust family, who can you trust? 😉

He must be Granato's secret son.

Too much passing, not enough shooting.

Well.....at least the team won't go into the regular season with a "cocky" attitude.

This team needs Benson on the opening day roster...he's a catalyst who makes his linemates better.

IMHO - Levi needed more games in pre-season. They already know what they have in Comrie and UPL, but Levi needed more action to be ready for the season.

Dumb question - if a team claims Nylander, can they assign him to their minor league without clearing waivers again and/or are they obligated to keep him on their big club?

Anybody else feel like Benson is our best forward tonight?

For those of us who don't get MSG, is there a streaming option out there?

Before the camp, I would have said Kulich, but now I lean toward Rosen. For some reason I thought his game looked more rounded.

IDK - no doubt he is a very talented kid with lots of potential. He seems a little too "hot dog" IMHO and I'm not sure he's highly regarded by other players.

Not necessarily, I am just saying that I expect him to stand pat with the current roster vs. acquiring outside talent to replace Quinn (while he is out). I am also saying that if the team falls short on meeting expectations (which should be higher this year), then GMKA is accountable.

"Can" yes....but actually will is doubtful IMHO. GMKA seems content with a "next man up" response vs. some outside options. If goal scoring production drops and goals against does not improve, then he should be held accountable.

Agree with this. My only wish is that we could see NOW what Savoie, Rosen, Kulich, Benson will be 2 years from now....when they should be truly ready for the full rigors of the NHL. They can be a big part of our future success....I just hate that it may still take a year or probably 2 for them to be ready.

White regular road or the white pajamas?

I find this article hilarious on what Buffalo might have done in the 2018 draft it if had a do-over. Terrible assessment. If there was any chance of taking somebody other than Dahlin, I would say Tkachuk, not Svech! https://www.cbssports.com/nhl/news/redrafting-the-2018-nhl-draft-sabres-take-andrei-svechnikov-hurricanes-nab-brady-tkachuk/

Sorry to see him go, seemed like a good locker room guy who would also keep opposing forwards honest.

IMHO - RJ was the GOAT of play by play....RIP

His expectations may not align with the current market. Maybe GMKA can wait him out and get him on a 1 year deal.

I would not mind seeing a UFA added to reinforce the forward lines in Quinn's absence, but for some reason I feel like GMKA will stand pat with the current roster. I hope I'm proven wrong.

Maybe not a "rule", but would love to see the LTIR loophole modified so that teams can't just stack their teams for the playoffs.

Wondering how much Matt Murray wants to actually play vs. going along with this charade.
