It's sad that the lineup is so predictable.

I hear you! Our management and coaching staff always say there are roster spots open, and we are a hard working team. Then you see the vets dog it on the ice in preseason. They are not in shape, and look horrible. Kids that look fantastic and easily outplay the vets get sent down.
Only thing I can add to this is it is preseason hockey. Just ask yourself, which players have been the best so far? Bennett, Gaudreau, Granlund? Out of all players these three all belong on the team based on performance. We will be lucky if one makes the team!
