Get the bugs out now, instead of in game 1.
That was GG's mistake last year. Mixed the lines, and brought the real team together essentially going into the first game that actually mattered.
This year he can start to beat the system into the regulars again before the dance starts, get them playing the last few exhibition games with their game one roster, give or take a prospect. I imagine they'll be prepared when it matters. I don't expect that tonight, but I damn well expect the in Calgary roster to give a hard push back on this Oilers roster.
