Coleman, Zary, Solo, Huska
Huska with several interesting tidbits:
- Expects Backlund, and Pospisil to be at the top of fitness testing
Centers:
- 3 legit Centers : Kadri, Backlund, Rooney
- Not yet established: Sharangovich, Zary, Pospisil
- Pushing for spots: Schwindt, Bishop
Goaltending:
- All guys will get the opportunity to grab the #1 role
- Sounds like Vladar is penciled in to get the first shot at the job, with Wolf, and Cooley pushing.
- There will be more opportunities to steal the net this year by playing well vs just having Markstrom get back in the net
- Vladar is fully recovered from surgery has been on the ice with LaBarbera for the last couple of weeks.
Defense:
- Felt they needed to get bigger back there.
- Want to keep players away from Wolf's sight lines and away from the front of the net
- It's great having a young guy like Bahl that they can work with and grow his game
- Pairings in pencil:
Weegar - Miromanov
Bahl - Andersson
