Roles reversed in net as Bishop backs up Vasilevkiy this year. The goalies didn't re-rate as high as I had hoped but are ok with that. The D is maybe a touch above average. We don't have a true #1 Dman, so we're hoping for a collective effort from the group. No issues with the forward group so we hope they can find some chemistry and come together to win us some games. Quite a few names on the roster this year and we're excited to see how they perform.

We're pretty sure this will be very close to our opening day roster. After debating on whether to trade Benn for assets and bring back Marleau or keep Benn, we're pretty sure the aging wonder will walk and we're hoping Benn can find the form he had in the sim 2 years ago.

We had a pretty decent offer on Matthews but I think we'll end up keeping him in the ECHL to offset the salary raises he and Laine will eventually receive and instead introduce him to the league next year.
