If I'm not mistaken, the coaches get to play more than 20 players in these exhibition games, right?  If so, I look for all the freshies to get some playing time, as well as Soph goalie Hrynkiw.

 

For the forwards, I'm thinking:

 

Gaguila-MacMillan-Parks       (just like last year - should be a dangerous line)

Schmaltz-Pattyn-Johnson       (see what Schmaltz can do for these other guys, who could both have big years)

OD-Gaarder-Poganski            (two seniors with a young power forward, could work)

Chyzk-St.Clair-Olson               (great grinding line, I would think)

Sanderson-Murphy-Simonson-Panzarella  (evaluate where these guys are in their development)

 

 

On defense, I'm guessing they keep Thompson & Stetcher together, and move LaDue up to play with Schmaltz.  Those four should play almost every game this year.  I don't know how you keep Poolman out, but Ausmus is also a guy you expect to see, so I'm thinking those guys might split weekends to start the season.

 

However they line up, the defense should be very good.  Looking forward to a year where the team hopefully does not struggle so much.

I think Poolman plays a lot. He's 6'3 has skill and is mature beyond his years. I think Trevor Olson plays a lot too. They will give him a lot of opportunity. He has maturity and a gritty game.

Pogs will be giving a shot right away. He needs to prove that he can transiton to this level.

It's going to be be an interesting year. Don't hold your breath, just because there are some veteran players on this team that they are going to play. Those players have had their chances. Time for new blood if they don't produce.

If everybody dresses since it is an exhibition I could see something like this:

O'Donnell-MacMillan-Parks

Caggiula-N.Schmaltz-L.Johnson

Pattyn-Gaarder-Olson

Chyzk-St.Clair-Poganski

Sanderson-Simonson-Murphy

 

Thompson-J.Schmaltz

Mattson-LaDue

Ausmus-Stecher

Poolman-Panzarella

 

McIntryre

C.Johnson

Hrynkiw(Maybe gets in late in the 3rd)

Love those lines. Only thing I would see different is poolman would be on that third D pairing.

I don't have any hope for Sanderson. Probably a great kid, not his fault. 

 

Johnny Simo will get a chance. He will have to earn it and be patient, but I think that will come.

 

What are everyones thoughts on Murphy? He seemed like a lost puppy last year in college. Does he surprise us this year? I am not getting my hopes up. I wish him well, though.

I like the forward lines but i could see the 1st and 2nd line switching, if Schmaltz is as good as they say he is the then put him and Cagguila with Mark and OD and Parks with Luke or put Luke on the first line too, cant remember if he centered last year. 3rd and 4th lines look good.

Defence peolple seem to think LaDues going to be on that top line so LaDue with Scmaltz. 2nd line Mattson and switch off between Poolman and Ausmus. The veteran senior Mattson can help out Poolman. The 3rd people liked Thompson and Stetcher last year so keep them together.

Schmaltz-Mark, Luke- Cagguila

OD-Mark, Luke- Parks

Gaarder- Pattyn- Olson

Chyzyk- St.Clair-Poganski

Schmaltz-LaDue

Mattson-Poolman, Ausmus

Stetcher- Thompson

Looks good to me

I think these are pretty spot on all the way through. Lots are speculating LaDue jumping up to play with Schmaltz on that top pair but the way you have it here is the way I see it. This has a lefty/righty combo throughout the D-pairs which I would think is something the coaches would like to keep.

Historically, Hak has had his top two defensive pairs be a senior/sophomore and then a junior/freshman. 

 

Last year? Simmer/Schmaltz; Mattson/Ladue. 

 

I'd expect more of the same.

Heard there is going to be some kind of pre-game party/tail gating type thing starting at 3pm…does anyone have any more details on this ???

I know it's supposed to be out front - live music, beer garden, some food stands including Red Pepper.  Sorry I don't have more details at my fingertips

During last week's Wednesday live chat Schlossman said that Poganski looked pretty good during that day's practice.  I have not heard about the iron man winner but my money is on K. Thompson.

Schlossman said in the Herald chat that they will dress 22(not sure if he meant players or skaters but guessing players) for the exhibition based on that my guess for line combos:

 

Caggiula-Schmaltz-Johnson

OD-MacMillan-Parks

Pattyn-Gaarder-Olson

Simonson-St.Clair-Poganski

 

Thompson-Schmaltz

Mattson-LaDue

Ausmus-Stecher-Poolman

 

McIntyre

C.Johnson

Hrynkiw

 

Scratches: Sanderson, Panzarella, Murphy, Chyzk
