Zach Dean

I mean, he showed it in that game.

I know Cascom Caskey Maki scored the goal and I was told because I wasn't there, but I was told that that line of Caskey Maki Dean and Carpenter was their best line on Saturday against Dallas.

And they scored a goal, picked up a couple of points, but Peterson was the one that everybody was talking about because he started a fight and he was physical around the net.

He was a noise maker with his line combination.

And that's crazy to say, because I think everybody would assume it's Stenberg, but you've got different cups for guys.

Like, I think Stenberg is a guy that gets called up if an injury happens in the top six, the middle six.

But I think Peterson and Kaskimaki and Zach Dean are all fighting for that bottom line, that if somebody underperforms or if somebody doesn't play to the style that they want them to, there's a real chance one of those guys gets called up in October and doesn't give up that spot.

Like, I think the pressure now goes on guys like Toropchenko, Nathan Walker, Oscar Sundquist, those are the players that are now looking over their shoulders for a guy like Dylan Peterson because Jim Montgomery obviously loved what he did if they're bringing him to Dallas for the second

It's Kaskamaki.

uh zach dean dylan dubay are all going to be a part of this thing it sounds like jonathan bergeron is going to be like established as a third line piece for them alex i thought it was like seven guys maybe eight guys for two or three spots on the roster how many players are legitimately competing right now for a roster spot in your mind

well uh I think there's more than we originally thought.

The real question is how many can actually make it, and I don't think that's changed because of the waiver situation.

And that's crazy to say, because I think everybody would assume it's Stenberg, but you've got different cups for guys.

Yonatan Bergeron signed a one-year contract extension, as well as a couple other players all signed one-year deals.

Oscar Sundquist, Zach Dean, Dylan Peterson, Georgie Romanov, the goaltender, Dylan Dubé, all signed one-year deals.

And some assistant coach changes as well.

Greg Cronin, Vinny Prospol, and Jeremy Koopal, video coach, We're all brought in as well as who is left.

For me, Tim, the...

Toski Maki looked really good in that game.

Dylan Peterson from a forward standpoint.

So Justin Carbono, Zach Dean, Maddox Desjanais, Jack Finley, Ross Johnston, Kaskamaki, Pekarcik, Peterson, Suter Stansel.

Stenberg, and Toropchenko.

That's your forward group.
