Let's start with that hockey fan 87 who asks, with Beniers, Stevenson, Catton, and Wright all healthy, how do you envision the top six centers being used? Is there a clear number one?
That is the million-dollar question.
He's the two-way center who can play in any situation.
But Chandler Stevenson brings that veteran leadership and power play expertise.
The coaching staff has a luxury problem here.
And then you have the young guns.
Well, we talked about his 30-goal potential before.
How do they fit together without clogging the middle?
They don't all play together.
That's the key.
You're looking at Benny Urson-Stevenson as your likely top-line duo or heavy-minute eaters, with Catton and Wright providing the speed and offensive burst on the second line.
The rest of the group, Frederick Gaudreau, Bobby McMahon, Logan Morrison, they're there to win face-offs and kill penalties.
So, it's not about who scores the most.
It's about who fits the matchup.
That makes sense.
Next up, Sarah from Everett asks, The goalie situation feels unresolved.
This is the classic Eisman dilemma.
On paper, Joey Deckard has the experience and the track record.
He's been the starter.
If he's healthy and sharp in camp, he brings a different level of netminding.
