Not much of a game, but Edvinsson looks really solid defensively. 

He's looked pretty good...

Zadina has looked awful.  Slow to process the game and getting man handled physically.  Not that he's alone there... this team needs to add some tough, defensively capable players or we're going nowhere.

The good news is I believe we have 3 capable defensemen in Seider, Edvindson, and Walman.  And we SHOULD have Johansson and Wallinder at capable status by the 2024-25 season.  We need Lindstrom to take a step forward next year, or he needs to be replaced.  But Im feeling pretty good about our backend.  Now for the bad news.  We only have (4) good forwards in Larkin, Raymond, Kasper, and Rasmussen.  The rest of our lineup REALLY sucks.  Copp, Perron, Kubalik, Zadina, Veleno, Fabbri, etc - they all skate too slowly, dont win puck battles, and dont bring ONE OZ of toughness to the rink.  Not saying we need to chop them all, but we have to start playing players that can skate and tilt the ice the other way.  So going into next year, Im hoping for one more bad season to have a decent 2024 TDL and get a decent 2024 2st rounder.  Trading Perron, Kubalik, Husso, and Chiarot at the deadline should net us at least one more 1st and one more 2nd.

For 2024-25 Opening Night:

Kasper - Larkin - Raymond

Berggren - 2023 1st - Mazur

2023 1st - Copp - Rasmussen

Foligno - Veleno - Soderblom

Walman - Seider

Edvinsson - 2024 1st

Johansson - Lindstrom

Wallinder

Cossa

2024 UFA

Copp and Perron don't bring toughness? Which team are you watching?
