Holland needs to try and get a draft pick or something back for Benson. He needs to clear waivers. So, if he doesn't make the team he'll likely be lost for nothing. Honestly, I don’t think benson showed me enough that I would be concerned to be honest. I don’t know that he is close to NHL caliber.

I agree, but I'd rather try to get even a 4th for him if possible if he's never gonna make the team.

I'd love to get an asset for him, but I think there's a 50/50 chance that he clears before the season starts. The cap is tough, and rosters are pretty full.

After considering KH's early statement of wanting to aquire another depth RD, it will be interesting to see how many PTO invitees are extended to possible UFAs or if he waits for waiver cutdowns as a possible answer. For some unexplainable or unknown reason, I am less worried about goaltending and more nervous how our D performs this season. I just can't convince myself our D has improved from last season. That will be my focus, not forward lines or goaltending, when camp opens.

Lots to follow in camp for sure...
Our entire left side of forwards other then Nuge will be new. Hyman, RNH, Foegele, Perlini (possibly Benson).
In the middle we'll have new faces at 3 and 4 C with Ryan and ?? McLeod/Holloway?
Our right side should see all familiar returning faces. Biggest question for me on this side is Kassian, for 3.2mil/per year we need to see more from him in some form or fashion be it being more of a physical presence or offensive production, or both, need more. I'd like to see the pre-contract Zack again. Family life has him all tamed down now, lol. I'm sure KY will be signed. Very happy to see Archie back, love his game. I don't see room for Marody here or at C.
Wondering where Shore fits into our line-up if at all, recently re-signed in June leads me to think mgmt has a plan for him? Turris is another question mark.
Then we have our defense. Lots going on. We know what we are getting in Nurse (I'm ecstatic to have him signed long term woohoo) but after him things get interesting. We sort of know what we are getting in Barrie but his defensive side is a slight concern. Ceci coming from the East is fairly unfamiliar to most of us other then highlights and we're hoping he can fill the hole Larsson left (I didn't want to see him go, wish him well with the Kraken) or even exceed expectations. Keith is coming in with a 'Got something to prove' attitude so I'm interested to see how the 38 yr old body can keep up. Fresh new start may be just what the doc ordered for him. Then we have Russell paired most likely with Bouchard whom we are all obviously stoked for, that young man's time has come! Russell takes a lot of abuse from fans, much less these days actually as his contract now is proper value for dollars lol. I actually feel pretty comfortable with the Vet paired up with the Rook as our 3rd pairing though. Lags/KoKo/Sammy competing for 7D spot?
Goaltending... no changes here. Fingers crossed.
All in all, a bunch of changes and a bunch to follow. For better or for worse our team got a pretty heavy makeover this summer and I'm excited to see it all play out on the ice!

He's signed to a AHL only contract with the Condors.

Apparently Kassian was hurt and playing with injuries last season and is coming to camp in shape and motivated to put up better numbers this year. That's what we want to here!
