that bottom 6 is scary
Potentially ya, I mean Kunitz leave a hole but his offence is potentially replaceable. Its the 3C position that leaves the biggest ?s
I’m in agreement with Jeff, but I also want to see what McKegg with the third leg can do. I highly doubt he’ll be the solution there, but I’m curious to see if he’ll take advantage of this opportunity. We’re still going to get a 3c at some point before the deadline. I just hope with his speed, he can provide a bit of production and some possession from the 4th line when it happens.
If they add a Sheahan type and with Hornqvist returning it actually dont look too bad. Consider that Reese and/or Sprong is likely to be on board by December… may not be so bad at all
