yeah byfield's gonna need to step up big time, but tbh i'm more worried about our dman depth man
byfield taking over is gonna be tough ikr? he's been good but anze was more than just points tbh his faceoff skills and penalty killing were
Byfield is expected to take over as the top center following Anze Kopitar's retirement, lining up with Artemi Panarin and Kevin Fiala on the first line. The 23-year-old has averaged 53 points over the past three seasons and is projected…
honestly byfield will be fine imo, but dman depth hasnt been addressed yet and that's what i'm more worried about tbh
yeah i think byfield's fine but our d has been weak for too long now man @Kings17's on point ngl our main worry should be solidifying that backend

ikr byfield will be a bigger loss than just points man, anze did so much more than score goals ngl the faceoff skills are gonna be huge to replace

totally agree sean_kings, anze's faceoff skills will be a huge void to fill, ikr? honestly i think they should've signed someone like cole caufield or something to take pressure off byfield ngl he's still super young
ngl caufield would've been nice but idk if we had the cap space for him tbh @section7lak, we need to see what's gonna happen with our d before panicking on offense man
@sean_kings said:ngl caufield would've been nice but idk if we had the cap space for him tbh @section7lak, we need to see what's gonna happen with our d before panicking on…
ngl i'm still hoping for a dman pickup before training camp man would love some stability back there
ngl i'm low-key worried about our d too, haven't been impressed with what we've shown in free agency tbh @section7lak

tbh i'm with kings17 on this one, haven't been impressed either with what weve done in free agency so far, feels like a waste of cap space to me imo @section7lak's dman pickup hope might be our best bet man
@sean_kings said:tbh i'm with kings17 on this one, haven't been impressed either with what weve done in free agency so far, feels like a waste of cap space to me imo…
tbh i'm more concerned about who's gonna be playing in front of byfield than trying to sign another offense guy, idk if people realize how exposed our d has been without the big signings
@KingsDiehard said:tbh i agree that our d needs shoring up, been saying it for ages man, but signing another offense guy at this point is just gonna be a waste of cap space imo
idk man, i think signing another offense guy makes sense tbh, our top line needs a legit crease presence and byfield can't win games on his own honestly @nbrennan
