Both line-ups look really talented, but very young. Fasth might also be at least starting the season in Hartford, making the team that much stronger. Defense will continue to be weak. Vernace and Collins are UFAs, and Noreau will take time to adjust. McIlrath is easily more talented and he's taking his time adjusting to the pro game. But if the management brings in a high quality AHL defenseman, this team could contend for the Calder Cup.

You mean Stu Bickel?
I kid, I kid.
Seriously though, Hrivik has not proven anything yet. I don't see him as a top 9. How does he play away from the puck?
And I would rather Fast start in Hartford than play on the 4th line.
I am not sure about MSC starting on the 4th line in Hartford either. Him centering Palmieri and Yogan would be a good combination, I would think.
