[Follow-up tweet from Masters](https://twitter.com/markhmasters/status/1710326108816560135), for those that don’t click the link/can’t see it:
> Fraser Minten, who will play tomorrow in the pre-season finale, and Easton Cowan skated with the earlier Marlie-heavy group
If they start Willy with JT im going to be extremely disappointed and uninterested in the first half of the season.
All these new players and options and back to the same shit.
Early season gut feeling prediction…Woll steals the starting role by the new year
Willy on JT’s wing is kinda how I figured it would end up. Not that Willy didn’t play well at C this pre-season, but I didn’t expect that big of a change. Kinda disappointed, I liked the threat it turned the top 9 into but oh well. It’s a long season, maybe one day
Benoit looked a step behind last night in-person. Suppose he will fit in more as injury replacement
Willy back on the wing here COULD indicate they are leaning towards Minten making the team on opening night and taking that 3rd center spot.
I don’t think Holmberg has centred the 3rd line much at all in camp unless I’m mistaken.
With the way Lily’s been playing, why can’t we see more McCabe – Lily?? Then shelter Klingberg on 3rd pair with Gio.
I think Lafferty should be VERY worried with the cap situation. I also think Holmberg and Jarnkrok could be on the bubble with the way Knies, Minten and Gregor have been playing. If Robertson plays well against the more talented Red Wings group, that’s just one more in the mix.
