I figured it’d be nice to have a place to aggregate the Training Camp information.   I’ll try to keep this first post updated with clips and relevant info so people can easily see the bulk of what’s going on.   Mods, feel free to delete if you have a different idea.   Anyway, Here’s IMac’s interview with Allvin

Contender isn’t a stretch by any means. Number 1 contender, yes maybe we aren’t there yet, but we are damn close.  Personally I am not trying to come across bias in any way, but with a healthy Demko, this team when fully healthy is a top contender. We have how many 20 goal scorers?????? We have Hughes and Hronek who are a top tier pairing, our back end is massive and comes with a lot of shot suppression and physical as hell.     OEL is misconstrued it’s not even funny.  2021-22 look at the first 41GP how the team played and look at Petterssons production then look at the 2nd half.  Vancouver was 7th in the league the last 41GP. That’s when Pettersson finally started to produce.  The defensive metrics of Myers and OEL were top 5 shutdown pair league wide. I could revisit that and show you how bad goaltending in 2022-23 changed everyone’s view, that and OEL was playing through a high ankle sprain. You look at his 2023-24 season right back to his career average (slightly better actually) and playing all important minutes in the SCF. The buyout was trigger happy imho. 

With Evander Kane on the LTIR for the regular season, they need to find replacement to keep up with their scums per 60 stat.
