I wonder if Halliday will challenge Kastelic for that 4th line centre spot at training camp? Halliday would make that position more offensive while Katelic is more of a defensive forward.
Which 4th line would you prefer?
Ostapchuk - Halliday - Sokolov
Kachouk - Kastelic - Kelly/MacEwan
I want my 4th line to be able to bring energy , be able to check, and defend.
I would like to see Ostapchuk get a good crack at making the roster somewhere. A little more time in the AHL won't hurt him.
Halliday and Sokolov ... Do not have the speed to play an energy role, check effectively and neither are very good defensively at this point ..
I am going Katchouk - Kastelic - Kelly. They can do those things at a respectable level.
If they are bringing in some more vets .. I wouldn't mind a 4th line C... but I want him to be better than Kastelic.. not just a more experienced player.
MacKewen would be 13th forward ... Still don't like the 3 years., With a vet 4C I would have Kastelic as 13th and move on from MacKewen
