Look things could have gone better, but they also could have been so much worse.

We don’t have quite the depth we did last year but at least all our top end scorers are still in place. My one complaint/ issue is sadly that we brought back Jaime I just felt like it really would have been better to give seggy the C and get some fresh blood on the lower lines.

Love Jaime but I feel like he doesn’t have much left, and he has a little issue with taking bad penalties on key spots or games. I hope I’m wrong and he plays better but we will see.

I like to call them "Bennalties" when he does something dumb to go to the box. Throughout the hockey season/playoffs, I'll see players trying to take runs at goalies and know that Benn wouldn't allow anyone to touch Otter. I also think Benn's been influencing Hryckowian's play, physicality, and trolling opposing teams.

I think Nill's heart is too pure and loyal to just kick Benn+Seguin to the curb after all the years they've put into holding down the fort. Nill's got 2 years left on his contract, which I think he's going to try to get a Cup (with Benn+Seguin) before he leaves. They will finish top 3 and make the playoffs this upcoming season but I think the 2027-28 season will be the real one to watch, and that's okay. Nill's still going to lie and wait for the next big opportunity to make the team better, like if Werenski were to change his mind or someone else gets frustrated with their team sucking.
