We'll know more when Karlsson returns. Currently Graves is with St Ivany and that's probably where he belongs.

What is Aho, left or right defense? I see he shoots left, but he's paired with Pettersson.

Aho can play either side and said he's actually more comfortable on the right.

Thanks. I think we can assume the pairings will go:

Grzelcyk-Letang
Pettersson-Karlsson
Graves-Aho

Ludvig, Shea, and St Ivany being 7-8-9. Assuming Karlsson returns before anyone else gets injured. Damn, we're old.

Would expect us to use a pick we acquired this offseason to unload Graves next summer. Obviously has time to turn it around, but he's probably been the most disappointing signing we've had in quite some time.

Like NFL, preseason means nothing besides the fringe guys. Get everyone else through training camp/preseason healthy.

Why do you have StI behind Aho, Lud, and Shea???

It cost a second to move Hayes who makes slightly less and seems decent if overpriced. What pick do you think it will take to move Graves with 4 years left?

Age and waiver exempt.

Based on Sullivan's way of thinking. Has nothing to do with talent level, potential or anything that may make this team better.

Damn we're old? Only one of those guys is over 35 and only one other is over 30.

Letang - 37
EK - 34
Grzelcyk - 30
Graves - 29
Pettersen- 28
Aho - 28
Shea - 27
St. Ivany - 25
Ludvig - 24

EDIT: and the two oldest are capable of logging 25+ mins a game

I can't fault your logic, but it does seem like St. Ivany will be the exception.
