Kubalik will be lucky to score 10 goals this year. He’s got no one to get him the puck.

Debrincat will be able to consistently deliver, but there is not another player on this roster that is a sure thing with Dach out. DeBrincat? Consistent?! And I think you forgot Kubalik. When he's not scoring goals, he can also play semi-decent defence. DeMidget is hot and cold, and when he's cold, he's useless.

Personally I think Debrincat had his "first big contract tough season" last year and that he will be back to scoring enough goals to help the team.
Kubalik may well be, but I'm assuming this year will be his sophomore come to Jesus, especially without #s 19 and 20 on his line all season. The jury is still out on him. Bring #19 back and I think Kubalik would be added to the "value" category.

You have to change things up for game 2 against the Panthers.
I know it's a tank season, but losing twice to these turds is unacceptable.
I assume Subban starts, and that's his second chance and I'm fine with that. But the top six needs to be shuffled. Kubalik is being wasted. Put him with Kane. Doesn't even matter who plays center. Somebody who can defend. BFF's Strome & DeMidget can play together. Janmark in there for some grit and winning pedigree.
Kubalik - Wallmark - Kane DeBrincat - Strome - Janmark
Bottom six is what it is. But Pious is a good player. He can lead a line.
Kurashev??? - Suter - Shaw Highmore - Kampf - Carpenter
Pirri is the only taxi replacement for Kurashev, so maybe just leave Kurashev there until Soderberg is available.
I don't know about the D. Murphy and Mitchell have looked ok. Keith is not himself yet. DeHaan is mediocre. Boqvist sucks. Zadorov is hard to say. I think you run the same defense. But Lucas Carlsson is an option. He could play instead of Boqvist one game. Maybe not just now because Boqvist has to be given a chance to rebound.
Get that first goal and try and kill penalties. And block a shit ton of shots, because Mal Subban is unlikely to steal a game.
