Our start to the season was almost exactly what we expected. We struggled in our first 41 games managing a measly 12 wins (and 6 OT losses).

Below are the current league standings:

*Not sure why there is a dash by Winnipeg for their "streak"?

Boston only has 16 wins, but they're also won 7 of their last 8. I wouldn't count them out just yet with the roster they have.
Florida got off to a very nice start, but they've gone ice cold losing their last 9 straight.

Let's recap some of the moves we have made so far:

Signed Brad Richardson to a 1yr deal for $750,000

Claimed Morgan Geekie off waivers from Seattle (currently our 4th line Centre)

Isaac Ratcliffe traded to Nashville for a 4th round pick
We wanted to make room on our 4th line and didn't want to risk losing him on waivers for nothing.

Yegor Zamula traded to Dallas for Will Butcher
Dallas had Will on their trading block and we wanted to upgrade our bottom D pair

Claimed Fabian Zetterlund off waivers from NJ and waived Brad Richardson.

Some injury news so far:

Cam York hurt his back and missed a few months (back healthy now)

Sean Couturier suffered a setback with his injury (fully recovered now)

Cam Atkinson & Bobby Brink are now listed as day-to-day on the injured list. Hopefully they will be back soon

Felix Sandstrom is back healthy and has had 5 nice starts since returning.

Let's take a look at our forwards stats so far:

We like the performance of our 2nd line with Joel Farabee, Scott Laughton (now our 3rd line C) & Owen Tippett (4 GWG so far).
We were hoping to have Zack MacEwen playing on the 4th line, but too many guys in front of him right now (we might look to just move him).

Now let's take a look at our Dmen stats so far:

Very impressed with Tony DeAngelo so far. Take a look at the game he had back in October (vs the Sharks).

Overall, this is about what we expected from this group. At this point, the most likely trade candidate here is Ivan Provorov.
He "should" have good trade value and will have two years remaining on his contract after this season.

Last (but definitely not least), let's take a look at how Carter Hart is doing:

There was a couple rough games in November, but he has turned it around lately.

Currently we are looking to find a trade partner for a James van Riemsdyk deal, but he might have less value than we expected.
We need to move him sooner than later or risk him getting hurt and not being able to move him.

Also, we will need to make room for Atkinson and Brink, so we will likely trade/waive MacEwen and either Wade Allison or Fabian Zetterlund.

Our next update will likely be at the end of the regular season, unless something major happens between now and then!

Thanks as always for reading and feedback is greatly appreciated!
