I like the way the camp is being run. Victor Johansson sounds like he has turned a corner with his physical growth.

That’s very fair; I think the team is well positioned to capitalize if something shakes loose, say in November when some teams start to separate themselves from the pack in the wrong direction. The most likely option would be a rather expensive player with a bit of trade control that wants to...

It’s July 3rd and I would’ve been way more upset if Treliving added a lot of free agents, given that the players on the market were collectively both (mostly) expensive and underpowered. Let’s see what other trades materialize (Maccelli, Roy). Rosters are a work in progress until after the...
