1) I'm late to the party, so it actually started yesterday, but what I wanted to see before it started and what I want to see now is still the same thing; wins. Ottawa has a strong core and we are confident we can take it all this season. Obviously, that 0-2-0 in the first sim was disappointing, after that strong offseason, but we are now back on track at 2-2-0 after 2 dominant wins in back to back games versus the Wild.
2) I'd say the guy that's the most underrated on this squad is my fellow d-man Gregor Rasputinov. He's sitting at #3 on the positional depth chart, right behind Baxter and myself, but he's got what it takes to play top minutes. Look for him to score a lot from that 2nd pair!
3) Our GM set us some roles right after the draft and, for the most part, they are still holding. He set Baxter, Rasputinov and I in a 3-man rotation for 1st pair and 2nd pair of defense, with added time on PP and/or PK for everyone of us, which makes a lot of sense, really. On offense, one move I'm aware of involved Matthews passing James, as he himself suggested, seeing how Matthews put a lot of work in. That was pretty humble of James!
4) We actually got ourselves a Discord server set up and it's been fairly active so far. We are doing good on that.
5) Community is great, but it's at its best on the Discord server. Join it ASAP.
6b) I don't think I'll move much. 2 guys right in front of me, @Jubo07 and @Enorama are capping every week and seizing every uncapped TPE opportunities available, so I'm not passing them unless they go inactive. Current #1 is pretty far ahead if me. That being said, I don't intend on going inactive either, so I should stay put at 4th.
