Thanks for the kind words, Pat. They have been unsuccessful trying to deal Lecavalier and Luke Schenn, but something could develop in the next few days. I think someone will have interest in Schenn as a third-pairing guy. As for the preseason, tough to get a handle since they have played so many "B" teams. I see them as a middle-of-the-pack team, at best.

I agree that they are not a Cup contender, but I wouldn't call them awful. The D has improved because of Medvedev, and Neuvirth makes the backup goaltending behind Mason even stronger. I think they will be a competitive team, one that will get a jolt of energy if Ghost is recalled (as I think he will) at some point during the season.

The system isn't that different than Chief's, though there have been some minor changes in the neutral zone. The biggest difference I see is that Hakstol wants his D-men to be more offensive-minded. If they struggle with consistency, I think it will be because of their mediocre talent, not because of their system.
