Training camp is now well underway. It’s always unwise to read too much into line combinations and pairings at this stage, but it’s nevertheless interesting to watch.

Simon Holmstrom has been skating with Zach Parise and Mathew Barzal. Unless Holmstrom blows everyone’s doors off and/or shows incredible chemistry with them, it seems unlikely that he would break camp with the team. But it is something to look out for this season.
