    But Megan Turner, can’t you see that I love them?

    Alex Carpenter and Hilary Knight’s production has dipped from last season, with the latter missing several weeks on long-term injured reserve after winning gold at the 2026 Milan Olympics. Cayla Barnes and Anna Wilgren were one of Montreal’s top defense pairs last season, but are among Seattle’s underperformers.

    In many ways, Seattle’s issues are a bit more clearly defined than Vancouver’s. The team is pretty top-heavy with just modest contributions from depth forwards, such as Mikyla Grant-Mentis and Lexie Adzija. And given the roster construction, if star players are even slightly off their game – or out of the lineup entirely – it’s going to hurt the mix.
