What happened: Bobby McMann enters camp with long-term security in Seattle after years battling for roster spots. The undrafted winger moves into his next chapter following June's contract extension.

Why it matters: Botterill cited McMann as an early fit for Lane Lambert's aggressive style after June's roster reshaping. He skated with Chandler Stephenson and Jordan Eberle in the September 22 camp group, a week out from the opener.

What to watch: Watch whether that Stephenson-Eberle combination holds through the final preseason games into the opener.
