Am i missing something here or this an absolute fleecing… Stephens is a good prospect (Ex WJs) and had 8 pts in 4 ahl games last year… for a 6th? Yzerman has naked photos of Brisebois for sure

What a game gaudette, virtanen and roussel!

FiRe TrAvIs GrEeN...

Lol 9 pages of comments and no one has made any jokes about Miller not connecting on either of the goals where he had wide open swipes to bury them.

Didnt know you could set basketball picks w/o interference...

Wow, WTF was St. Louis thinking...

SiGn HiM Jb!¡!

I believe it is confirmed that we have an alternate jersey coming out (that isn’t the skate jersey) too right? I wonder if it could be the blue jersey with the white stick in rink as the logo? Or maybe a green jersey? Could anyone do a mock up of that?

Our lord and saviour Fred!

Great assist Gadjo

The guy is po’d. He does get hit pretty clean at the end though.

Casey or bust... http://m.torontosun.com/2017/05/30/choose-your-own-adventure-for-nhl-prospect-casey-mittelstadt-the-risk-was-worth-the-reward

I hope Villardi's memorial cup appearance makes Dallas or Colorado take him and Mittlestadt drop to us. Mittlestadt is our best chance to land a #1 playmaking C imo.

San Jose winning the cup and giving us their first was always a longshot but I expected them to atleast beat the oilers

If we win either pick 1 or 2 in the lottery I hope we expose Sutter in the expansion draft. It would be nice to shed his salary and open a spot for Patrick or Hischier. The only problem I see would be our lack of PK guys. I doubt JB does it anyways.

I would convert him back to Center to center Boeser. If he were drafted anywhere else I think he would have played center, but with Eichel and O'Reilly there was no point of making him the 3rd line center. I think he could be the first line playmaking Center we so badly want, i just don't think Buffalo would make the deal without our first this year.

I really don't think we can go wrong picking any of the top 6 centers or Liljegren. As long as we draft top 7 and don't keep winning there's a good chance we can develop one of the guys to be a 1A/1B with Horvat. Patrick and Hischier will probably have much quicker results than the others but: Mittlestadt- Putting up better numbers than Boeser did in the USHL and seems like a dynamic offensive guy. He would probably take the more offensive role and Horvat's line would be 1B like Keslers 2011. Villardi- Has a really similar game to Horvat and we'd be following the Boston model with 2 2-way centers that can put up points and play well defensively. Pettersson- Not getting enough hype. Putting up the same numbers as Dahlen with a year less development. Has high offensive upside and would also look good as the offensive point getter in front of Bo. Necas- my least favourite of the group but no doubt has high offensive potential. Mckenzie has called him a top 2 offensive center which again would pair up well with Bo. If all are gone draft the best D on the board and trade Tanev + for reinhart or draft the best center with our high pick in 2018.

Was really hoping he'd wear 61, 6 is such a defenseman nunber. But just happy to have the kid signed and playing!

Drilled the crossbar shorthanded

Adding to my above point, Riley Tufte was a high profile player who went back to US highschool hockey last year after starting the season in the USHL. His offensive numbers arent as good as middlestadt but his development just went off the rails. He was a first rounder who doesnt have a single point through 14 games in the NCAA so far this season.... http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=181784

I was very high on Middlestadt but I don't understand why he went back to US high school hockey. He was doing very well as a 17 year old in the USHL, I don't get what more you can accomplish in high school hockey playing against kids who arent going anywhere. Maybe good for us if we end up picking in the 7-10 range as he might still be there but I feel like its going to end up hurting his stock.

I'm surprised no one has posted this today yet. Had a snipe. I'm glad he's getting his confidence back. When he comes back up I hope he plays left wing where he seems much more comfortable getting that shot off. He looks like he's playing for the hitmen again.

I just associate it with (a) training camp high number that isn't even a cool high number, and (b) ex derek dorsett number... haha... I mean if he likes it then fair enough but i'm sure he'd rather have #2 his Nodak number or 77 which was the number he wore for the Vees when i used to watch him (way cooler high number).
