Can not remember a guy with so many prime scoring chances and no finish, his shooting % is awful, especially for an offensive player. Just looked at his stats he's shooting at 7% this season, last season he shot at 16%! Smallish sample size in games as he only played 38 games last season but still pretty drastic.

You are correct, I was wrong, I heard what I wrote in an interview, but just looking, realized the cut off is September 15 for NHL draft eligible players. Still though, the hype is real.

The guy is almost young enough to be in this year's draft and he's dominating the SHL, it's hard to not forecast a star NHLer. It is what it is, he's going to be hyped, ain't much you can do about that.

sorry double post

Was he implying he would of selected him 1st overall?

Tank on purpose/rebuilding from scratch is media and fan BS, so many people are use to having a contender here they think making the playoffs is a waste unless you are rolling in with the prez trophy. People talk about the west as if it's impossible to penetrate yet the Wild took the Hawks to the brink last season in the 2nd round. Favorites of course not, but sh#t happens, injuries, upsets, hot streaks, you don't waste seasons in the bottom the league because you think a couple picks are going to guarantee you a cup because they don't you win by making it to the dance as many times as possible.

I can not take MacLean seriously, not to mention the Canucks just got out of Lui deal they are going to jump into a 6 year deal on a old goalie? I like the Miller deal short like 3 years but if they ink him for 6 I am going to puke.

Seems like Boston would prefer to re-sign him... maybe Benning can pry Eriksson from Boston, I'm sure the twins would be pretty happy with that move

Whatever they do they can not go with Lack + Markstrom next season, at the very least get a vet backup that can play 30+. I'm with a lot of people though would prefer Hiller because he's cheaper but maybe Miller has the shorter term so who knows.

Forget Ehroff bring back Sami for one last year

Dude he is ranked 6th by central scouting in North America, it's a bonus that he is a local kid.

The rumor of 6th overall, Shinkaruk, plus Tanev is brutal who made that one up?

Edler has always been inconsistent, one week he'll look good then he's a deer in the headlight for 3 weeks, at 28 years old it's hard to believe that is going to change much. He's probably already told Linden he's not waiving his NTC, last year Murph talked to him about it and Elder's quote was something along the lines of "You don't just sign a 5 year NTC contract just to waive it the first year."

So I guess with Benning as GM Nylander is pretty much out of the question.

I think he gets traded, and it's the best move for the team if he does. People need to stop holding on here, if they don't bring in some younger guys they'll be bottom feeders for a long time. Even without Kesler they still have a chance at grabbing some wildcards over the next couple years before youth movement starts to kick in and if not missing the playoffs for a season or two isn't the worse thing that could happen anyway.
