  1. This could go down as the worst draft pick since Patrick White. Not a good 1st draft for the new management
  2. Those 3 are having pretty good seasons in their respective leagues leading into the tournament. Most fans understand that one tournament does not make or break a prospect but Lekkerimaki has had a horrendous season leading into the tournament and isn't just underwhelming but is actually being benched by his coach for his underwhelming play. It's not freaking out it's mainly just pointing out the obvious, once the excuses for play start coming out it's usually not a good sign for being an NHL player. See Juolevi and Virtanen.
  3. Definitely like the compete level of this kid. With his physicality I can see a potential bottom pairing NHL player. Long way to go with his skating and decision making with the puck but seems like a good solid reliable defender
  4. Unfortunately it didn't take to long for this kid to be trending towards bust. Everyone was hoping he'd show up playing against his peers to erase some fears after his horrible season in Sweden so far. Not only is he not producing he's getting benched. Hard to see much of a future with this kid. Not a good start for the new management group
  5. Pod has looked nervous and often makes a poor play or bad read. The answee isnt giving him more playing time. The answer is bringing him along slowly to learn the speed of the game and build his confidence
  6. Been using for for 3ish years now streaming from the app on my phone through Chromecast. Has always been worth it to get excellent quality on the big screen tv. This year it's been almost unwatchable. Constant buffering. Had to switch to "other sources" to watch the game against Philly. Will be cancelling soon if doesn't fix itself
  7. Chaisson if he makes the team Got a feeling Miller might be the guy if things don't go well this year
  8. Does Petan Kill penalties? I'm just looking at this lineup and wondering who's going to kill penalties. Dickenson for sure. Does the coach trust Lockwood?
  9. I think it's just Podz personality and we are seeing why he didn't get playing time in the KHL. He plays much too reserved and timid while he is getting used to the speed of the game. I think he'll get there but it's going to take some time for him to gain his confidence and pick up his pace. Eventually in every league or tournament he's been in he produces but he just seems like a cautious player that need time to adjust
  10. Without any compensation if Eichels neck is hooped and he never plays again? I don't know, I'd need to educate myself more of Eichels condition and the chance he returns to full health
  11. As it stands I would say the trade is basically a wash as Eichel and Dahlin a superior players (Dahlin not so much but his draft position and potential gives him an edge) but the fact that Eichel might not play at all this year brings the trade back to a wash. Vancouver would need to be compensated if Eichel has long term complications. For every year Eichel plays less than 10 games Vancouver gets their unprotected 1st for up to 4 years. So if Eichel doesn't play Vancouver trades Petey for 4 unprotected 1st. Would be a $&!# trade for Vancouver as we are not in a position of needed 4 1st round picks we need a 1st line center but at least we would get compensated and might be worth the risk of possibly getting a healthy Eichel.
  12. Excited to see what him and Lockwood can do against actual NHL competition
  13. He played solid, I was impressed by his mobility. Unfortunately Calgary iced such a $&!# roster there wasn't much of a chance to see how he defends against quality NHL players to get a gauge on where he is at. Hopefully they give him a chance to play against better competition as we have a glaring hole on the right side with the potential of Hamonic not playing.
