  1. Everyone needs to calm down with the hype on Podkolzin. You need to temper expectations, otherwise you will be disappointed. I've been following this team long enough to remember watching tape on guys like Shirokov, Jensen, etc. and this board thinking they are going to immediately be impact players. Benning is not a fool and will not part with a proven entity (like Boeser or Virtanen) for an unproven rookie. Podkolzin will have to show his worth during camp just like everyone else.
  2. We have a roster full of young players and management needs to set the precedent: You have to earn your contract. Give BB a bridge deal, 3 years at 6 mill per.
  3. #10 - #20 pretty much have the same chances at making it. Hopefully Benning trades down and gets an impact player in return.
  4. Gaunce and Kenins just got sent down to Utica. &^@# you Lindenning.
  5. GMJB does it again! Baertschi looking great so far with the Comets (5G 5A in 9GP). Can anyone comment on how he is being used? 1st line? 1st PP unit? Any PK time? Thanks!
  6. Gaunce is definitely bigger than Horvat. Taller than him and has a wider frame.
  7. I really hope Gaunce can make the team this year as a 4C. He has more offensive upside than Richardson, and already has a big frame. Plus he could come in handy on the 2nd PP unit and during shootouts. What concerns me is his point totals haven't risen since we drafted him. I know he played on a good team this year, we he seeing 2C or 3C duty?
  8. This guy has ZERO NHL experience. How is this a good move for us right now?
  9. I don't think this is a fair comparison. I'm sure over this time-frame that Nashville had alot higher picks than Boston did.
  10. Problem with this comparison is that you are comparing OHL numbers to WHL numbers. The leagues are completely different. I think it's easier for him to dominate smaller, skilled players in the OHL. Whereas WHL teams tend to load up on alot of guys who are 6 foot plus.
  11. Still boggles my mind Benn was picked in the 5th round. What was the knock on him again?
  12. You pretty much nailed it with this post, well said. Hope all fans can read this post before deciding how they feel about this move.
  13. I have a feeling that's how Trev will want it structured.
  14. Lucic in his best year only put up 60 points. I think with Kassian we are looking at a guy in the 40-50 point range. Reason being, he is an inconsistent player, and he will most likely miss 5-10 games per season due to suspension. He is now a repeat offender in the league, don't be surprised if his next suspension is 10 games.
  15. What scares me the most is that when Gillis first got here he kept stating how good of a franchise Detroit was and how he wants to copy it. After the SCF loss he stated he wanted to follow the Boston system. Now he is looking at the Ducks system???? I don't know about you guys, but I want management that is setting trends in this league, not following them.
