    Love em all.

    Son of a bee sting!

    If that's the case, I will accept being a dumb idiot (I always suspected). I also commend his commitment to the joke. He played it off as a legit report on the air.

    I don't know man, Dhaliwal was reporting it on the morning show on 650. I think it might actually be legit. Either that, or I'm a dumb idiot. Could be both!

    Edit: Link didn't work the first time around.

    I'm with you. Seems like a perfect opportunity to get him some more NHL experience.

    I was upset that we didn't take Glass, but I spent an hour researching Pettersson afterwards and was happy by the end of it. The draft is such a $&!#show. You just can't make immediate judgments.
  8. Bigturk8
    To be clear, I wasn't suggesting that he was in trouble, but rather that he had the tools to cope with the physical game. The tools in question being elusiveness and resilience.
  9. Bigturk8
    That's pretty much what I was trying to say.

    He got roughed up a bit against LA, but it didn't seem to phase him which is great. He's elusive and is able to avoid big hits for the most part, but he will be targeted. As long as he can keep his head up and avoid the big hits, he'll be fine.

    The Virtanen thread was also moved from the prospect section so it has all of the draft and development talk. Bo got a new thread in the roster section.

    Rathbone looked good tonight. His skating is superb. His edgework by the boards in the offensive zone made a few players look silly.

    I'd be interested in seeing a "2nd line" of Eriksson - Pettersson - Virtanen and a "3rd line" of Leipsic - Sutter - Gagner/Grandlund. Obviously, it would depend on if Pettersson will start as a C, but Eriksson could provide a defensive presence and Virtanen could provide speed and physicality. The Sutter line looks like a decent checking line with he ability to score. There's so many options right now though. I'm excited to see how it pans out.
  14. Bigturk8
    Thank you for the response. I thought, with the amount of players you listed, you were predicting an entire "offensive B line". That's my mistake. Sorry for the confusion.

    I was just asking you're opinion on where Goldobin stands, as he was omitted. Wasn't meant as a slight, I genuinely wanted to know where he stands.
  16. Bigturk8
    I noticed you left Goldobin out of the offensive B line. Just curious if you think his time is up or see him as a 13th forward this year.
  17. Bigturk8
    My understanding was they played most of the season separately and Tavares got most of the tough shut down pairings. I'm sure Barzal will be excellent again this season, but it will definitely be interesting to see how he produces as the primary offensive threat this year.
  18. Bigturk8
    Gotcha. I have a very hard time telling sarcasm on the internet. I appreciate the clarification.
  19. Bigturk8
    I'm not trying to say anything bad about him. I'm just trying to figure out the best way to gauge his status by asking others on this board.
  20. Bigturk8
    Not at all. I'm pretty high on Rathbone. I'm just curious as to how people will judge his abilities based on his unique status. Why do you assume the worst when I made no negative statement? Edit: Apparently you were being sarcastic. I apologize if that was the case.
  21. Bigturk8
    I'm curious, how do we judge him next season. He will be in his D+2 year, but only his freshman year in collage. In contrast, We'll be looking at Tkachuck in his D+1 year as a sophomore. So do we judge based on his Draft year or his status in the NCAA? These situations always frustrate me.
  22. Bigturk8
    Tryamkin has the potential to be what you've described. He's not there yet, so you won't be able to find clips supporting it, but what he did at his age was very promising. Hopefully he comes back and reaches those expectations.
  23. Bigturk8
    To be fair, Foppa was 3 inches shorter than Elias in his draft year and only 5lbs lighter. Peter had a wider frame than Elias. He was stalky. That being said, I think Pettersson will still be exceptional. I don't see him breaking 190lbs, but the Sedins played most of their seasons in the 180's, so it's not a bad thing. He seems to have the skills and IQ to succeed regardless

    What about Juolevi - Stecher?
