  1. So he’s 25 and already becoming a league heavyweight fighter, with a little extra work on his defensive play and throwing clean body checks on the forecheck it really shouldn’t be a stretch for him to be a 4th line regular. Simplify his game: Chip the puck out and chase it down .
  2. Kassian had a lengthy concussion last season from his fight with Gudbranson , I’m betting he’s going to be out awhile this time. I wish Nurse took the fight with MacEwan instead.
  3. I missed the game, I see the Canucks outshot the Kracken , but did OEL and Myers look more like a top pair than with Poolman ?
  4. I think Tavares is already on the downside of his Career. While Mathews and Marner are a really great tandem the next guy on the depth chart is that flamingo shot blocker Nylander. They are destined to be first round knockouts yet again.
  5. Myers has looked great in preseason, overall I think he’s really underrated.
  6. Upgrade Baumgartner, play a better defensive system modelled after Tampa Bay, current roster will accomplish more.
  7. As memory serves Winnipeg hates him and MacEwan had to fight for him last season.
  8. Bounce back after last game , he didn’t play well against Calgary.
  9. I don’t think he had a very good game last night, I remember him for a giveaway and getting hemmed in his own zone for his whole shift. Needs a bounce back game.
  10. With the likes of Lucic , Gudbranson and Zadorov , add in the big bodychecks Coleman can throw , that weasel Tkachuck is going to be acting like he’s 10 feet tall this year. Big Sutter teams are slow , but they are going to be hard to play against. Washington was intimidating last year with Wilson, Chara, Dillon and Hathaway. The Flames and the Islanders are amoung this years grinders. Schenn and MacEwan need to be in the lineup against the Flames this year to protect Petey and Huggy bear.
  11. There are going to be some rough games against Calgary this season.
  12. Pre season scores don’t really mean much when one team is all prospects and the other is the top line and top pairing. The only forward on Edmonton who is an NHL regular is Kassian tonight ,where as Winnipeg looks like their regular season line up.
  13. And to think Calgary had to give a 1st rounder and 2 second rounders when he requested a trade from the Islanders to a Western Canadian team. We would be incredibly fortunate to get anything for him. I think the Canucks will have to put him on waivers and terminate his contract .
  14. Looks like the goaltending will be split between Halak and Martin
  15. His new contract must be based on how many games he’s projected to play, going forward after this contract I would suggest league minimum and bonuses for playing more than 50 games. If he ever plays 82 games give him 4 million.
  16. This is why I want to see him play along side Hughes again, he gets how to play D.
  17. Now the Eichel / Dahlin for Pettersson / Hughes rumours can gather steam.
  18. Full circle to Toronto, if Arizona retained enough the Leafs would throw a first rounder for sure
