  1. Heads up, If you are still looking for NHL talent to fill out your roster, Make sure you check out our Free Agency List! (<--- Click here for LINK) There are still a few NHL guys available to sign there.
  2. Bo is definitely more seasoned and experienced. I wish him well if he is our Captain! He showed in pre-season why he is a leader and how he can lead by example. I was impressed thoroughly.
  3. Ffs. I just called him up in my fantasy league. Heal faster Motter!
  4. You are getting younger and deeper! I love it. Good off season ThatMike.
  5. It seems like they are purging any of the "we accept losing culture". Anyone who was here during the losing phase that didn't have that burning desire to win has been removed. The other player that remotely resembles that passive mindset that remains is Jake and Loui. Hopefully the moving on Granlund, Hutton, Baer, and Goldie will show him its time. Hell even Biega who gave it his all got the boot.
  6. I just want to see Green yell to the team... IF your not on the PP!! your f@#%ing killing penalties! That would make my day.
  7. Have to wait until around 9am PST for that. Sometimes takes until 9:15am. :D unless there are leaks!
  8. I loved their presentation!!! A 1000 pc panoramic puzzle! lol. In all seriousness tho. Love the work you put into roster presentation.
  9. RECALL: Columbus recalls Defenseman Andrew Peeke and Forward Tyler Motte from the Cleveland Monsters. Dillon Dube is starting off in the AHL after all! Only makes my decision making easier.
  10. I really like the if your not on the PP, your killing penalties mentality from a coach. This gives every player a specific area of their game to focus on. When you are on the PK you think defense first. Which is going to help our goal totals drop and it will give more defined roles. Those guys are gonna bounce on any opportunity to score lol. I wouldn't be surprised if we see our bottom 6 jump up with scoring chances when the opportunity arises ie odd man rushes/breakaways. The best thing about this type of deployment... is no one player gets too wore out. It balances ice time and keeps every player engaged. I'm not sure if Gaudette will kill penalties or play on the PP. He may be the rare exception to start the year. He could easily replace Myers on unit 2 tho if we need a different look. PP / Lines 1-2 Ferland Pettersson Boeser Horvat Miller Leivo Pearson???? Possibly? PK / Lines 3-4 Beagle Schaller Motte Sutter Pearson (good pk'er) Eriksson Roussell etc I hope we give our bigger minute D a break on the PK as well. Or at the very least... let Hughes and Tanev be our first fresh D pair out there after a successful PK. That should help turn the momentum back in our favor or at least neutral with some instant offensive zone time. Pearson is the only forward I can see playing both PP and PK. I suppose Miller is an option but I would rather keep him focused on the PP. It sounds from what Jim said that is Travis' plan! Which is fantastic!
  11. When it comes to the playoffs I'd rather have Pearson over Baer. NHL playoff xp, size, grit. Playoff scoring. We are a more playoff like team now. Need size and skill to win. We got both
  12. As the great Jared McCann once said... It is what it is.
  13. True agony indeed! Is that how it works tho? essentially if your on the roster still you likely start there? Barring no big trades?
  14. I guess it's safe to say any prospect still on an nhl roster may start there? Am I feeling those vibes right? If so I may make some additional call ups before the season starts. Let me see what all happens tomorrow on the trade front. could have two rookies in the lineup!
  15. If you place an 82 OA in the AHL for a post-season run. Would it negatively impact their growth? My NHL club looks like it might miss the playoffs and my ahl squad is close to making it in. If I send him and my other eligible guys will it hurt their growth?
  16. There is a video of Jim talking to the media on FB. Do we have that link here?
  17. I asked this in the waiver thread but it might be easier to get an answer here. Does anyone know the waiver priority list for this coming season? which teams who can get a crack at these guys first?
  18. Does anyone know the waiver priority for this coming season? Which teams would get the first few cracks at Baer? I don't see him getting past EDM if he gets that far.
  19. To me.. maybe I'm reading into it to much. Maybe that is more of a statement to Loui Eriksson. Like.. you are an extra, your on the bubble with the kid who barely made the team. Get your head on straight!
