  1. He loves Miller, kid looks up to him, Miller is wearing on Podz so perfectly.. Podz follows him knowing he’ll get the puck.. give /go/ give.
  2. I’d like to see us package Boeser with Martin for a High 1st rounder, after the lottery is drawn. Lots of decent Teams need a good goalie prospect.. and Boeser will be happier close to home (Min).
  3. I don’t think it’s Hate , as much as it’s disappointing.. Boeser is relentlessly given every opportunity to get it together, and isn’t.. Podz or Lamikko should be used in his place on the pp. it’s only fair.
  4. I think we’re in a good position going into the 3rd,. We’re motivated to score,. they’ll be motivated not to make mistakes. kind of like that 3 goal lead being the worst
  5. Let’s give Klimovich a few games,. I think he’ll play and look better at the NHL Level than he does at the AHL Level.
  6. I feel exactly the same VC, I wonder if his dad is doing ok, and if his mind is eleswhere, .. Minnesota, New Jersey? might be the next stop.. probably have to sign him first and have a pre set agreement. personally, it might be something he might look forward to.
  7. Paterson doing what he does best .. I swear he’s the bastard child of Captain Obvious and Debby Downer.
  8. Ceiling is a myth . Historically there have been draft picks deep in rounds that have performed so much better than any “projected ceiling”. Opportunity can bring out the best in any player, take them to any projected ceiling, and beyond. I stand by my comment of hopefully seeing Lockwood play with Petey in the future. There might be some Chemistry there that brings out the very best of both players.
  9. Yes, Lockwood is a solid summer of training away from this league.. his anticipation and tenacity might be a good pairing with Petey some day soon .
  10. Garrett is always 2 weeks, 5 miles, and periscope view away from what happens in the play… can we trade him?
  11. Whoa! is that not a complete turn for you? I think you had promoted the idea of Drury giving away 3-4 players of future promise out of NY for Miller? Miller is great!! But I’ve never over rated his value here,. and IF he is signed with us , I be highly surprised if his contract isn’t discussed thoroughly for both parties to have options with. A player like Miller , is what a Team creates its nucleus from, even if his numbers from this season decline,. His type of play and leadership moves and influences other teammates,. That is what helps create Team Identity, and that is what this team is mimicking from Miller. Had we started with Boudreau this season,. We wouldn’t even be thinking or talkin about this player like this.. we would be above the Wild Card conversations and possibly made 1 more key move at the TDL. but we aren’t , and we haven’t . I’m looking forward to next season as I’m looking forward to all games remaining. Hope to see Miller signed to an extension that works for all this Summer,. We’ll find out early enough to realize what happens, when it happens.
  12. Careful with @Alflives, You want to look him in the eyes,. … but really you should checking out his foot wear ..
  13. I think it’s time to part with Brock, Try to land that young Thompson kid from Buffalo.. or something.
  14. I think for further conversations in this thread, a 1st round pick should be referred to as: a possible lucky star, and any prospect be referred to as: a probable lucky charm. only fair since we are truly dealing with the unknown, hoping to get a fairy tale ending in any return for Miller. Miller of course may begin to decline a bit over the next 4-5 years.. but from the point he’s at, that not too shabby. And if we continue to build a better team with him here, which we will do, he should continue to do well, if he stays. I just don’t see any other real leader on this club if he were to be taken off this roster tomorrow. Reality vs Fantasy ( NHL Draft) , it’s kind of like gambling.
