Yes, Gadjovich and Lind are both AHL eligible next season.

I like what Gudbranson brings to the table even though the stats don't favor him. But the fact that he can't stay healthy is a big sign to move on. He's only played over 70 games twice in his 7 seasons in the NHL and has never played a full 82 games. Rumors are that he's looking for a 4-5 year deal, it would be concerning if he only managed to play 1 full season out of that. Just not worth it IMO.

Agreed, it would be a tough pill to swallow if we draft Tkachuk and elite offensive talents like Zadina and Svechnikov are still on the board. BPA boys.

Or some of that Marian Hossa skin rash magic.

Not sure where you came up with those numbers, but 2.5 per year for Jake would be a huge overpayment. He's probably worth $1.75 at most at this point and even that's pushing it. Ferkland got a 2 year, $1.77 AAV extension after posting 15 goals and 25 points. Jake is on pace for less than that. My guess is that Jake will get a 2 year extension - similar to Gaunce, likely between 950k-1.3m AAV. Unless of course he lights it up the rest of the season.

Nino Niedereitter is a better example: http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=123014 Both high draft picks, big, power forward type players. Nino didn't start scoring at the NHL level until his draft + 5 season. Draft + 5 for Jake would be next season, hopefully he'll be able to put it all together starting next season. Otherwise, I don't ever see him becoming a top 6 forward.
-
Obviously it's still early and these stats may never translate at the NHL level but Benning has absolutely proven me wrong on this one. I was fully on board the Cody Glass bandwagon.
-
Where did I argue that part? I never mentioned anywhere that the top end wasn't weak. I agree that it was, especially for a top 10. Like I said, pretty decent.
-
Cool man. So do I get a medal for that, or what? EDIT: I was going to add more to my sarcastic comment, but looks like @Diamonds below added in what I was going to say. In addition, it looks like at least 20 of the first rounders are looking to become legit NHLers. Nowhere near as bad as the terrible 2012 draft. Like I said, "pretty decent". Hope I didn't ruin your day with that comment.

Did you lose your wallet?

Hard to blame the criticism of Jake around here, bottom line is that he was drafted 6th overall in a pretty decent draft. He was picked to be a cornerstone piece of the franchise and so far he hasn't delivered. I've had a lot of patience for Jake, but for me, this year was the year to show some progression (to see if he can be a top 6 forward). So far he hasn't progressed and it's hard to see him become more than a third liner at this point. I hope I'm wrong though.

The Post. 7.5/10 Wasn't sure if this was going to bore me since I'm not all into political thrillers, but this one was good. Obviously it headlined Streep, Hanks and Spielberg but I thought the large supporting cast were really noticeable, particularly Bob Odenkirk. Usually things are dramatized in these 'based on a true story' type files, this one is no different, but I thought the film and writing carried itself well. Worth the watch, especially on such an important topic.

Big Little Lies on HBO. Very good show filled with drama, interesting twists and extremely complex characters with an all star cast. I can see why this show won so many Golden Globes. I'd recommend checking it out seeing as it's only an 8 episode season. They've just renewed it for a second season, and I'm looking forward to it.

Nylander over Pettersson? Must be the Buffalo bias.

That sounds like something Botchford or Jeff Paterson would write.
-
He's been dominant on the powerplay, haven't noticed him as much 5 on 5. It seems to be more of a chemistry issue with his line 5 on 5. But it's still early.

General Hockey Questions
pluralsight replied to Where's Wellwood's topic in General Hockey Discussion
Why are the Buffalo Sabres so bad? -
What's funnier was that many were actually choked that the Canucks didn't take Kylington over Boeser, let alone Konecny.
-
I'm not downplaying Mete at all. I'm sure you're right about him and I've heard that he's played well. I'm just saying he has a better chance of making the Habs lineup than Juolevi does at making this team (regardless of how he's played). And remember Stetcher never made our team out of camp last year, despite how well he played.
-
Aside from Weber, the Canucks defense corps is better than what the Habs have. Even Juolevi played lights out this pre-season, I doubt he would have made the team either way.
-
Accidentally ended up in the first page of this thread. Can't even imagine what CDC would be thinking now if we had actually taken Kylington, Merkley or even Konecny.

While I agree with you that he is still young, but if we expect him to be the top 6 power forward that he was drafted to become, he needs to make strides offensively this season. He's in his 3rd year of pro hockey, the point where most scorers break out (whether that be in the NHL or AHL). If he spends most of the season in the AHL, I expect him to score at least 20 goals, and if he doesn't he will likely cap out at Jannik Hansen potential (and there's nothing wrong with that).
