  1. That could be why NYI gave up Bert in the Linden deal, they may have though Bert's development was going too slow. His SH% is 16% right now - if he keeps that up he'll have a great year down there.
  2. Oh it gets worse, when the carpet starts matching the drapes.
  3. C'mon Chip, we're all friends here. Not one???
  4. I suppose that's always the worry with college guys. He'd have to stay at UND for 2 more years and pull a Vessey. If thats what he is, I say good riddance, but all signs point to him not being 'that guy' whatsoever.
  5. Thats about how long it would take for the TO fans to dump on him.
  6. So park that ego in front of the net. He's a 20 year old millionaire and a lot of it has come easy. Of course he's got an ego. But now he's in a position where he really has to earn it. I think he'll come out a better player and person from Utica.
  7. As long as you bump Bogosian down a bit But yah somewhere in there. I think the bigger question is how much term he wants, and if he actually wants to be here. He's not an offer sheet risk so I think something will get done but he may also want to be moved depending on how he sees the prime of his career going. I can see Jimbo wanting Guddy as a Bieksa-type leader of the D group, so I wouldn't be surprised to see something like 25 mil over 5 years being offered. I don't think he's getting that anywhere else.

    When Juolevi shows up and starts playing well - hopefully next season - that's going to turn the tide of a lot of people's thoughts on Benning.

    In fairness, its not like we're going to see Mitch Marner do a Tie Domi impression anytime soon. Some guys just don't have the physical edge.
  10. True but #3 overall pick. Ouch.
  11. Not freaking out, its just weird. If it was Chaput I wouldn't care but Jake could be having an impact by now. My worry is its all mental for Jake. I just hope he's not the next Cam Barker.
  12. So you mean all Jake needs is this?
  13. Someone help me out here. He couldn't stay in Utica, because, you know, "stuff". He can't play here, even though he showed a good game in Utica and a good practice. Q's: Is Benning looking to trade him? Is this a battle between Willie and Benning? Willie can't send him down but as a coach he doesn't have to play him either. Is Jake just not a bright kid? Or does he know he has Benning in his corner? Whats the right way to understand the situation? I don't recall this at all and its shaping up to be Hodson-esque if it doesn't get resolved soon.
  14. I bet if/when someone stats a trade Tryamkin thread CDC will explode... but you know Alf, come to think of it, Tryamkin's trade value has never been higher

    For sure, he's also on a workout program that the Canucks gave him so that's probably talking some of his energy too. I like that the assists are still there with a new group of forwards, we need a playmaker on D.

    Nice to see OJs off to a solid start. http://londonknights.com/players/7109
  17. Kanes not being charged criminally with the latest bar thing, and his other troubles are in civil not criminal court. Hows that for pumping a guys tires
  18. Maybe not if Stecher can fire up the offence on the D. It could still tip toward some more wins than losses.
  19. Yah, but I like seeing Edler-Stecher so there's that. Every game brings Stecher closer to the regular lineup for next season.
  20. Yup. I do think we have 2/3 of the new top line. Bo with Boeser? Yikes. Now all we need is another "B" for the 1LW spot. It will be our version of the killer b's Its a bit early to look at the next draft, but I like the problem of finding a 1LW vs a 1C.

    Sorry Deb, but @oldnews likes to belittle others and it gets frustrating. I'll be good. 

  22. We don't know they've even asked him. Can't fault a guy for sticking to the contact JB gave him. The way Sbisa's been playing so far its going to be hard for him to get in though.
