  1. Ouch didnt know that. Feel like a fool now. Not the first or last time though.
  2. I watched the whole thing and then realized that was THE Marc Savard He has gained few pounds rather quickly
  3. What would you be ready to give up to get rid of Eriksson? 2nd and Dipietro? Bennings house would burn if he gave up pieces just to get rid of him.
  4. Some highlights from penguin's fans: "Pearson isn't a bad player and Gudbranson is way worse than a bad player. This is horrendous for the Penguins. This is probably the worst deal a Penguins GM has made in the last 10 years." "This has been the most disheartening 3 days in Pens history that I can remember." "This and JJ are the worst deals made in the Sid Era. Absolutely amazing." "I literally can't find any good in this trade." Source: hfboards Im enjoying myself
  5. If I remember correctly Benning actually said that Beagle would take majority of the defensive load from Sutter so he could take more offensive role this season. Eriksson Sutter Petterson as a second line wouldnt be too bad for Elias I think... Sutt and Loui would cover mistakes he WILL make. I think the shutdown line will be something like Roussel Beagle Virtanen.
  6. Question for those who have seen Quinn play a lot: Who do you think is the best player comparison for him in the NHL in terms of playing style? Gostisbehere?
  7. Yeah I sometimes tend to overreact Gonna be great game to finally see both Petterson and Juolevi in mens national game.
  8. Edit: nvm Olli was slotted in.
  9. Bourdon? My guess is #38. Tells something of this season when Gaudettes playing number is the most exciting thing.
  10. The real question is... Which number will he wear?
  11. I was at the game last night. Whole team was bad but gotta say that Juolevi didnt stand out positive way either. Bad giveaways and passes straight to opposite. Its been rough for him lately. Bostons latest 1st round pick Vaakanainen on the other hand dominated the game.. one of the better skaters ive ever seen.
  12. He was interviewed after second period in finnish television and he was asked about his goal and he said with all smiles that its big relief to get monkey off his back. So he knows he has offensive game in him and was disappointed he was unlucky before in this tournament.
  13. He looks like total professional among kids. Finlands steadiest blueliner in this tournament.
  14. No place for him in u20 squad. Anyone know why? Isn't he eligible? 5 goals in last years tournament.
  15. Its today reported in finnish press that our coach is considering picking Juolevi for the olympic team if he plays well. He says its a longshot but the national team lacks good puckmoving defenders since NHL players wont participate.
  16. Just to make sure to everyone: Salo isnt the head coach of TPS he was merely a volunteer assistant coach during the summer and now he is part of the coaching group but his specific job isnt yet confirmed. Saku Koivu is responsible of TPS youth development.
  17. Petterson and Nylander arent similar players. Better comparison would be Petterson - Backström. Backström scored about 0.5ppg in SHL in his draft year. Petterson point per game in allsvenskan + over 1ppg in playoffs. Thats somewhat similar production since allsvenskan isnt that big of drop from SHL. D+1 year in SHL will tell us more when Backström scored almost ppg. And my point is that Backström is twice the player that Nylander will ever be.
  18. Its couraging to see Viktor Arvidssons succes in Nashville right now because they have lot in common with skill/size. Dahlen even had slightly better junior career but next couple years in SHL/AHL will tell us more. I cant stress enough the fact that Allsvenskan really isnt just some farm league to SHL because SHL is open league and their last placed teams play not to drop to allsvenskan every year and allsvenskans best teams can climb to SHL so there is really healthy competition every year. Its widely argued that Allsvenskan is almost on the same level as Finlands top league from where one Sebastian Aho made the jump this year. So point per game is really hard there to achieve.
  19. Any Colorado fans here? How Will Butcher is not yet signed? Remember this guy couple years back at WJC on team USA. Was real standout and looked like the real deal and has continued to impress in NCAA. Totally forgot this guy until now. Already played 4 seasons in NCAA so I guess he becomes free agent this summer?
  20. Lol in re-draft Ehlers maybe but no way Nylander. He wouldnt helped us to get playoffs anyway these years and when we are competive Jake has honed his skills and plays in NHL powerforward game. And Nylander will still be perimeter player which he is. So at this point it doesnt even matter if he is in minors and Nylander is not.
  21. Nice thinking Im still happy with him at #6 that speed size and shot rarely come in same right handed package. He just takes longer to "get it" what is it to be pro. Just like Burr said.
  22. Well Suter is consistent 40+ pts player in NHL and has one 50 pts season so far. It would be longshot but man if Juolevi would top somewhere in Suter/Mcdonagh range. That would be steal.
  23. Anyone seen Necas actually play? Honestly dont know anything about the kid and it seems he is ranked everywhere from 20. to top 5. Mittelstadt seems good option at least from what ive read since havent seen him play either. Assuming we pick somewhere 4oa-6oa. And JB has a thing for those NCAA kids.
  24. And his draft +1 year when his goals dropped significanly I think he was switched to RW? I think its obvious to see he would be more of a scoring threat on left wing especially since many of his pro goals still comes from cutting inside from left side even if his position on paper is RW. When playing RW he just seems to shoot wrister from bad angle after coming in zone or go round the net and then throw the puck to goalies pads(actually scored once in NHL that way). From LW he could use his speed and size to cut inside to make the play.
