  1. This has gotta motivate Hoglander to try some Michigans again!
  2. I think tomorrow I'm just going to make up a name and says he's on waivers and see if anyone catches on!
  3. I think Delia is the new Spencer Martin!!
  4. If we trade Pettersson for Bedard, we might actually be getting a more dominant centre in return. If we trade Hughes for Bedard, our D is complete garbage, with no hope of improvement for the forseeable future.
  5. Bingo...exactly what I was thinking. I think he's confusing his Canucks teams!
  6. I wouldn't argue that Lekkerimaki wasn't highly ranked. What I would point out though, is that Kemmel was usually ranked higher (including in 4/6 of the above rankings). When Allvin had the chance to still grab Kemmel at #15, why did he ever choose Lekkerimaki? My feeling at the time was that it was simply because Lekkerimaki is the Swede. I would hope this wasn't the case, but I can't see any other good reason why he would project Lekkerimaki to be a better player than Kemmel in the long-run. Certainly this hasn't been the case to this point in time.
  7. He was rushed into the NHL, but at least they didn't let him stay too long before sending him back down to the AHL and potentially crushing his confidence. Hopefully this won't be the case with Hoglander.
  8. Skimming through these pages, I haven't seen anybody say that he's a bust, although maybe you could find one or two instances with a more detailed 'skim' (and that doesn't include saying he's been a "bustaroo") What people are saying is that it's concerning how poorly he has played since being drafted, considering how highly-rated he was at the draft. That's just stating fact. And to get defensive about someone saying this means that you are being overly sensitive and probably wearing rose coloured glasses --- which is another fact!
  9. I have a good feeling that he will be called up and finish the season with the big team once they (hopefully) unload guys like Dermott and Stillman for picks at the deadline.
  10. I think Rutherford saying that he's not even looking to trade Miller is just him trying to make the best of a bad situation that he himself created.
  11. Yes, it's OJ 2.0. And the bad news is that the sequels are always worse than the originals!
  12. He doesn't have a NMC until his new contract kicks in next year. The time to move him is now!
  13. Dominating in the World Juniors would be a good indication that he has the potential to dominate in the SEL. Unfortunately, he's not coming anywhere close to that.
  14. Nothing was televised in the first season, although some teams may have had their games available through on-line broadcasts. The good news is that the games are cheap to attend. I went to most of the TSS games in their first season and the tickets were very reasonably priced, as were the hotdogs and beer!
  15. He doesn't hurt us out there. Otherwise, he doesn't stand out. Hopefully he's young enough to still develop into more of contributing member of the forward group.
  16. Phew! That's good to know....not as ineffective as I thought then! But have to say that I really didn't think Bear contibuted anything tonight!
  17. OMG Studnicka actually played tonight? I have to say that I don't remember him out there at all
