  1. they could do what deadmonton did with draisaitl, and threaten to keep him in the NHL if they don't trade him. meaning he'd be gone from their team next season regardless and they might as well get something in return. But I highly doubt they'd do that.
  2. So Glad I got my Horvat jersey already.
  3. for sure. couldn't even cut it in slovakia league http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=255446
  4. he used to play in winnipeg back on the moose, and his girlfriend is from there. the fans remember him and love him, and management most likely sees his potential.
  5. kass and lack going back might be part of it too, if it's Jensen Kass and Lack (and/or richardson) i'd do it. Kane would be taking over the role Kass should be filling anyway, and it would give WD less incentive to give kass some time.
  6. there is no way horvat would be moved for kane. Jensen, yes, shink, absolutely, but horvat? not likely.
  7. it was never a great trade, but a decent one, depending on how bo turned out. NOW it's a good trade, and in the future it may be a great trade, but initially it just seemed like it was an undervalued trade
  8. Maybe he means CT when he says "the whole board". Most of us in the prospects forum were like Bittermellon said: we thought we could have gotten more for schneider (or found it weird that it wasn't lou instead of schneids) but we were optimistic about Bo.
  9. TBH, Bo's line was the 3rd line last game, Kass's line was the 4th and it showed. Bo was charged with going up against the best player in the game and shut him down effectively in the circle and afterwards. Very impressive thing for a Regular NHL'er to do, nevermind a 19 year old rookie.

  11. corsi is merely a comparison of shot attempts, so a quick fleury against your goalie at the beginning of a shift before you get possession, and then a long cycle game in the attacking end with just a single shot attempt would result in a negative corsi for that shift, even though you possessed the puck for the majority of the shift. like you said, there are problems with every stat, especially from a single game sample size, which is why very little should be read into single game advanced stats
  12. so you're saying he'll be in the CHL next season (when he turns 19 this august) but you think he'll be too young for the AHL the year following (when he turns 20 as of august of that year) even though he has to be 20 as of december 31st of that season to be eligible to play in the AHL... Virtanen will not be returned to the WHL for an overage season.
  13. i think he's had at least one before last night...
  14. yeah my opinion of wanting him to stay has only strengthened, not waned.
  15. kesler's rookie year was ho hum: 28GP, 2G, 3A, 5Pts, -2, 16 PIM and he didn't really impress that much.
  16. horvat and kenins look like a match made in heaven. they are really gelling out there.
  17. hmmm, looks like vines work on the board now...
  18. great goal on the 30th, amazing assist last night. he's really rounding into form. i couldn't have gotten my horvat jersey at a better time.
  19. Jake Virtanen ‏@Jake_Virtanen 17h17 hours ago Had a good time delivering some honey combs to the food bank today with @MackShields #payitforward
  20. McNally has had a better season than hutton I'd be more inclined to vote for him, to be honest.
  21. yeah he's not really deserving of it this year.
  22. There are 59 NCAA mens ice hockey teams (similar to the 60 in the CHL), and some divisions are just horrible. he also sits at 14th in Win%
  23. 21st in GAA, tied for 15th in SV%, 7th in wins,
