  1. Burke was being a hater. I don't want to hear about US college players possibly not signing. Talk about his qualities ffs
  2. well every team has at least 1 participant. It will likely be him or Bo or both
  3. With his hockey IQ, that's a no. The coaching staff needs to find a role for him that he can be successful at. Just drive the net, crash and bang. He should have limited touches with the puck. He may not be the top 6 power forward we're hoping for but we all know he still has that physical game in him. At least show us that.
  4. I wouldn't bring up Demko. Let him develop in Utica. Our goaltending has been weak but so has our defense, which is probably even worse. It's easy to put the blame on goaltending.
  5. Even Benning was surprised he was still available at 23. In a re-draft today, he's probably in the top 5. God bless Benning
  6. Definitely should be split up at even strength, Green should give it a shot. Might be better for the twins and the team. Not hating on the twins, the fact is that they are 37 now and it's not easy competing against these guys that are in their physical prime.
  7. Ultimately, it was Jake's overaggressiveness that led to the open man. It should never have gotten to that point though, I think the Twins had at least a couple of chances to get that puck out. The Twins and Jake is probably not a match made in heaven. Looks not bad in the offensive zone but defensively could be a nightmare
  8. That's a tough assignment as I don't think he was on the ice. Boeser was still out there after an extended shift.
  9. what do you like about his game? I haven't paid attention to him.

    If there's ever a taker, trade him
  11. Possibly the dynamic offensive player we need?
  12. He's more exciting, he loves every pick and player
  13. Just look at what Gillis left us in terms of prospects and what we have now. I think he's done good. He just needs to acquire more picks because he is finding some gems. I doubt Virtanen will ever score as much as Nylander and Ehlers but if he can pot 40+ and be a physical force, I would gladly take that. We still need more grit even if Virtanen makes the team next year. Let's root for the guy instead of complaining about not having someone else.
  14. the depth is just not there, not at the draft and not now. Edler's offensive has disappeared for years. I don't really see a resurgence happening. Hutton is very weak defensively and may provide some offense here and there. I'm doubtful he will become a top 4D. Juolevi is much needed. Of course we could use Tkachuk as well. We need talent everywhere!
  15. Some players are able to make the jump to the NHL quicker, it doesn't automatically make them the better pick. It will take years to see which player will make have the better career and contribute more to teeir organization. It's so easy to look back and say oh we should have drafted so and so. How does drafting Juolevi stall the rebuild? We desperately need D prospects and he is one of the top ranked of his draft class.
  16. there's school for professional sports? like management or drive the zamboni?
  17. Tkachuk would have been nice. He brings some of the nastiness that we lack especially on the left side with Daniel, Sven and Loui. Perhaps, Benning thought he had a good chance in landing Lucic in the free market. In terms of prospects we are thin on both LW and D. On LD, Edler is getting up there in age, has been injury prone and offense has disappeared.Hutton is a question mark right now on whether he can become a top 4. It must have been a tough choice for management.
  18. Terrible timing. Was looking forward to watching him in this tournament. Guess it's time to cheer for the Fins
  19. Is he playing in the world juniors? injured?
  20. oh no we're doomed. Craig Button calls Boeser one of the best players outside in the NHL
  21. If he is rotating on the 4th line then I rather see him getting top minutes in the AHL. He didn't play much last season and he needs to in order to improve. I don't want to see him become a grinder on the 4th line.
  22. Fine. Sedin Sedin Eriksson ----- Sutter Hansen Baer Horvat Virtanen Happy? lol Our second and third line will probably play the same amount of minutes 5v5
  23. Judging by the number of games he plays each season, he stays healthy. I was hoping for Lucic instead due to the nastiness and big bodies in our division. I guess you can't complain too much, he should be able to pot 25+ goals. Sedin Sedin Eriksson Baer Horvat Virtanen ----- Sutter Hansen Perhaps Etem/Burrows fills out the top 9
  24. #2 or #3 D could be way more valuable than a tkachuk. Let's hope he develops into one
  25. Nonis had a pretty good darn 2004 draft. Schneider, Edler and Hansen. Mike Brown has made a decently living in the NHL as well. Edler is one of the biggest steals we've had in the draft.
