  1. Exciting prospect but I’ll temper my expectations on him. We all remember the hype surrounding Cole Cassels…
  2. This is what happens when an Indy Car driver challenges a hockey player to a fight… We’ve all seen Indy Car drivers try to “fight”
  3. He’s got that Brock Boeser cloned in a lab look in his eyes…
  4. One of the key areas I was hoping they were gonna target along with another top 4 D and a third line center. I wonder if the uncertainty surrounding Pearson has handcuffed them right now.
  5. Adin Hill played 27 games during the regular season and looked fresh in every series. Not that Demko will play that little but I think there’s something to be said about a goalie playing less than 60. I think that’s what they need to aim for this season. No way Martin can handle the other 25 or so.
  6. Seattles defense is pretty average. They had success by outscoring their weak defensive system. Grubauer suffered the same fate under it. I would have been much more comfortable with a vet like Jones backing up. I think they’re taking a real risk of having to overplay Demko again.
  7. Maybe not but throwing Silovs into the fire or hoping Martin can regain some sort of NHL form isn’t a great plan A IMO. Silovs might be the guy but I’d rather see him get lots of games in Abby to start. I also don’t have much faith in Martin anymore. I think he went on a run of Hamburglar proportions and that’s it.
  8. He probably did. Crossed some boundaries according to the team though, which is why he was suspended.
  9. Well gonna have to make a trade now then. Going with Martin or Silovs as your plan A will blow up in their faces guaranteed.
  10. Let’s just say it involved a girlfriend and another teammate… But that’s all I’m gonna say!
  11. No, let’s just say he got too involved in his personal life.
  12. An ex-Rocket teammate of his told me a story about Cal and his dad when he was coaching him. My guess would be Cal doesn’t want his dad coaching him let’s just say.
  13. Comtois assuming he’s cleared. Toews…
  14. But he isn’t 6’4” and physical! Only way you can be a “legit” number 1.
  15. You acquire draft capital to help fill out your roster as much as you use it to draft players. No team builds 100% through the draft. So Hronek deal was bad cause it doesn’t make us a contender? That’s such a silly statement. So basically if we can’t build a contender with one player, every trade would be pointless no? Building a contender is a puzzle that you add to every season. You’re not getting there without a proper top 4 and Hronek defintely helps accomplish that. Also he’s an RFA after this season so the team maintains control. Saying he has an expiring contract makes it sound like he’s gonna walk.
  16. Definitely. He’ll get to develop some off ice chemistry with Willander too whos also going to BU. And of course it doesn’t hurt to have your superstar brother to play with!
  17. I mean just because his brother projects to be a star doesn’t mean he will be but man what an awesome guy to get in the 6th round. Going to a great program and comes from an awesome sports family. I take a chance on a player like that all day long!
  18. A team with negative cap space, limited assets, and two anchor contracts not only managed to add an 11 million dollar superstar, they actually came out of it with extra cap space… Theres no excuse for other teams to not get deals done.
  19. Only would have wanted him at around 1 mil on a show me deal. At 4 mil no chance!
