    Rodin was never likely going to be a long term fit here anyways. With Eriksson and Hansen already here and Virtanen and Boeser coming in the next couple seasons, I don't see a scenario where he's here past next season anyways. What I'm hoping for is that he can boost his value for the second half of the season and maybe fetch us a prospect in return.

    Haha, yea but I understand why he had to at that point. I'm sure the club wanted to announce it themselves. How would that look if he leaked it on live tv just before they had their big press conference?

    They've been lying about his injury since the beginning. Stringing us along saying he's close. How can a player be close for two months? I think they rushed him for training camp and he re-injured himself.
  4. I think it's a no brainer he makes the team. The players I'll be watching closely to make their teams are Lockwood, Brisebois, and McKenzie.
  5. No he's not a first line center. Ceiling is likely a solid 3rd line two way center along the lines of a Bolland. And we won't be drafting Patrick, so people should get that idea out of their heads unless they wanna be disappointed.
  6. My guess is he's gonna be down there for the rest of the season. He needs to gain his confidence back and work on his consistency.
  7. If this franchise ruins the development of another top 10 pick I swear to god...
  8. Juolevi with a huge goal to put the Knights in the lead after they trailed most the game.
  9. If he's putting up points and playing a strong two-way game that's great. I think he'd be more of a long shot if he couldn't play well defensively even if he was putting up huge points. Nice to see a balance.
  10. Tenacious player. Always finishes his check and uses his speed to force turnovers. Probably could have had a couple more points this game.
  11. He actually was in the World Juniors which is why he had over a point per game. That's why I'm surprised he's not picking up more assists this year.
  12. Even still, when his linemates are having 3 and 4 point games you would think he'd be picking up more secondary assists.
  13. Anybody know how many minutes a game Juolevi is getting? I find it surprising that his team consistently puts up 6 or 7 goals and he only ends up with 1 point. Just touching the puck should result in more assists for him no?
  14. Not only does he hit, he hits to hurt. He's taken a couple players out of games so far.

    Didn't they fire their medical staff for that reason? Yet the same thing is happening. Is it the coaches rushing the players back? I swear we have more injury "setbacks" on this team than anywhere.
  16. Hasn't played one regular season game for them. But he's been injured and is in the AHL right now.

    So the only reason Larsen isn't playing is because he's ill? And all this time I thought it was Willie finally gaining some common sense. As for Rodin, another player rushed back by the coaches and trainers. How many times has that happened now? They did the same thing with Tanev.
  18. Boeser is number 16 FYI. That was Shane Gersich that scored that beauty spinorama.
  19. Wow, has this guy been a faceoff beast or what? I didn't realize that was such a strong part of his game.
  20. Who do people think has the best chance of challenging Patrick for number 1? Liljegren?
  21. He should be there the rest of the season and then reassess at next years training camp. He's not going to get anything out of the NHL this year.
  22. Way too early for that. There's college players taken late in the first like Tage Thompson and Trent Frederic that are putting up a point a game or higher. Maybe he moves into the mid second round, but again too early to be making any sort of hindsight guesses like that.
  23. Considering he leads his Michigan team in points and goals I would say he has a very good chance. He also was a point a game in the U18s.
