My last post was meant for this quote. Lol. Beautiful facility
-
Wow what a dump. Better get him out of there stat. Lol. Could his success and development this year have anything to do with being in North Dakota? Hmmm. Maybe hey.

And most of those guys struggled allot in the first couple years and probably could have benefited from another year or so in college imo. Turris didn't exactly burst onto the scene for example. He's actually a good example of a guy that was rushed. Leddy same thing. Kesler , well most of us remember how painful his development was to watch at times, and lots painted him as a bust early on because of it. Thankfully he managed to come around. Ur examples actually drive my point through even further. Look at a guy like Oshi. They took their time with him, and when he finally went pro, he stuck at the NHL level and sure as hell made a bigger impact in his career then a guy like turis bouncing around from AHL to NHL (with very little success). Especially early on using a guy like Kyle Turris as an example of development success was probably not a good idea.

Just take a look at North Dakota history. Even just that one school , how many guys u see spent less then two years there that are successful ? Not one. What does that tell you? U say it's not an absolute , but boeser is that one guy out of all those players that our coach and GM should rush to the AHL? Seriously ? What is every coach and GM an idiot and u have the antidote ? Seems like the guys I mentioned developed just fine in the NCAA with multiple years, and if worked for guys like toews Oshi and parise why would anyone rush to get brock out of there. The game has changed so much that we should erase what has worked for almost every successful player coming out of the NCAA? I don't follow

The sooner the better is not true. The odd time it is , but often it's not. Proof ? TJ Oshi - three years North Dakota Matt Green- three years North Dakota Drew Stafford- three years North Dakota Jonathan Toews-two years North Dakota Zack parise- two years North Dakota Brock Nelson- two years North Dakota Travis Zajac- two years North Dakota and this is just a quick glance at North Dakota alumni now playing in the NHL. Not one of them spent less then two seasons in the NCAA playing for the exact same team as boeser. Even Canucks alumni Dixon ward and Gary vaulk that played for North Dakota both spent more then two seasons in NCAA never mind one ,Dixon playing 4 and Gary 3) Are u saying if all the teams responsible for these players had rushed their development and sent them to the AHL after one year they would be better off ? I think I'll disagree and suggest those GM s , and our GM are a little more aware of the proper timeframe then u are. And judging by North Dakota alumni history , I'd say ur post is dead wrong

I'm sure this vid was already posted , but Woooow what a shot. The way he shoots with confidence and perpose is hard to find. Crazy how nobody had really paid much attention to him ( except Benning of coarse). First thing I thought in the video in him On home page was how crazy calm he is. Has mental toughness And confidence written all over him. More and more exited about this kid

It just blew in
-
Lol. More like a shirokov
-
This is a VERY good third round pick. This is one of the d men I wanted. It is the only bright spot of the draft for me

Good comeback
-
Lol. Now now deb. I realize emotions get flowin this time of the year , but Burr made a stupid play. It was stupid no matter how u look at it. It wasn't just "a collision". It was nowhere near a bure-churla, but it was a stupid play. Burr just made sure he got the best of it? Common. Really? I was way more pissed that burrows made that sloppy idiotic hit for no good reason then I was at the reff I can say that much. But hey, that's just me
-
Oh my god people need to get a grip. Burrows ain't St.alexandre. The hit was retarded. Away from the play , and not worth the chance. Absolutly stupid
-
He may be a more consiatant kassian. Maybe. My god the kid hasn't even played a game in the NHL yet. Lol
-
Lol. Hahaha I don't get it. Ur bitching about 3 points in his first two games ? Haha. U are either slow or just trying to rub people the wrong way for fun
-
When does this kid start? Is he playing yet ?
-
I Don't doubt that
-
Lol. Well at least he has that to fall back on.
-
He has to ,Or this was a complete waste of a second round pick in a deep draft year
-
Agreed. I've been back and forth in this trade for that reason. Kinda sounds stupid when u think about the ramifications of his waiver situation next year and his performance to this point. It's hard to support giving a roster spot to a kid that's proved nothing. Still, very well could work out
-
That's the problem. That and it pretty much screws Jensen( not that he has deserved anything better yet). They must have seen something they didn't like in Jensen because there isn't room for both. Vey is a centre. A little different situation there It's a risk because of the waiver situation , among other obvious things. some say his issue was work eithic and this might be taken as a "you already made the team" sort of thing for him mentally. I don't think it will end up that way, but it's a popular argument he won't have to earn his spot with hard summer work. I think he will work his arse off personally but there is debate. It's a very interesting move. Doesn't help the other prospects much in the way of competition because for one of them to take his spot without him being hurt means we would have to be totally giving up on him by putting him on waivers.They can't just play the best player and send the other down.
-
It's bad news for Jensen. They will have to choose between them soon. It's a bigger gamble then it might seem. We basicly have to give him a roster spot next year or lose him for nothing. That's not good news for guys like Jensen.
-
Well he won't have much time down there. He has till the end of this season then he would have to clear waivers. He isn't going to be part of Utica for long

Needs an update. It's a 2015 second . Benning confirmed. Not saying that means it's a bad trade , but it is a 2015
