He's never really fallen off being a 40+ point guy. It was his defense that fell off in the past couple of years. Regaining that would be huge for him and the Canucks.
Tons of viable options. I'd say any of Pettersson, Boeser, Horvat, and Demko are the best ones, but I could see a case for Hughes as well. Really surprised that OEL has so many votes. Glad people are liking him though.
We'll probably lose this game given that McDavid and Draisaitl are playing.
Hoping that Halak can get a full game in tonight.
Hoping to see a chunk of cuts after this and only 2 or 3 final fringe guys on the roster for our last game.
Glad he feels he's able to take the time he needs, even though he had to know there are Habs fans who will go nuts. Really hope he finds the healing he needs.
We don't close player threads. If they leave the team, we move them to the alumni section. If they get set down to the AHL, we move them to the Prospects/In The System subforum.
Bad game overall, but I'm not gonna overreact. It's just a pre-season game. I've watched enough hockey to know how little a bearing pre-season games have on the regular season. Excited for Thursday's game and hoping to see more NHL talent.
