    What a difference still having Tanev would have made.

    Thx JB.

     

     

    You need to stop living in the past. We've got what we've got. If there's "good news" with Poolman's injury - if he is done - then there may be room to recoup a RD defenceman.

    I've watched him like a hawk tonight and he's a disgrace.  Not even AHL calibre!    He must be at minus -4 at least tonight.    He should not be allowed to stay on the roster and deprive one of our better rookies a chance especially since they are all playing better than him.

    Biased and blind! It must suck to be you!

    I have seen dumpster fires behind used tire shops, and various McDonalds locations that would be more valuable to this team than Poolman

     

    We could literally get a guy to lie down in front of the net and take away the bottom half, have Demko focus on the top and middle, and get better results than having Poolman in our starting lineup

     

    We could have poolman cleaning the team swimming pool, and have the usual pool man play in poolmans place, and get better results

     

    I could go on

    SSDD! Sigh.

    Haven't seen one yet but a different net minder will probably get  go at it.

    I'm really not interested in wins and losses, although another win would be fun, but rather, in how some of these unsigned prospects perform. There're a couple of Ds I'd like to see and evaluate other than just the goalies. Young should be interesting to watch, though, if he gets the call.

    Why would Sweden not put their best shooting threat out on the 5 on 3??

     

    Dumb. 

    To my eyes, Sweden has looked disorganized, particularly on the PP. It may be a result of poor coaching, ie. coach's poor decision making. Thoughts?

    ECHL Affiliation yet,

    in Prospects / Farm Team

    Posted

    Have the Vancouver Canucks signed an affiliation deal with an ECHL team yet? It appears as if only the Wichita Thunder, the Greenville Swamp Rabbits, and the Allen Americans have no AHL/NHL affiliates. With some Abby 'Nucks signing AHL/ECHL contracts, where might they go?

    Is that the Addison that is 170 pounds, and plays in the minors?  We’d be a lot better off with just picks. 

    I suppose. Calen Addison, 5'11, 180 lbs, played 4 games for the Wild behind a fairly strong defense group, and is considered a blue chip prospect. The suggested throw in, according to Aaron Heckman, the reporter, was  Dmitry Kulikov.

    In an article I just read, sorry I can't link it here, the author suggests that to replace Fiala in Minnesota, the Wild should trade for Garland with RD Addison + as a return. It's interesting. Thoughts?

    "Without getting into an argument" is your starting sentence and you end with "if you're a hockey person, you'd already know that".  

     

    Passive aggressive much?  Lol.

     

    Look, you make it sound like defense is a team game, but that offense is not?  It is a team sport, so I would assume, even without being a "hockey person",  just by pure logic, the relationship would exist on both end no?

    I do agree with what you've just said. I didn't mean to come across as being "passive aggressive", and I apologize for that. I'm just getting so tired of members belly aching about the lack of getting a RD this summer, when a) the summer isn't over; b) we have too many forwards at this time; and c) the team has added some dynamic forwards that they believe may have some size, speed, "bite", and defensive acumen.

    So is offense.  Not sure what you're getting at.

     

    The one position that is influenced the least is goaltender (thank God for Demko), and even that can be said is a team strategy.  

    Without getting into an argument, when the team as a whole has talented, high hockey IQ, forwards AND defencemen, the team as a whole should be able to play a more cohesive "defensive" or tighter style, without giving up offensive opportunities. If you're a hockey person, you'd already know that.
