I love how competitive Demko is. All the crap this year but we have our starting goalie locked up relatively cheap for 5 years. That’s exciting as heck and a big positive out of this season as well 

We’re seeing the team take shape.

Demko

Hughes

Bone

OJ

Schmidt

Myers

Petey

Bo

Miller

Bess

Pearson

Hogs

Pods

Like who? 

Any of our young players really. Why not see how they handle it? The games literally mean nothing at this point other than to evaluate for next year.

Not at all worried with this scouting staff picking 5-9 

Virtanen and Juolevi say hi.

 

However like I said if we win out our games we’ll be picking like 11th.

 

Being at 5 doesn’t guarantee you anything but at least you have more options to catch a stud that slips out of the top 3-4.

Getting a Clarke, Edvinsson, Hughes is exactly what this team needs.

Sucks to win at this part of the season but good job on the boys! Good 2nd and 3rd!

Anyone that doesn't like getting Highmore is a complete goof and doesn't know anything?

More either a pessimist or just trying to push the Benning is a goof narrative. We see what happens. No sense judging the trade over a few games to end the season

PREACH!!!!!!

You're optimistic but I don't think that's really realistic, we have one of the worst d cores in the league and maybe worst d coach. 

 

Something big has to go down to fix that in a year or two.

Big T will return and we will fire Brown and Baum

Eddie will retire and we will bring in some support via trade.

Early verdict so far

 

Highmore is a keeper

Boyd could be a decent 13th fwd or call up

Michaelis is ok cheap depth/call up option

 

Vesey is invisible

There are more than enough players to get a look at in a top 6 role. Why not use tgese games to see what different guys can bring?

Like who? We can't move anyone from the taxi squad to the roster for this game. And Highmore sure looks to be making the most of it and 'showing what he can bring'

[-NucksFan]

Seeing the Stanley Cup games on right now seems so weird 

[JustABandwagoner]

I dont agree with his second sentence though.....

Not so sure on Boyd, but the other two hell yes. 

I like him as a 13th/14th forward.

That a way boys.  I really liked Miller this game.  He was 110% all game.  I noticed how he celebrated that second Highmore goal too.  He’s a great teammate.  

JD Burke - that can't be you!

Podkolzin Pettersson and Hughes say hi also Boeser... 

 

Juolevi has looked solid in all the games he played not even remotely an issue.

Its not realistic to expect them to purposely lose.

 

It is however annoying to continually see bottom 6 offenseless bums score a bunch in mean nothing games to wreck the chances for a higher pick and fool Benning into re-signing them for too much money and term.
