Odd. Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 If we didn’t have such a logjam already I would’ve loved for us to get 6’6 Riley Tufte. Guy can skate for his size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly he is a forward Pilon, but I am sure he can be a D pylon with the rest of what we have if we ask him nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he got immortalized in a statue. Should have had the bone sticking out of his ankle where Mario broke it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophomore Jinx Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) Brogan Rafferty. RHD. Or Caggiula, smallish formerly highly touted prospect that didn't pan out (yet). We like reclamation projects, don't we? Or is that not a thing anymore? Edited October 2, 2022 by Sophomore Jinx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Nylander is one of those cases where I think it would have been better for him to stay in Sweden a few years. Become a dynamic offensive threat and then come over. Putting highly skilled players like him in the AHL to learn how to “play the right way” doesn’t often work out. He was either gonna make it as a dynamic offensive guy or not at all. I would take a flyer on a bottom 6 guy with some size and speed. We’re clearly still lacking that even with the addition of Joshua. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) Radim Zohorna is interesting. 6’6”, 230 lbs forward who plays all three positions. Pace and skating were concerns earlier on (no surprise given his frame) but supposedly he’s made some big improvements in those areas. And recent camp reports out of Pittsburgh said he’s in the best shape of his career. Limited NHL experience but he’s produced fairly well in the games he’s played (10 points in 25 games, playing only about 10 minutes per game) and his analytics profile is actually quite solid (both offensively and defensively). $750K AAV contract with just one year remaining. Have to imagine our management is very familiar with this player. Edited October 2, 2022 by SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our guys are getting pushed around a little too much again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our guys are getting pushed around a little too much again. Nope. He’s not really known as that kind of player. From the reports I’ve seen, he uses his size to be effective at both ends, digs for pucks and wins battles, but doesn’t really bring that truly imposing, physical edge to his game. More of a later blooming big guy with some flashes of higher end offensive abilities who also brings a pretty solid two way game. Not exactly soft, since he does average around a hit per game, but he’s not really considered “mean” or scaring anybody out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I’d prefer if guys who were 6’5+ at forward have some sort of mean streak to their game. It’s something we lack, even with Joshua. Tufte would be a player I’d grab. His skating for his size is really good, and he plays a heavy, north south game which we need more of in our bottom 6. He hasn’t really had an opportunity in Dallas as he’s had a couple of problems with the coaching staff there (not because of his attitude but how unfair he was being treated). Tufte alongside Lazar and Joshua would make an excellent 4th line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
