Then he went to the coilers, where highly touted prospects go to die. So... just to be clear, should we go for him or no?? He was on same line as Boeser back with Univ of ND?

GB5 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 1 hour ago, SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME said: Definitely some upside there (and a first round pedigree is nothing to sneeze at), and Tufte is probably a player who could use a change of scenery, given some of what he’s gone through the last couple years with the Stars. Still, I’m not entirely convinced of his NHL readiness at this point. Tufte isn’t a player anyone really seems surprised to see hit waivers (at least based on reactions/comments I’ve seen from people with far better knowledge of the Stars organization than me). Agree, however, that he’s closer to that “mean streak” type of profile than a guy like Zohorna is. On the other hand, I’ve seen plenty of “hockey people” expressing some surprise at Zohorna getting waived today. He was definitely seen as a player with a really solid chance of claiming a bottom-six spot in the NHL this season. And one with some upside and still a little runway left to develop into a player of quality. And here are some decent quotes from today’s Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: Entering training camp, Zohorna was seen as a viable candidate to claim a spot among the team’s bottom-six forwards. Last week, Zohorna drew strong reviews from management. “(Zohorna) has played really well for us,” Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said on Tuesday. “He’s made some plays throughout the course of the (intrasquad scrimmages) and the (preseason games). His fitness level has been the best it’s been since he’s been a Penguin. That’s allowing him the opportunity to play his game, just his ability to sustain his energy level and his effort level throughout the course of a long shift or just shift to shift or period to period. That’s something that we tried to challenge (Zohorna) with in the offseason and certainly, he’s put the work in. We can see it on the ice.” Interesting to make a claim and try the guy out, maybe he can out play Karlsson, Di Guseppe or any of the other guys vying for a spot in lui of Boeser and Makayev's injuries.

He was but I think Nick Schmaltz was the “driver” or playmaker of that CBS line. Something about Drake playing for 4 different teams already doesn’t sound good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BureBurrito Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Canucks are going to make a trade before opening day and likely pick off 1 or 2 waiver wire players (one being a D...they have been horrible in the preseason). The real action is in a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A righty d that’ll go with the big boys although probably not an everyday player. He's had injuries (knee) but he's my friend's nephew and I'd be all for that...have followed him since his early days. He's a tough customer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theo5789 Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Interesting that Zohorna is scheduled for their pre-season game tomorrow. Perhaps they're trying to sneak him down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuck1991 Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Radim Zohorna should be an interesting one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rathbone needs to play, but he could be a 7/8D I suppose...Rathbone Schenn is a good 3rd pair but who knows with Poolman healthy supposedly and Dermott and how injured he is or isn't i think there is one more year exemption for Rathbone and Hoglander 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
