Are they realistically gonna have a shot this year??? We got rid of grossman, but we still have plenty of other dmen.
- benjichronic

no.

How good do we expect Medvedev to be? He is a huge question mark on our defense. I do like the signing though.

As long as he can play well defensively, and as long as he's somewhat mobile, I'd be happy.

From these highlights, he looks to have a pretty good shot, and he looks to be a pretty good skater.

What? You think the other Dmen signed to NHL contracts are blocking them. That's complete BS.

His skating and shot definitely stood out in that video. I read somewhere he isnt that physical. Hopefully he will be able to make the switch to the North American game.

Gonna be tough, what with all that depth and such

I was just thinking about that too, hopefully he isn't too soft. The last thing we need is a dman that's scared to go after pucks cuz he doesn't wanna get hit. IF that is the case, pairing him with schenn, gudas, etc would be a good idea.

I don't think Hextall would sign a defenseman that's scared to go after pucks.

I hope not. Apparently according to Winning, we need both Kessel and Phaneuf

I think that just because a guy doesn't like to dole out big hits that he should be labeled not physical or soft. Nor should it automatically mean he cant or wont take a hit.

Time for a press conference!

Like the fact that Hextall signed some solid vets with NHL experience to help the Phantoms and provide injury depth.
