Nailed it.
So many new players, it was tough for me to have expectations. But Ennis was one i at least expected to play like last year. Wondering if he was playing injured and finally decided to throw in the towel on the injury?

So we're a bit past the quarter pole but who would be your pick for the following:

Most improved?

Most valuable?

Biggest surprise?

Biggest disappointment?
- mhp

Reinhart as most improved
O'Reilly is most valuable
Gorges as biggest surprise (playing top line minutes, even +/-, and after a sup par performance last year he has been quietly one of the best players on the team)
Ennis so far is the biggest dissapointment.

I kinda expected Risto to be awesome. Reinhart has really impressed me with his improvements. I was getting a little worried that we picked the wrong guy at #2.

I hope so. He was good for us last year and i expected him to be even better playing with talent.

gus on the bottom of the list


OH MY

I was looking at stats so far this year for some of our prospects and just wanted to pass along a few guys who seem to making nice improvements.

Fasching- 10 games for UM, 4g and 4 a, 8 pts. Will he be in Rochester next year?
Karabacek- 22 games in the Q, 8g and 7 a, 15 pts.
Johansson- 22 games for Almtuna in the SL, 2.46 gaa, .912 and 2 shutouts
Florentino- 10 games at Providence, 3 g and 2a.
Martin- 25 games for Saskatoon, 3 g and 21a.
Cornel- 27 games for Peterborough, 13 g and 17 a.
Estephan- 26 games for Lethbridge, 9 g and 20 a.
Guhle- 19 games for Prince Albert, 2 g and 6 a

If Lehner isn't hurt and he plays poorly, you could make a case there.

We probably still did pick the wrong guy.

Leon Draisaitl is far and away a better player than Reinhart at this point

He should be playing with Hopkins and Hall. Give it some time.

He looks lost this year.

He doesn't play with Nugent Hopkins.

Reinhart gets #1 pp time. He's getting better every game, but if anyone in their right mind thinks Reinhart has been better than Draisaitl they are delusional

Fasching and the 3 d are far and away the most important for me. The other ones are meh. It sure would be nice if baptiste, bailey, and/or fasching was able to make the jump and help out the top six on the right side. Obviously fasching is a couple years behind of course.

He looks lost this year.

I think so too

I'm beginning to wonder if the strengths of Ennis and Girgensons were most evident in a "try hard" pond hockey style - but require some adaptation to flourish in a more structured system. The Lion is someone who succeeds primarily through sheer will; and Ennis' jitterbugging doesnt necessarily lend itself to a coordinated team wide effort.

He doesn't play with Nugent Hopkins.

I could care less who the better rookie is. I care about career and if Reinhart helps us win a cup. I have no problem with how Reinhart looks.


Also, good opening drive by Tyrod.

I was pissed when Myers was traded too. But I have moved on . You look for any negative you can here. Draisatil is playing well but I will still take Reinhart . His ice smarts are amazing . This kid is going to be a big star in this league. Draitsatl should be good as well . But Reinhart's play away from the puck and at both ends of the ice is what impresses me.

Drop a pin on it...here starts the traditional unraveling in another key game. Some things never change.
