He was 4th behind Gaudreau, Panarin, and Malkin in controlled zone entries and 1st, ahead of Hall, Hoffman, and Nyqvist in terms of controlled zone exits. These are old numbers from last year after 50ish games, so it's possible some caught him, or maybe he increased his lead. I don't know. His numbers are probably down this year given his injury; he's clearly not carrying it like last year at this point.

It's just a trend, but it was surprising where he was after just 4 months in the league.

So almost every player on that list is a winger, how do you know that Jack wouldn't be better on the wing?

Man I wish Taboo was on tonight.

Ok...so you think you can win a championship with Okposo and Kane as 2 of your top 3 wings?

I may need to spend alot more time consulting on these threads then.

Have you seen him skate? It just gives him more choice both carrying the puck and in the zone.

Yes, unfortunately more when the other team has the puck though.

Okee dokee!

Anyone hear T Mobile named to the Pro Bowl. Can't play due to surgery though. Fitzy replacing him. Lirl when Schopp and BD announced it today.

Must be desperate. I bet Rodgers and Roethlisballs aren't going either because they just lost, along obviously with Brady and Ryan. Plus injured guys, and others who have withdrawn.

Do people even watch the Pro Bowl? In Canada we know it exists, but I dont think Ive ever even heard of someone watching it on TV.

Panthers lost in OT

i'm still trying to figure out why murray has eight open contract spots

Maybe the inordinate number of college players they have and need to sign in the year or years ahead as well as just plain draft picks they have had recently and need to put in their system soon. Maybe a picture as to why some picks were traded, you just can't have that many draft picks within a short period of time.

Not really, no. I heard they're actually doing a skills competition this year which, like hockey, is the best part. And for some reason they did away with it for a long time.

As far as forwards go...
(Using current players in the organization)

Nylander-Eichel-Okposo
Foligno-O'Reilly-Ennis... plays against other teams top lines
Kane-Reinhart-Bailey
Moulson-Larson-Girgensons
Deslauriers

*I'd love if Vegas took Moulson, but I think they'll take Carrier
*Fasching needs more AHL time imo, and I'd also be shopping him as a major piece to bring back a top4 defenseman
*i have Bailey ahead of Baptiste, but Baptiste would be my 1st call up

Kane-Reinhart-Bailey

- jdfitz77

I like that line

I like that line
- homiedclown

Me too
I think we could see Reinhart as a playmaker,
Setting up Kane & Bailey

I'd love to move Moulson off the team somehow
Still wanna see if Ennis can get back to his old self,
But I'm ok with trading him in a package to get back the right defenseman
