Brandon Wheat Kings 1978-79 season

Ray Allison 62gms 60g 93a 153pts
Laurie Boschman 65gms 66g 83a 149pts

so were there no goalies in net back then?

What is the rush with getting OJ into the NHL? If he's ready to move on from JR then maybe send him to the SEL or men's league in Finland. He needs time to develop and not be rushed.

Shiny new toy + watching Tkachuk play so well gets fans/media antsy

If he is ready, well then he is ready. Personally, I think he should be on the team assuming he can add a few pounds

It's been six years since someone's had 50 points and been under the age of 30, congrats to Horvat on his 50th point. Change is coming.

Lots of Panties get in a knot lol

I think is already better than Hutton so why not at least give him 9 games?

Wrong wrong wrong

At this point, JV is far from a lock to make the roster next year if the forwards are healthy to start the season. Let alone in a top 9 role, especially with Goldobin/Boeser here now and even Boucher to a lesser extent. Plus you'll have Eriksson, Granlund and Dorsett back in the lineup.


Make him earn it, outside of the expensive vets, all spots should be up for grabs in camp/pre-season, and have to be earned.

Ferraro scored a 100 goals a few years later.

How many games have you seen him play? I watched all of his games at the WJHC + 6-7 regular season games and the playoffs so far.

The guy is too weak for the NHL right now, he gets pushed around by teenagers. He has the skating/skill/hockey sense to play in the NHL right now, but he'll get destroyed along the boards and in front of the net unless he gets a lot stronger over the summer.

Did anyone think he should have coming out if the preseason?

Does he look better this year in JR compared to last year?

There is no rush getting him into the lineup.

Explain why you think he's NHL ready then, I'm genuinely curious(not trying to stir poop up).

My roster ideas r always about eaning it.
If JV is beaten out i'm cool

I want to know what's the rush?

No idea. If they can't/won't move Edler or another dman then the D depth chart looks like this:

Edler - Tanev
Hutton - Gudbranson
Tryamkin - Stetcher
Sbisa


I can see OJ getting a small taste of regular season action, but more than 9 games would shock me unless he really bulks up(not JV style lol).
