I really doubt he is the leading candidate but I read that as well. I think a 15 g 20 should been seen as a great season.

Read my quote, I said ''A'' candidate. He's being talked amongst the guys with a shot at it.

''The'' leading candidate I think not.

I should have used better wording.

Sedins and Vanek look surprisingly okay.

When Russell and Larsson were together last year they were swiss cheese. Larsson Nurse was okay. Larsson Sekera was pretty solid.

He's a perfectly fine Dman but he really needs a stud to handle transition.

When Russell is the on the ice with McDavid

Russell = McDavid's Kryptonite.

I think the Twins are at a point where the puck hound might not be their best linemate anymore. I think having more of a skilled player for passing options and stuff is the way to go.

If they could still do those amazing cycle shifts on the regular it'd be a different story, but I think having a guy who is more suited to an entry of pass-pass-shot works better.

I still wouldn't make it, but I thought Larsson would struggle in EDM, but he's looked pretty solid. Klefbom is their stud though, so underrated.

I can't call it a bad trade at this point.

Larsson has played fine, but Hall is still a hell of a lot better.

Poor guy hasn't played on a single team with more than like 2 real NHL defenceman in his career. Such a shame for a guy who can embarrass Dmen in the neutral zone like him.

Another Sedin with 1 too many passes.

You can tell they are not in sync yet but making smart plays so far off each other. I also like that Vanek does his best work in front of the net.

Was thinking the same thing, Crisp passing down low with the three of them.

I don't really like Gagner on the same PP as Henrik.

They fill the same role as halfwall distributor.

I'd rather see Gagner on his own unit with a bevy of LH shots for passing options, and the Twins unit with the rest of the righties and Daniel.

He was looking frustrated with his line mates last shift.

I see Hall was expendable for need.
The price to acquire D is not cheap.
Hall is useless on D & plays reckless & gets injured cuz of it & Seguin was my pick over him. Close so i go C over W every time.

Did you see that pass by Vanek? It didn't get us a goal but it sure was nice.

You know, I've never really thought about what this new roster will do for our shoot out line up this year.

I think our wins could go up quite a bit in that area....
