agreed. he has been the biggest disappointment on defense this year. I also don't hate that GMJB took a chance on him, not every move is going to work. I suppose I would want him over Tennyson but it's a coin flip.

It’s everything.

I do think Bogosian being healthy has helped the defense, even if it’s slightly. But even him, you can’t rely on for any offense whatsoever, and Risto/Scandella are providing none.

I don’t think anyone pictured this defense providing this little offense

- sbroads24



he's all but given up on having them move the puck. most of their breakouts are either just clears/aimless or two forwards coming back to help them do it. Takes them 6 passes to do what the ducks and preds can do in one or two.

I thought Scandella has been playing relatively well, and he was never know as an offensive juggernaut anyways. He should have had one maybe 2 last night.

Had to resurface a bathtub this afternoon and we used a paint thinner like solvent to clean the old surface before we put on the new enamel.

I’m high as (frank) right now.

That right, quoting myself...
Now going out on the Lanai, it is about 81 out ... enjoy a cigar and a glass of Bookers Bourbon with him as well while watching whatever game is on!

The Calder race is between Boeser, McAvoy, and Barzal

Selected 16th, 23rd and 14th overall in recent two years.

I read somewhere that only 27 guys drafted in the past 2 years have played at least 1 game in the nhl.

That seams low

Devils could be something special right now if they picked a blueliner in 2015

27 out of close to 500 guys drafted in 2 years. That's about 5%.

we're like 4 months into the season after the last draft so the only guys up here from 2017 are your high end picks and emergency call ups

The 2nd-7th rounders who will become NHLers wont really hit that level until 3 or 4 years removed from the draft.

A lot of those guys consist of european picks who are still overseas or college guys as well.

The fact that roughly 5% of the draft class is in the nhl right now after a year and a half sounds about average.

Edit: it's also not "close to 500" its 417 so you're looking at roughly 6.5%
