Nelson is no longer waiver exempt. He's not going down unless he's atrocious in camp.
- Lunaion

he is our best defensemen so i doubt he goes down..

doubt it.
Why wasn't he working on it WITH ROR who is the best and on his teams for the past 3 years.
Missed opportunity.

No one seems to want to consider that maybe the issue is that Jack is acting like a punk?

I don't know how many times I am going to have to post this.

Tampa Bay was 27th in faceoff wins.
Colorado was 31st
Vegas was 22nd
Capitals 13th


Buffalo was 7th
Carolina was 1st

There are certain scenarios where winning a FO is important.

Over the course of the season, winning faceoffs and driving possession do not correlate in the slightest.
- ImThatGuy

Vegas, WSH, and TB do fall into your theory. But bored on a whim.. I decided to look this up.

Of the 16 teams that made the playoffs...

NSH - 2nd
COL - 31st (1st rd eliminated)

WPG - 5th
MIN - 16th (1st rd eliminated)

Vegas - 22nd
LAK - 17th (1st rd eliminated)

ANA - 8th
SJS - 8th (tie) (1st rd eliminated)

TBL - 27th
NJD - 30th (1st rd eliminated)

BOS - 10th
TOR - 6th (1st rd eliminated)

WSH - 13th
CLB - 26th (1st rd eliminated)

PIT - 14th
PHI - 2nd (1st rd Eliminated)

he is our best defensemen so i doubt he goes down..

Most likely.

Start of the year: Dahlin, Risto, Scandella, Bogo, Nelson, Guhle, McCabe.
Beau/Pilut get the call up once Bogo breaks.

Really?


That sure sounds like “they don’t matter” to me
- jdfitz77

BOOM?

I agree not a fan either... Zadina or Wahlstrom or what if they went defense again, Hughes?
- gordong

Hughes is risky for me
I think I’d put him last in that group of defensemen even though he’s got big upside

Guhle may start in Rochester 'cuz If BEAU is sent down he will be claimed.

Those after practice O’Reilly practices really lifted this team to new heights.

The biggest faceoff of the entire NHL season was won by Lars Eller, a 49% guy and a third line center.

It's not like RoR wins 80% cleanly or something.

Did they hurt?
Maybe playing xbox was more important...

Yeah, I haven't done my normal draft research for the early 1st rd, 'cuz of the lottery result, but, obviously would trust BOTS judgment. I mean, there weren't many who "loved" the Mitts pick last year when it was made and he may end up being the #1 guy from the 2017 draft when all is said and done; certainly top 3
- turbo044

I wanna say Mitts was usually ranked 5th and fell to 8th
Can’t remember who is was (maybe one of the Sprtsnet guys?) said the other day that he’d take Mittelstadt FIRST OVERALL in a re-draft
I liked hearing that

And that’s really it.

The best dude in the league is like 10% better than a coin flip.

It’s nothing big

I think this is right. I know many were surprised he fell down to us, and that we got a steal

BOOM?

Hahahaha

How’s family life sir?
Nice to cya back around

can we send baeiou down just to rid ourselves of him?

lets give him a few more games in the nhl before he is "re-drafted" #1.. the top two guys didn't really look that out of place in the NHL did they?

and this is a bad thing? Bowl-u is not very good...

Aren’t u a Corsi stats guy?

Isn’t the difference between a good Corsi team and a below average one just a few % points as well?

Should i say it again....
idk...
ah, f#ck it...

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM
hahaha

And a good chunk of that 10% doesn't even lead to clean possession. Even deciding the FO winner is debatable a decent amount of the time.

Agreed
Just nice to hear

Wasn’t me saying that

Patches looking for a 6 to 8 year deal. Figures not mentioned.

Only length.


No girth.

Yeah, Rangers traded up and picked some weird guy who projected then to be a 3rd/4th line center. At #8 I thought we were taking Owen Tippett to be Jack's future sniper and was a bit disappointed we took Casey. (haven't heard too much about him - he went #10 to Fla). Thank God I'm not the GM

yes, I was frustrated with the Mitts pick last year ... from a position perspective since they were obviously so devoid of D talent...a gapping hole.
Similar to the LW gappign hole this year.

Sure, but shot attempts are infinitely more important than a face off.

- jdfitz77

Exactly, hence why I bring it up.
he seems to be happy with his game, when in fact he has miles to improve.

And there never has been, ever. And there are multiple articles written on it.

HOW ARE WE BACK TO THIS SILLY ARGUMENT
