Nice to see the lesser knowns chipping in goals Granlund Motte and I guess Loui all look like they will have 12 + goals. I know it is not a lot but better than the usual 6 goals our bottom 6 forwards score.

Leivo with 4 goals in 9 games has been a nice addition to the roster. He now has 8 on the season, could be another guy in the 20 goal range.
Not going to get to optimistic about this season, but, they have generally been pretty exciting too watch most of this season.

He got that info eh? If I were a GM I'd just lie to him and tell him I had him ranked right behind the guy I took so I wouldn't look bad lol.
- Nucker101


But if you were a GM and had him ranked ahead of who you picked then why wouldn’t you just pick him lol ?

He'll always be a bust for a 6th overall pick, but at least he's a serviceable nhler now.

Just wondering which RFAs you guys think would be worth resigning?
Leivo, Granlund, Goldy, Motte (Obviously Brock) Hutton, Pouliot

I'd like Leivo, Goldy, Motte and Hutton

I'd love it if we could offload Granlund at the TDL - guy puts up a few points, can play up and down the lineup, kills penalties and has RFA status - should be worth something

Pouliot I don't care about at all.

Also, on my wish list is Sutter traded at TDL and Schaller sent to the moon and replaced by Jedi Mace Ewen

Has them ranked in Tier's

So much for my under the radar prospect Trevor Zegras. Ranked 6th there.

Bobby Brink the shorter version of Kyle Connor?

Albin Grewe (Gree-veh), C/RW / 03-22-01 / 6’ 176lbs / SHL
A high-energy player with speed, physicality and offensive instincts. Was destroying the J20 circuit and has been effective in a checking role in the SHL upon promotion. An athlete who can handle himself well in all situations. A fan-favourite type of guy. Can play a little too outside of the lines at times.

Sounds like the type of player Van could use in their top 6.

Been following him since last season, kid would be a nice fit with Bo.

22. Raphaël Lavoie, C / 09-25-00 / 6’4 198lbs / QMJHL
Powerful forward boasts a deadly release that’s as heavy as it is accurate. Had a very strong showing at last year’s U18s and was invited to Canada’s WJC camp – a nice feather for a d-eligible player. Protects the puck well and forces his way into dangerous areas. Just 10 days shy of being eligible for the 2018 crop. His skating needs to improve in both acceleration and pace. I see him as a winger in the NHL.

Yup that is the guy.
I also see him as a winger, hence why I said he would be a nice fit with Horvat.

Will Van be drafting in the area? I would actually be quite surprised if he went before pick 22.

I thought our thing was to complain as we are winning 3-1

- VANTEL

I wasnt complaining about winning, I was complaining about TG going from an exciting game to boring as (frank).

He's a kid/player that can move up and down on the top three lines when he's going, a valuable commodity. I don't foresee him ever being an offensive driver but very much a much needed depth forward.

You also said that Horvats ceiling was elite 3C. So anybody should take your opinions of Virtanen w a grain of salt
