Good call.

Forgot about him cause he’s playing the wing in Vancouver but he can also play down the middle.

What did it take to get Trochek? FYI, rule of thumb in Boss GMing is present value of future pick is round +1. Ergo 2021 1st equivalent to 2020 2nd, which isnt worth much. Think it’s going to be 2020 1st or Reinhart that will be what is required to get a 2C. If you can train yourself to start thinking like the 3ER, master strategist, you will be way out in front by the time you turn 30.

Haula who is a third line rental
Wallmark who is a young third line center
Luostarinen who is a mid second round pick center they may or may not pan out
and Priskie who was a late pick D prospect that may never make the NHL


so Larsson, Casey, Davidsson and William Worge-Kreu

Top line with Eichel and Skinner to the 3rd line. Adams is going to look like a ship lost at sea. He's GM in nameplate only.

He's basically Doug Whaley after Rex Ryan got fired.

He's such a likeable player. Wish he could hit 20+ goals again like he did on the Island

can somebody tell my why jesse puljujarvi gets so much attention?...

honestly, I just don't get it...just listened to chad d on gr and he's looking at a straight-up mitts for puljo trade, even though mitts is a center (although chad believes he'll be a winger) and he's a year younger and he has better stats on a worse team...

can ya help a brother out?

I honestly was very bullish on Casey’s potential as well and totally admit I was dead wrong.

I happen to agree with Chad that Mitts will still be an NHL player I just think it will be on the wing. His speed and defensive awareness will always hold him back from playing the middle.

Who do you move off the top pp to make room for skinner?
- Michael Pachla


Not a ROR debate,
but our PP is missing a guy for the slot position that he played so well for us

We don’t have that guy who makes the middle of the ice dangerous,
so teams are able to key on the “one timers” from Jack & Olofsson

He's physically a monster. Size, very, very powerful skater, and good hands.

He's an elite talent

Unreasonable expectations are set upon top picks. If you're drafted top5, you're a superstar...or a bust like Samson.

And the WJC's decide a lot of people's impressions. Everyone remembers his WJC, it was fun to watch. 17pts in 7 games...WOW. Everyone remembers Forsberg getting 40+ in 15 games...nobody remembers Esa Keskinen scored 32 in 14 too and never played an NHL game.

His lack of speed or too much speed? He seems like he skates well. What am I missing?

Hoping this where Cozens could help us. He's got a good shot, and can pivot and fire very quickly.

If Ralph didn’t play him in the top6 last year,
why is he going to this season?

Having a pretty strong season in Europe. Reignites some of the interest that made him a top 3 pick perhaps? Mitts showed ok in the A. Honestly, would rather keep mitts and try to get Poolparty some other way
BINGO!

4th overall pick who lit it up at the World Juniors*

*it would have been obvious to any that watched that Aho was driving the majority of the play on that line, but Pulju put up the most points so he got the headlines.

Is he on the team this year though?
I’d say it’s 50/50

And if he does make the roster,
is he on PP1?

My question was more about Puljo, however, Mitts has good speed and wasnt3 a complete tire-fire on defense...imo the only thing that is holdimg him back is an immature body
