I didn't see any of Fox's college games...but i saw plenty of Cam's junior tournament and Michigan games. He looked like the straw that stirred the drink offensively, and certainly was a force defensively. Personally, i don't believe you can have too many defensemen. This may sound counter to reason, but I'd prefer to trade Konecny and a 1 than Sanheim if that'd net veteran D help

I don't fully understand where York slots in. If he is as good as advertised, he should be here by this time next year, and 2 year from now, he should be middle pairing.

So then we would have: your vet, Travis, Myers, Provorov, and York fighting for 4 spots.

Sounds like an embarassment of riches...there's always bottom two. If Hart rebounds we could be tough to score on.

A lot of people will need to do a lot of rebounding for that to happen.

The coming 3 weeks should be interesting: 10 odd games, in 20 odd days, after 3 days off. And 3 against the Devils.

Rest and packed schedule will not be excuses. Harbinger of what is to come next season?

Its an opportunity for a lot of players to prove they deseve to stick around. Also it gives them a chance to play the role of spoiler. If they have any intestinal fortutude it could be entertaining.

I think they will be ok and will pick up 12-14 points from the 11 games.

I have to tip my hat to the Panthers. Ekblad out, Barkov out for several games, Covid delays and Bobrovsky, their 70 million goalie, merelyaverage and their 2nd best goalie.

But other than Carolina, they are doing well against everyone else, including TBL. And even with Carolina, two of the games were OT losses else they would have been even with them too.

If they do that I'll consider it to be a satisfying end to an overall dismal season. Panthers doing well in a pretty tough division. Competing with Bolts and Canes they've more than held there own...winning again tonight

If there is no big fish to reel in, I would be happier with that than getting someone middle tier but on a long term deal.

How is Zamula looking in LHV?

Igor looks to be two years out of actually pushing for a spot. He’s got talent, skills, ability but the pro game will take a bit. Hopefully they let him grow and don’t pitkanen or spisa him

Thanks.

Looking ahead, it does seem like there will be a projected gap across from Provy unless Myers really steps up.

Winning (Duh)

The Devils were losing 6-0 after two periods last night.

Did they quit and throw in the towels and lose 9-0?

Nope, looks like they did what the Flyers do and started playing in the third.

Why don't you tell me since I don't give a poop, I was thinking about the other games where they did and still lost. Which to me is worse, because if they had realized there were actually three periods in a game maybe their record would be better.

Totally agree

I actually need to jump up and down to really get the full titillation effect. Hope you don't think I am flip-flopping.

PT, "flip-flopping" is the wrong term. More like "moving the needle" would be more accurate for you.

Not correct. York is LHD which means Provy, Sanheim and Morin as slotted. Zamula is LHD as well but he is experiencing some growing pains typical of a young defenseman so its likely he and York aren't separated by much.

Haag is a question mark as he can play both sides (as can Sanheim), but I would think given how much better he has played since his injury and the fact its been predominately as RHD that they may push him to that side given our lack of depth.

Typically,

In most cases; usually.

By the way, Hedman's top 20 finish was actually a top 10.
- PT21

ghost had a top 10 finish. was it because of his defensive prowess do you think?

i'm not sure why you're mentioning the norris anyway. it's given to defensemen that put up points. not necessarily because they're good at playing defense.

No way in hell are they injecting me with that experimental crap

Hard pass

Sir, this is a hockey board. See your doctor if you are having a problem moving your bowels.

I'm late to the party but I am also ok board for getting jones over eichel even though eichel is a atud

We need defense. If we keep adding forwards we will eventually become toronto, minus the star power

Jones and pricy make a solid 1-2 punch against any teams top lines
