i argued (perhaps conspiratorially) that the org would rather let stillman take bigger minutes and playtime in rochester than have him rot on the bench like bryson because they like stillman more.

why risk losing him to waivers if that was the case

"As a 20-year-old, Bloom won’t have nearly the same burden of high expectations as his more experienced counterparts, but he already has enough strong professional habits to be an effective AHL player at a relatively young age. If Bloom ends up finding a fit alongside a skilled centre like Räty, that Stillman trade could become more and more lopsided with each passing game."

Lance says he is out on the ice for morning skate so I think he's in.

I did like Stillmans preseason, hopefully he can build on that.

Now what would be the pairings. Wouldn’t mind

Dahlin-Power
Johnson-Clifton
Stillman-Joki

donnie needs to preach the fun and gun or install a defensive system

pick a lane meathead

well I can tell you it's the former and will stay the former, but that doesn't allow them to ignore basic defensive responsibility.

They can still have adequate backchecking and be a high scoring team. Because adequate would be elite compared to last year.

Oh damn we lost an AHL regular for a bottom pair defenseman. You gotta let this one go.

Also, I don't think they put him on waivers if they think he might be taken. And if so, they're comfortable enough with their depth on defense to allow it anyhow.

None of those guys know what D is, might as well just place Olo there.
If he is so good, can anyone explain why is the vast majority of cases his impact on individual players is they produced the worst result with him than without him...virtually across all stat lines

Interesting that's the thought, Detroit is entertaining signing him because of how well him and Debrincat played together. I think he needs the right linemates. He certainly fit with him and Pararin, he made Andrew Shaw.

Bills LB Terrel Bernard is the only player in the NFL with over 50 total tackles and 2 INTs.

Also the only player with 50+ tackles and 2 fumble recoveries.

On the season Bernard has:
57 tackles
5 tackles for loss
2 sacks
2 INTs
2 QB hurries
2 fumble recoveries
2 pass breakups

Stillman played games 1 & 3, but did not play game 2.

Now what would be the pairings. Wouldn’t mind

Dahlin-Power
Johnson-Clifton
Stillman-Joki

I don't trust Clifton off the 3rd pairing yet.

I wonder if St. louis would take Olo for Parayko

Would you take on that contract to add him to the d group now that you have Dahlin and Power locked up?

Id play dahlin and power 26-27min and split time for the rest.

I thought clifton johnson have played 2 good games in a row.

Dont know much about parayko lately. Isnt he as slow as okposlo?

we lost him for an AHL d man

why did adams sign him at 19 if he was going to be an ahl bum?

you need a reality check

AHL Forward for an AHL d-man... not a bad trade

Over reaction Thursdays
- Boss34

when the time came to start trading off prospects, I thought we would aim higher than an AHL d man


if an organization signs you at 19, I would assume they are pretty high on you


side note

stillman -2 in 2023-24
bryson even




and chicken man has 4 points in 4 nhl games this season

it's worse than an early 6th for a late 6th at the draft

stillman will be playing in a euro league next year

We're twisting our panties over a kid that could barley play at a ppg pace as a third year. And didnt show up when it counted.
