Good read (reed), i really hope Moulson and Ennis can bounce back this year, if not both at least one of them. I don't think Z is going to be in the Top 6, but he could have a bounce back year as well. As long as the all play decent, hopefully we can dump 1 of them at the deadline. (Moulson)

I think we will be good this year.

You need some wurst!

How is it a few teams are looking for a top 6 LW at this time of year? Philly has that opening also.

It happens . Teams all have dif needs and others have an abundance. Just have to find the right fit.

Sounds like you need Josh Bailey. Top-six-left-winger-extraordinaire.

I'd play Ennis there and have Nylander play the third line after some time in the Roch.

10 games would burn a year of his contract . Seems 50:50 if he has the skills for the NHL now.

I think it's more a question of frame/bulk and upper body strength.

He's more like Reinhart than Eichel.

If he plays in Rochester it doesn't matter if he plays 5 games or 50 games in the NHL and then gets sent to Rochester, it still burns a year.

Only way it doesn't is if he goes back to Juniors (and maybe to Europe I'm not sure how that works)

Players drafted and playing for CHL teams are ineligible to play in the professional minor leagues (AHL, ECHL) until they are 20 years old (by December 31st of that year) or have completed four years in major juniors.

Nothing, still same stuff. Murray isn't happy they lost Vesey but he's moving on.

That's my same brain thought. Might seem like his twin. Timid, lost would be a good bet on his first real game in the NHL. Hope i'm wrong.

He was on loan from this Swedish team to the OHL so technically he was drafted out of Europe, he is eligible for the AHL

I see . Didn't think Roch counted towards that.

It only applies to European players that are playing professionally overseas that get loaned to junior teams.

His 3 games with AIK put him in that category

LWs on higher cap teams:
Tatar
Pulkkinen
Pearson
Zucker
Burakovsky (would require a new deal in a year)
Hartnell

Just a few that could be a possibility of a trade
