I am thinking about keeping a chronology of silly things "NHL Insider" Jay Stevens says but he thinks Owen Allard may crack the UHC opening day lineup.

ok - updated

Whoop whoop Moroz off to a strong start again - let's hope he actually keeps it up this season

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

Someone needs to sticky this to the top

Looks like But has become a regular in the Loko lineup and he's doing well with it. KHL tends to be stingy with awarding assists, so 5 in 9 games is a pretty good start.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

he is, but still getting less than 10min TOI

Simashev is hurt (hasn't played last 3 games) - not sure how long he will be out

Heard a couple weeks

 

[Mosby]

4 to 6 weeks for Simashev

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

Updated - and it appears Simashev is back as he played 2 games last week

 

[lanky]

Looks like Tij is busting hard.
Can we trade him for someone else's reclamation project?

Playing well to be honest. Points will come.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

well,

Daniil But had a nice week last week, and he's putting up tremendous numbers for a kid getting less than 12 min TOI a night

Also, shout out to some early season surprises having 'huge' success right now

Tomas Lavoie & Gabe Smith, unbelievable numbers so far

I'm even more excited about But than I am about Iginla.

This team has a bright future.

But is something else. I honestly don't know how all these forwards are going to get the minutes they deserve if they all pan out. Good problem to have.

It's crazy early to be saying this but it seems like But and Iginla are on track to earn spots next fall. Maybe they replace Bjugstad and Kerfoot who have expiring contracts.

On the D side, it seems like Simashev and Lamoureux are on track to earn spots next fall. Simashev can replace Cole and Lamoureux can replace Bortuzzo. I'm really not sure who is the 7th D in that scenario (assuming Kolyachonok is the 8th).

Valimaki needs to go
Sergy-Marino
Sima-Durzi
Koly-Kessel
MavLam

Keller-Hayton-Schmaltz
But-Cooley-Guenther
Crouse-Iggy-Maccelli
MCBain-Stenlund-Doan

almost feels like too many rookies though. The team could take a step back next season because of it.

Because of this situation I'm very tempted to move Maccelli for some defense this season or for a 3C next offseason so Iggy can play 3RW

They won't all pan out.

You guys are putting the cart before the horse. You guys are talking about letting guys bake in the A, and in the next breath you have them making the NHL club next year without playing a minute in the A.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

Simashev, But are already playing KHL, no way they play in AHL first.

MavLam they may give another year in the AHL to bake him further, but I doubt it.
