What's going on with Vinni?

No games played? And what League is Mestis? At the draft the scout said he'd be playing in the Top Finnish league.

He's been playing in the U20 league for the last little bit. He just got loaned to a Mestis(basically Finland's AHL) team yesterday.

The Liiga team that owns his rights is the best team in the league and has a bunch of goalies, so no ice time for him there.

As long as he stays in Russia he’s ours.

That being said, they better offer him a contract.

That starts with a conversation though, and Stan's Busy (TM) so he hasn't been able to even make time for that if we're to believe the translation of that recent interview.

Weirdly enough Clattenburg is a guy I’d love to see take the new college route for a year before hitting pro’s

He could definitely marinate for longer, but is the college game going to neuter his? A guy like Trent Frederic came out with his edge still sharp, but I feel like college won't nourish the intimidation aspect of Clattenburg’s game.

I Think Clattenburg is a legit Psycho lol, he won’t lose that. I am more worried that he won’t have enough offense to play in the NHL and that’s what I would want him in to work on in the NCAA

IMO he has enough to be a 3rd line guy. The way that he plays puts him into good positions to score. He just plays bull in a china shop hockey so there will be lots of deflections, rebounds, etc. coming out of that type of game.

Somewhere on Uranus
He’s injured again. Guys a limping bandaid
and we traded two prospects for him. I still do not understand why we traded for a guy who has had two years of back to back lost seasons. The guy is too fragile for the NA game

Looks like they took the assist away from O’Reilly on the fourth goal.
I posted about a week ago I have been more impressed with Nicholl than with O'Reailly in the games I have been able to stream
