That's how he looked in his draft year.When Levshunov is not on the PP I can't even describe what I'm seeing. He looks like hes depressed or something. He looks nothing like himself. Maybe he's confused or something. He glides around and doesn't jump in play or anything. He's going to be fine but usually youngsters look bad in the way Korch looked bad. Mind going 100 miles an hour, jumpy, trying to do too much. Lev looks like he might fall asleep on the ice.
On the defensive side, sure there was some of that no doubt. That can chanve. I just want to see him back to jumping into the rush and shit again.That's how he looked in his draft year.
My biggest takeaway when watching him is I'd always describe him as "nonchalant".
He's a very low energy player.
At this point it's really hard to be worried about anything.On the defensive side, sure there was some of that no doubt. That can chanve. I just want to see him back to jumping into the rush and shit again.
Commesso staying down would help. Weeks has been ok in goal for a young Ahl only contract goalie. They really need their veteran scorers to start putting the puck in the net. Defensively they probably need to add a Ahl veteran “all star” to help when injuries occur and the inevitable up and down nature of young dmen:I don't want to underestimate how hard it is to adjust from college or Junior to the AHL but I really hope they get their stuff together in time to make the playoffs. It would be so great if they could make a deep playoff run together.
Maybe they could even add guys like Rinzel, Greene, Moore, Lardis, Thompson, and James and win a whatever the cup is called down there. I think it would be great for all of their development and a chance to really develop build chemistry.

Soderblom is approaching waiver eligibility in 4 games played. Can’t imagine they’d waive him if he reaches it before Brossoit comes back. Seney/mayhew/sanford just need to get consistent offense. Andreas would help obviously but he’s out 4-6 weeks. The younger guys wouldn’t be added until late in the year.When Brossoit comes back, if ever, the crease in Chicago gets pretty crowded so they might even add Soderblom to the AHL roster. Guttman has been ok but it would be nice to get more from Seney and Mayhew. It'll also be curious to see what happen with Athanasiou if/when he comes back.
Mostly because the NHL team has been a disappointment, I'm so intrigued by who signs at the end of their junior/college seasons and how talented the Icehogs roster could be. We'll see if that talent can overcome the experience of the other teams in the AHL.

Hogs have been playing better
Think you ride with Soderblom the way he’s playing and roll with 3 goalies if/when Brossoit recovers.RE: Soderblom - what do they do if Brossoit takes longer to come back? Do they call up Commesso or Weeks and send Soderblom down just to protect him? Do they just stick with Mrazek and Soderblom up and then trade someone when Brossoit comes back? Do they stick with 3 goalies on the active roster?
It's a weird problem.
