2024-25 Roster…too soon?

[ColbyChaos]

Yep.

Dickinson is having a good season, but his situation isn't too dissimilar to what Korchinski's was during his D+1 season. Left shot D with decent size and skating who is putting up points in the CHL. Not old enough for the AHL next year, so will have to either play another year in the CHL (hardly developing) or spend that time just trying to survive NHL minutes. I think it's funny when he's touted by many on HF as that club's future 1D at this early stage of his development.

They have no Lev. No Rinzel. No Vlasic. They have Mukhamadullin (had to look up that spelling) who is having a rough season in the AHL as a 23yo. They've also got Cagnoni who is putting up points, but is only 5ft9 (maybe 5ft10 these days). Most guys that size don't end up like Quinn Hughes or Lane Hutson. Sharks have jack shit on the right side in their system; and RHDs are some of the hardest pieces to acquire. There is no RHD in this draft either that would likely make a big impact for them there.

They beat us with regards to forwards. We've closed the gap, and maybe even surpassed them, in goal with knight. And our defense of the future is way more impressive than what few pieces they have there.

Knight was already further along in development last year than Askarov was this year. We are comfortably ahead in goal which is nice

For what it's worth, it doesn't change your overall point too much, but Mukhamadullin has played well since getting called up five games ago. He was hurt for most of the year.

Well that solves that “problem”

Mrazek's last start was Khudobin level bad.

 

[CallMeShaft]

It sucks for Mrazek, but it's a business.

Would love to see him moved in the next day or so, but doubt it unless we find a team that is desperate for a goalie and has a guy with a similarly bad cap hit for the next season or two.

Happy to see it's Knight and Soderblom though. Hopefully a duo we can rely on long term here.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Well that solves that “problem”

Glad they have the balls to make that decision
