2025 NHL Draft: Lose a ton for Porter Martone

[Bear of Bad News]

I reported the account. It's very sad that it's been allowed to continue, let alone exist in the first place.

If someone had reported it prior to now, it would have been taken care of.

Erie's last regular season game is 3/23, so Schaefer could potentially be done for the year.

Erie is probably a low seed playoff team without him, and could lose in the first round before he's cleared to play.

Hockey Canada usually "graduates" guys from U18 when they've played U20, but maybe they'll make an exception for Schaefer if Erie is out and it's the only chance he has to play hockey between his injury and the draft.

Is there any chance Sharks are interested in drafting Rimpinen at some point at the draft? He is D+1 goalie that is doing pretty good for Finland in U20 and seems to have nice stats in Liiga. I would be interested if he is somehow available at the late picks.

If he continues to play well, I believe some team will pick him up between 2-3 round.

We don't have a big need for a goalie prospect since getting Askarov, but could be interesting pick if there is no one better to draft at the spot.

He's looked good, but is he really only 6-0? Much like dmen under 5'11, the deck is seriously stacked against goalies 6'0 and under. Right now, it's what Saros and Wolf? I checked, Ned is also 6'0. Shesterkin, Ingram, and Grubbauer are 6'1 (as is Georgiev!).

In one of the prospects podcasts* I listen to it was mentioned that many teams have a 'don't draft below 6'2/6'3 limit)

Ivankovic is also 6'0, Andreyanov is 6'1. This supposed to be a pretty deep goalie draft, so I certainly wouldn't mind the team taking another goalie. Kirsch is 6'3, Korostelyov is 6'2, but Nabby was 6'0, and Speer worked closely with Wolf.

*Can't remember which unless it's Called up or SJHockeyNow they blend.

It's all for the best.

If @Hogde had been allowed to infiltrate this world, then @Hodge as you know him ceases to exist! Right now, we have @Hogde, but there is also Independent @Hodge. That's the @Hodge we know, -- Smurf @Hodge, Barclay @Hodge, DW Jr @Hodge, Bawdy @Hodge.

If @Hogde walks through this door, he will kill Independent @Hodge! A @Hodge, divided against itself, can not stand!

Faster, better defensively, marginally better international performance (projects to significantly outperform Smith’s WJC albeit with same line mates and PPQB who are an all a year older). Also, I don’t know this to be true, but BC fans claim their SOS has been really tough so far. Perhaps his collegiate production will pick up in the second half.

At most, he’s an inch shorter and by the combine he could prove to be the same height, though he is a bit lighter (again that may change by the combine).

I would say Hagens has been a bit worse than Smith so far and beating up on Latvia and Germany with a stacked line hasn't done much to alleviate the concerns about him since he had 0 against Finland and Canada. I'd want him to produce in the next two games at the very least.

Just put them all on ignore, who in their right mind would give someone that much attention.

Looks good to me sign me up for that top 4 pick! Our wins have mostly been versus teams that are not Stanley cup contenders other than New Jersey and that's also a game where we did not deserve to win at all (Blackwood carry). Don't get me wrong the games we have had have been very fun and exciting but I am expecting the team to have a very rough month which is absolutely FINE, 9 out of the 13 games are against true Stanley cup contenders.

In terms of the standings I am quite confident we will be bottom 3, I want bottom 2 though to guarantee a top 4 pick. I am only mainly concerned about Chicago and Montreal being lower than us when all is said and done.

Congrats -- You had us at 3-10, we were 2-10-1. SNOM-Dec (price is right rules don't apply)!

You've got us going 3-10 (0.230) for 6 points. It's dire but possible.

If we hold serve on our points% of 0.426 we should get 11 points on the trip (5-7-1). Beat every non-playoff team (UTA, STL, COL) and steal 2 games out of the remaining 10, gets us to 5. That would be a pretty solid performance.

Our last 13 games, we played 5 playoff teams and went 2-3 (0.400) - MIN, NJD, NYR, DAL, LAK. We got outplayed in all of those games but stole 2. So assuming we keep a similar pace to the last 13, we would project to win 4 of 10 vs. playoff teams and go 3-2-3 pace (0.563) against everyone else in 3 games. Which is... 12-13 points. 6-6-1 or 5-5-3 at best. This would be an incredible performance.

My guess is we find a way to 4 wins and 2 OTL's, or 5 wins. 10 points out of possible 26 = 0.385 and pacing between MTL and CHI's current rate. We'll see.

I was way too optimistic.

Haha yeah definitely a rough month but losing Blackwood+Georgiev starting many of the games definitely helped out my prediction.

No way I would have predicted our start in January so far, Askarov is a game changer and gives the team confidence to play hard in front of him.
