Modern day Adam Graves.

He better than Graves, but in less of a bull in a China shop way.

Different styles, but I think CK is more effective and longer lasting

Get me Evander Kane in the next two weeks …

Can he play RW, can we get SJ to retain 50% AND find another team to retain additional money??

If not, pass.

For this season, they should look to add Pavelski asap.

EDM may have had a case for a challenge, assuming it’s allowed there. The goalie may have touched the puck outside the trapezoid.

And if thats the case, the goal should be allowed anyway. Imo
Its his f up, own up to it.
So.....Edm. coach would challenge so that THEY get a penalty instead of a goal allowed. Something sounds screwy with that scenario
They need to simplify many of these things. Too much of "this is NOT reviewable, yet another scenario is." Who the hell can keep track of all this? This is what soured me on FOOTBALL. Pass interference, bobbling the ball, no possession/ one foot in/out etc. Ugggh.

Amazing what happens when Laf gets to play with good players

He def looked different/better with Strome and Goodrow. Like he "belonged". Had a purpose, linemates gave him a purpose.

I'm getting tired of Chytil.

Poor kid is soooo lost. He doesnt know who he is. Absolutely zero confidence. I truly am elated for him when he does score. Kids face is contagious and I NEED him to do well. I'm not giving up, nor should anyone. I mean, what happened to him? Wasnt he supposed to be a goal scorer? A force? NHL is tough, he has to be quicker and handle the puck better. How? Me know know.

No interest in moving prime assets for pieces that are not core for half a decade or more.

If the Rangers want to beef up they should be investigating what they can get for seconds and thirds.

Yup...that is also an option and put the money we have as extra to use and retain our top assets for a quality deal and not just a rental .

Oilers head coach doing everything in his power to get Miller away from McDavid . Must be a big boost for KAM.

That was brilliant by Galant, shadowing Miller after McDavid. Miller has speed/size and the reach that can stay with McDavid better than anyone on the team.
Truly brilliant. I'm telling you guys right now and I've been saying this k'Andre is going to be a star, just like my avatar! I'm a poet and I didn't even know it!

Defense is really shaping up, but getting a little crowded.

For me, it's the choice between Nils and Jones. I've been really impressed by Jones so far between camp, Hartford, and his last 2 NHL games. Thankfully, both are 21 and we have some time. Advanced stats for both are a bit ugly at the moment, so we'll see how that goes.

Nemeth is an odd man out on defense. Hajek has been serviceable for significantly cheaper.

I have been a big proponent for Chytil, but he is starting to concern me. If he's not producing, I'd like to at least see a bit more in terms of defensive play, and he has some bad puck luck, too. At some point, you want to see some things go his way, but it looks like he's constantly fighting it.

He's big. He can skate. He has offensive ability...he just can't get it to click.

Low IQ player .....will never get it .
