been good?

i assume the silence means he has been horrible

I think he’s played well.

 

[GAGLine]

He's been good, exactly what we hoped he would be. He doesn't get as much attention though due to Rempe.

What if teams start to challenge Edstrom like they have with Rempe? I know Edstrom is a physical forward, but has he ever fought in playing hockey?

You'll get ejected for fighting in Sweden so I doubt he fought there. I don't recall it happening. I also don't recall him fighting in the AHL, although he may have.

Either way he's not a fighter. That's not his game. He's not even super aggressive with the physical play; more of a strong, tough guy who will pick his spots. There'd be no reason for other teams to come after Edström.

No, he doesn't fight. And he's much more disciplined than Rempe because he went through this whole process at age 19 in the SHL, with multiple suspensions for elbows to the head.

Edström is a more reliable player than Rempe. In every facet of the game.

He somehow has no points in 5 games. Even carrick has a point (goal).

it's that damn Rempes fault

All of our even strength woes are as well.

 

[Raspewtin]

I like him a lot

he's just so disruptive. his stick, skating, and body positioning makes it really hard to be forechecked against. he has some good synergy with Carrick and Brod too

 

[chosen]

Looking forward to him moving up the lineup.

He certainly will...watch out Kreider-Cuylle .

Looking forward to him moving up the lineup.

i like Eddy but what makes you say this

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Panarin - Chytil - Laf
Kreider - Trochek - Smith
Cuylle - Edstrom- Kakko
Vesey - Carrick - Zibanejad

Ideal lineup

 

[chosen]

i like Eddy but what makes you say this

He's big, fast, and doesn't have hands made of stone, other than when he punches.

 

[Raspewtin]

I like him because he plays NHL hockey. Play the body, have a tough stick, get pucks deep and beat defenders, cycle, play with the puck down low. Amazing concept. I wish our other forwards could take some notes.

i hate to invoke a david quinn-ism, but Adam doesn't cheat the game. It's so refreshing to watch

The Panthers entire bottom 6 is guys like Edstrom and Cuylle and Im glad we are developing some of our own.

sykora, berard, chmelar, laba. guys who can move and will make you earn every inch.

Rempe and Othmann are probably the most overtly physical forwards in the organization

Rempe and Othmann are probably the most overtly physical forwards in the organization

as well as excellent proof that overt physicality is not to be conflated with on-ice effectiveness.

And Roobroeck who, albeit in a small sample size, has already surpassed McConnell-Barker for now.
