You still think Minnesota should have picked him over Boldy?

I'm thrilled with Boldy... would also be thrilled with Caufield. If Caufield stays healthy this is a very valid debate (personally, I'm happy with Goaldy)

Guess Big Billy G got that one right.

Point me to where I said anything about Boldy in my post.

You've mentioned it in the past.

You've mentioned it in the past.

I’m still looking for the relevance to the here and now… Are you insecure about Boldy? He’s a great player. You’ve got nothing to worry about.

I would love to see a 60 goal, 5 assist season out of Caufield. Would be hilarious.

Dumba with zero points in 8gp. I think we overestimated his worth for years, and underestimated how much playing with Brodin hid his faults.

I didn't ...

Would be absolutely nuts if he hit 60 goals. I’m here for it.

well im very happy with boldy and yes im glad we picked him over caufield. boldy is great w/JEE however he still needs a quality winger to complete the line and bring out his BEST! real ? should be IF we pick in the late 20's there are 2 undersized fwds who could be potential caufields. i personally want a large crease clearing D next summer.

Dumba repeatedly becoming a healthy scratch. After watching him in a couple of games, it's pretty obvious that he needs to hang up the skates.

Looking his stats over, he has become weirdly physical. His highest single season hit total with the Wild was 136 in '17-18, and exceeded 100 only three times in his Wild career. Last season it was 202, and this year it's already 17 in only 9 games, a pace of 154.

Dumba is very clearly playing a different game than he did with the Wild, even in his last (and worst) year here.

 

[NHL1674]

Stars have scored 14 goals in their last 2 games. We better be ready Saturday night.

 

[thestonedkoala]

With Montgomery fired and Boston in a tail spin, I'd go after Brandon Carlo as a top priority. Be good to pair behind Faber. Right handed defenseman.

Trade Heidt, Ohgren and a 1st at least.

Biggest issue is getting the salaries to line up.

Bruno's days as HC are already numbered, but he probably sped up the process by putting his team on the PK at puck drop, because he didn't fill out the game card properly. Who does that?!

Someone that gets arrested driving a golf cart drunk.

I seem to remember that happening once years ago.

Apparently Morgan Frost may be on the trade block. Scratched four games. Anyone think the Wild should kick the tires and see if he comes cheap? Only problem is he isn't big.

Well, if he's not big then he's not good, apparently. We want a "compete level" that's through the roof, and the bigger you are the harder you compete, because your body is taller so your level can go up higher. It's science.

I stand by it.....

Celebrini >> Bedard

Celebrini >> Bedard

I've definitely been more impressed with Celebrini than I have been with Bedard so far. Seems like the more complete and mature player.

I’ve never really been impressed by Bedard… yet. His youth is the only thing that earns him the “yet”.

Curious how Tomasino does away from Brunette, not insignificant production playing for Hynes as a 20-22 year old. Trotz turned Glass/Fabbro/Tomasino into a net negative in a few months, yikes.

Avs getting beat down by the Lightning.

Thanks, I needed some good news in the world of hockey.
