and epic break-out season for Rasmus Dahlin too. if he finishes at 90+ pts (on pace for 92), he'd be behind Orr, Coffey & Potvin for the highest scoring NHL season as a 22 year old Dman.
What the heck are the Canucks going to do about their awful defense in the next couple years to improve?! They have one possible franchise defenseman in Hughes, but after that is there anyone in their current lineup that would comfortably be a top-4 defenseman on a decent club?
Rathbone was drafted 6 years ago I think so at this point I doubt he projects as more than a #5 or #6. They don't have any other legit good d prospects from what I see and as we know even a good top-4 prospect can take a minimum of 3 years after they are drafted before they are ready for the show.
Maybe they trade Boeser for a decent d prospect who was drafted a year or two ago? I'm not sure there will be much available in free agency this summer.

I actually prefer that Minnesota loss as it increases our chances of solidifying playoff spot

Every time I look at those standings, it blows my mind. Dallas 10 OTLs to Winnipeg's 1. Forgive me for thinking I like our chances of escaping the division.

Another angle of that is that Dallas is good at taking games to OT but terrible at 3v3, which doesn't happen in the playoffs.

You know exactly what my rebuttal will be -- Dallas has been insanely lucky in coin tosses thus far, and come playoffs, that mean's ripe for the regression
But yes you are absolutely correct, 3v3 regular season OT is *absolutely nothing* like NHL playoff 5v5 OT.

That’s pretty crazy. Scoring is up this season and I haven’t really had a chance to look too closely at Dahlin but that a quite the pace. I think it proves patience is important with young D men. Buffalo might have rushed him into the NHL but he has sure found his footing.
Just noticed he is pacing for a career high 232 shots on goal and he is sporting a 9.9 shooting % (which is a touch high) but still the trajectory of his career shooting volume is great, especially for a D man.

The Minnesota Wild have the top farm system in the league. That's without tanking and icing a competitive team that qualifies for the playoffs nearly every year. It just goes to show that you can draft elite talent if you have great scouts and good development without tanking for several years.

f*** the Wild they are basically the Leafs of the West. f*** up their cap so they can't get over the hump and get knocked out in the 1st round year after year. Rossi was selected ahead of Perfetti and I am sure no one would be happy if he was sitting in the minors if the player after him is in the NHL getting calder consideration

Avs lose and Minnie down 5-1. It’s a good thing Minnesota didn’t take advantage of these last three games. they could’ve been right up there with Winnipeg but instead they have lost two and on the verge of another tonight.

Whiteout Is Coming.
Who would have thought the Jets not playing for a whole week is winning.
Wow all the central teams are getting a beat down tonight.

Well hopefully we don't have to play against the girl friend she had a lot more fight in her than the Stars punk did.

Being sucker punched by someone 3x your size goes a long way into taking the fight out of you.

All of a sudden the Wild find themselves clinging to the last wild card spot in a dog fight with a pack of teams for their playoff lives.
