Damn, didn’t realize Tage was drafted after Stanley. Kind of hindsight that makes you want to claw your eyes out.

That can be said for every team that draft except CGY/MTL/BOS. It is what it is, happens every single draft.
So he's still a piece of shit.
I think Perfetti will be elite. I don't think 30 70 100 is beyond his potential, and if Lambert develops into the scorer we think he can be that could be a lethal combo
Yeah no doubt in my mind. He has been elite at every level he's played at and has always taken a while to learn the game at that level before he really hits his stride -- don't think the NHL will be any different.
He's 20, has played less than one full season over 2 years, and during much of that time was serving up 2-3 chances for every one his linemates took while working hard all over the ice. He's playing on a strong line now with Rejuvenated Scheif and Fountain of Youth Wheeler, and not looking out of place.
He's a young hockey player with a very, very high ceiling, which is exactly what it said on the box at draft time. I'm a very long way from being disappointed in Cole P.
And yeah, he's going to be dynamite with some of the talent coming up. The idea of him with a fully-flying Lambert and maybe a Rutger Roar providing smart playmaking and puck retrieval in the centre is pretty enticing.
couple difference b/w scheifele and perfetti's rookie year that i see:
- scheifele was legit playing center and had a combo of kane and frolik mostly (also prime-wheeler and halischak) i think Perfetti has a better linemate mix with current iteration of Scheifele who has been undoubtedly our best fwd imo, Wheeler (although older & not as good as 13-14), or PLD. I reckon he will be getting a look next to KC at some point too.
- scoring is up considerably..... PPG this year is roughly equivalent to 71 pts in 13-14, as well as overall goals per game being up evidently
i think perfetti has been good this year. 40ish-50ish pts was my estimate of a good rookie year for him, he's playing at a 54 pace right now so slightly above where i was thinking. definitely in the run for the Calder, i think Beniers is #1 right now, and then some assortment of thompson, perfetti, or Quinn to round it out.

I agree with this, but I still expect he'll transition to center at some point. He has the smarts and game for it imo.

Campbell has had a very rough start in Edmonton, there D core isn't very good, and their forwards don't defend all that well. They are very top heavy and they will continue to be in the mix due to McD and Drai.
I believe he has the defensive awareness. and willingness, to play center. I guess we shall see if that is in the cards at some point.

Oilers' Puljujärvi unsure if his place is in the NHL: 'Maybe I just don't have it'
In a wide-ranging interview with Finland’s national broadcaster, Jesse Puljujärvi told the veteran reporter Tommi Seppälä that he isn’t sure if the National Hockey League is the place for him anymore.
Sad to read. At this point he just needs to be out of Edmonton and with another organization where he doesn't have the 3rd overall pick expectations hanging over his head. I see him in Columbus, Carolina or Florida next season.
Agree. He thinks and plays the game like a centre no matter what position he's playing, and on both sides of the ice. I actually think he'll create and score more as a centre but that move likely takes a few more miles on the clock and a leap of faith from the coaches, and maybe a drop down the lineup.
How long did it take Roslo to get a good run at C? Obviously he didn't stick here but I think Cole is a much stronger natural C now and going forward, especially as he gets stronger and quicker.
Hard to say as Moe isn't the coach any longer. I think a lot depends on if Scheifele and or Dubois stick around.
If the Oilers had a Hellebuyck in net, they'd have a few more wins...they'd have a +28 goal differential!

A superstar goalie never hurts. Helle has been such a joy to watch this season (when I have had time).
It's hard to know what letters to double in a Finnish name. Is there a rule for it? Juusi, Antti, Kaapo, Mikko, Saku, Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen...good lord...
Well hard to make that mistake when you have google on every device on the planet. Copy+paste is your friend.
Leaves get back to back shutouts from Murray and Samsonov. both have been real strong this year.

What they never tell you is that while Winnipeg's wifi may suck, Calgary doesn't have the internet at all!

NHL Power Rankings: One word to describe each team's 2022-23 season
Two new teams enter the top five, while the Avalanche take a big tumble. Plus, we get into the whole brevity thing for all 32 clubs.
Good! Every once and awhile I get to catch some games. Really loving this run we are on. Team feels different than it has before. Got my garage up before winter hit. I can't complain about much these days.
How about yourself?
