Around the NHL 2024-25 regular season Part II

[Goptor]

So like a non-conforming softball bat, an old Miata that is no longer road legal because it is specced out for racing and an iPhone 13? Yes Patick you'd be running after that.

That stuff isn't exciting.

He was offered info on who the new James Bond actor/actress will be.

Krutov, who was drafted by Carolina in the 7th round, is scoring his 4th goal in 9 games in KHL as D+1 player.
I hoped we could draft him as early as in the third round.

I really hope Fitz will start to turn his forward draft strategy around. He is wasting picks for players without potential for some specific bottom line roles. The problem with his strategy is going from the fact that big guys with talent and skill are drafting by teams in earlier rounds.
From his 5 drafts he wasted tonns of picks for Stillmans, Hausers and Browns and the only one who was really promising - was Bardakov. And it looks like he is going to join Colorado. He was drafted in 7th round and he was wasted in the trade for McDermid.

Fitz should start to draft for potential. I dont care if player is from Russia or not. Its just easier for me to find good players in later rounds with potential because I have easier access for video materials of local guys. And the truth is that players with higher potential are available for drafting in later rounds.
More often they will not turn into solid NHLers but as a prospects and as assets they have some price and weight at least.

We have no talent in AHL, no talent in NCAA(outside one young promising goalie), no talent in CHL. Time to draft for talent and ceiling. It was a time all that time before. No matter how small player is. If we will find our Stankoven or Bratt - no one will care about his height.

Bardakov or his agent spoke?

Bardakov or his agent spoke?

I heard it from guys who is close to organisation. Will see how it will go.

There is a really good hibachi place near my brother in Coral Gables. I wonder if Vitek will check it out.
