Guess thats another good thing for broberg at 6'3". Molendyk is smaller too. Overall our defensive pipeline is diminutive

Livingstone is huge and can skate. Fabbro at 6' isn't small it's probably average or close to it, same with Statsney. Molendyk is 6'1"
Ideally for me, I'd have Josi, McD, Fabbro, Statsney, Livingstone, Lauzon.
Molendyk is listed at 5'11" on Capfriendly. Did he hit a growthspurt?
Edit: preds website has 6'1". Multiple scouting reports have 5'11". A couple have 6'0" and one or two have 6'1". Height is really something that isnt exactly subjective... youd think they could have that figured out.

Well considering he is 18 and still in what can be a normal growth window, it is possible he has grown since the scouting reports were created.
Lol i guess just because the only significant growing i did after 16 was from the stomach out doesnt mean that is typical of everyone

Broberg is supposed to be more of a skilled puck moving defenseman type even though he’s big though right? To me the problem isn’t necessarily size but more not having enough physical D in the pipeline.
You are probably right here. Chistyakov plays a pretty physical game but im drawing a blank beyond him for the other prospects

We couldn’t miraculously salvage Myers or Foote… sometimes guys are just too far gone or weren’t going to make it anyway. I’m not signing up for another swing at the ball when have Stastney, Del Gaizo, and Molendyk already looking so good on LD.
No need to spend time on somebody else’s mistake again. We had more room this year to give that a try up front with Foudy and Fagemo, but they didn’t pan out either. Usually when a prospect ages out and his team gives up on him there isn’t some miracle around the corner. Tolvanens are rare.

Fagemo wasn't given up on by the Kings. He was the 13th forward on a team that had cap space for 12 so they tried to send him to the minors and lost him for a few weeks. We didn't give up on Tolvanen ... injuries hit, cap hell ensued with the blueline callups, and Poile chose to option him to the AHL rather than put Boro on LTIR (Poile's own comments clearly stated they weren't giving up on him but trying to sneak him down as he thought Tolvanen would clear). Foote was a give up by the Bolts and a toss in to make the cap hits work out so they could trade draft picks for Jeannot ... and a player we then gave up on and let go for nothing.

After an Avs fan posted about RyJo in the former Pred thread I went and read the Avs GDT last night and hoo boy.... there are posters calling for them to blow it up and rebuild, ship out their starting goalie, trade/dump multiple players.... all while sitting in first place in the division and losing a 4-2 game to a team only a couple points behind them.
I guess we here are more level headed than I realized

Hey! You suck!
Even crazier that depending how the guys above us play the next several games we could be right in the thick of a top 3 spot in the central.

We’re the best team in the league since Nov 15th.

The test is between now and New Years. Canes x2 , Caps x2 (both on the back side of back to backs), Canucks, Stars, Wings, and rematch of last night at Flyers .... none against the bottom 5-10 teams in the league.
Since Nov 15, the Preds are 3-2-0 against teams currently in a playoff spot. We gained a lot of points on teams currently languishing in the bottom 10 including two wins against the currently last place Hawks. Eeking out wins against the Habs and Hawks is great for the standings but the overall level of play needs to improve to keep any positive momentum over the next couple of weeks and remain in a wild card spot come 2024.

It do be nice that we have built a nice buffer between us and St Louis, Seattle and Minnesota.
2nd line has been quiet since Novak has returned. I think that line needs a change of scenery...maybe move Parsinnen up and have him swap with Evangelista

So move the most productive 5on5 player since November 15th, on that line off it?
No way Novak needing to get back up to speed could be the problem.

Maybe its because I didn't take the Novak jersey out of the closet after his return.

I'd had a prior commitment and so wasn't watching in realtime. That may be all that saved me.
