It is really common, especially in Europe.I didn't know you can GM a pro team and also scout for a NHL team. Cool.
This explains so much.Another one?
I wonder which gig is more lucrative, especially given the tax slant in SwedenI didn't know you can GM a pro team and also scout for a NHL team. Cool.
I will always remember how Bednar threw Ranta into that Vegas series in what could have been the first of two Cup years. I get why he did it, but it's wild to think that this guy played playoff hockey for us and since then barely got a sniff at the NHL level and is now in Europe.
Makes you wonder about our young players and Bednar.I will always remember how Bednar threw Ranta into that Vegas series in what could have been the first of two Cup years.

It would have been better if they had skated with it but I get where you are going with this.Never let it be said that Bednar doesn't give young players a shot. It's too bad he (nor Newhook) didn't take that opportunity and run with it.

Lmao what.Makes you wonder about our young players and Bednar.
Also why do all our dmen regress. Pratt has to go.
Girard , Makar , Toews and Byram all regressed somewhat from the time they 1st came to the Avs.Lmao what.
What a take… lolGirard , Makar , Toews and Byram all regressed somewhat from the time they 1st came to the Avs.
Pratt is taking away there dynamic attributes it seems.
Pratt was a plug. Perhaps the Avs shoupd get a different style of d coach.
Ok wrong thread hahahha

I don't think that's arguable. You have it or you don't.I said it for years prior to Ranta even getting signed... he's a hockey dumb dumb. His physical skills were always great and I'd have to look back, but he was one of my top non-USDTP USHL players that year. The knock was always will the brain come around? It just never did. Every single physical tool you could want in a NHLer, but zero idea how to apply it. That's not on Bednar or any of the staff IMO. Hockey sense either comes or it doesn't... arguably either you have it early (mid teens) or you don't have it at all.
Well, even players who don’t “have it” and stick in the NHL usually find a way. In fact I’d argue that until the Stanley Cup year they had a lot players who were high on talent and a bit lacking in awareness.I don't think that's arguable. You have it or you don't.
He could use his size/speed to drive net and it was enough at that level. He's not big enough or fast enough for that game to be effective at the pro level.Well, even players who don’t “have it” and stick in the NHL usually find a way.

That said, maaaaan Ranta was just lost on day one. How did he manage so well at the NCAA level!?
