Axel Sandin Pellikka Signs Three Year Entry Level Contract

[RedHawkDown]

Yeah I disagree.

XXX - Seider
Ed - AlJo
XXX - ASP

Seider 25 mins a night (PP/PK)
Ed 25 (PP/PK)
XXX1 20 (PK)
AlJo 20 (PK)
ASP 18 (PP)
XXX 12

Put your aces in their places. ASP biggest value is PP1. Maximize his ice time there.

If ASP is not better than Albert Johansson we are f***ed. And I like Albert.

Please just sign Gavrikov or Provorov, pair them with Seider and then run Prov-Seider-Ed-ASP for the next 7 years.

Personally, Edvinsson-ASP would be an offensive force. Both can skate with the puck and make excellent passes. Other teams would always be concerned that both players could start and finish a rush. They could recreate the meaning of "transition" on this team.

Yzerman's history as a GM, both NHL and national teams, is he typically has a L/R shooting defensive pairing. Although AlJo played his off-wing much of the season, that was likely by necessity, not by design.

Don't expect ASP to play with Seider. Edvinsson is more likely to be paired with ASP.

The coach determines who plays with who.

Obviously the GM has a lot of input, but Stevie is not the coach and GM, merely the GM. He gets the players, and Todd decides what to do with them.

Todd has done way too much as a coach in hockey just to have Yzerman handing him paper cliffnotes he must adhere to before every game.

It's quite funny, how Edvinsson-ASP would be more of "lidström-rafalski" and Johansson-Seider would be more "kronwall-chelios".

Anyways, great kids to have.

"How to deploy ASP, Ed, Mo and AlJo" is looking like it could be a very good problem in the future.

 

[datsyukfan]

wonder how aljo would do with seider

Honestly I think he would do great. I’m liking him more and more and more. He’s starting to handle FC pressure better, he’s actually really hard on guys in battles, and he’s very smart. Do I think he’s a top pairing guy? No, but if you wanted to say have 3 balanced units I could see him being very good with Mo, especially if MO’s usages gets a little bit easier with the other pairs starting to take on some tougher matchups

Justin Holl 72 games 6 points .... I'm sure ASP can get more points in 12 games.

And be a f***load better on defense

The scariest part of Holl's stats is the number of games played.

Why so durable... injure yourself please. (Joking... slightly)

No need for injury if he's stapled to the press box where he belongs. Send him whatever he wants to eat or watch on TV or spend time doing. Just keep him off the ice.

Ironman Holl of famer.

I would be very surprised if ASP starts in GR. This kid does not belong in the AHL.

Ummm, playing in GR tonight.

He also played the the 4th most 5on5 minutes of our D core. 6th probably be okay but 4th is a significant problem

 

[Oddbob]

I still think people overrate Aljo around here. I think he is a 3rd pair d at best.

 

[WF19]

Ummm, playing in GR tonight.

First assist on the powerplay tonight..

 

[Ulysses31]

Huge AHL playoffs for ASP, could earn his spot for next year

will be watching every griffins playoff game this year

 

[ColdToiletSeats]

(sorry if already posted)

 

[ItWasJustified]

First assist on the powerplay tonight..

Apparently also his first pro game according to the commentator, despite him having played pro for more than two years and having a pro championship title to his name.

Not when the team has Guss and Holl signed for another season, lol.

Here are ASP's shifts from his first game in GR

Yeah, ASP won’t be in GR long enough to become a resident. He’s too damn smart for that league.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

I'd be hard pressed to hear any convincing reason why ASP shouldn't take over Holl's minutes at the start of next season and increase his icetime from there.

Nvm holl asp will be and should be playing with ed. He's so smart there's no reason to hold him back.
