it's possible Stancl commutes to NA from wherever they rapidly improve players, but there are three games in a row a lot of the time so that's why I suspect not

Watching Fischer for now. He just had a nice offensive chance I liked the way he moved at the top of the zone. He's a fast skater. Needs some mass on the frame before he will have a real chance at the next level but the size speed skating and meanness is obvious as of now
He has definite two way game to him, jumping up in the rush. It's his first step or two that need work. he is very fast once moving, and as the period ended a good example of good gap work and defense. Captain. Multiple chances at points that period

Are these Pacific time or something? I'd like to watch Stancl but my stream says it's not starting yet.

Yep his game is in about 75 min. Mrsic and Jecho in about 15
Another benefit of Snuggerud getting a call up at the end of this year - we’re going to be reaching full saturation with the number of simultaneous rookies that an NHL team can absorb without losing some physical maturity and competitiveness. We might see 3 or even 4 rookies next season.
Does anybody else see a big trade coming in the next few years. I mean simple math just says there are not enough top9 spots.
So lets say Saad does eventually move on. That leaves you with Thomas, Kyrou, Buch, Holloway, Neighbours and Schenn locked in as top 9 spots going forward. That is 6/9 spots being claimed. That leaves 3 spots for Bolduc, Dvorsky, Snuggerud, Stenberg who have NHL potential all over them and then add in longer shots like Stancl, Kaskimaki, Pekarcik and more. Over the next few years things are going to get real crowded, it's a good problem to have.

My theory is that someone could get moved in a package for a top line forward or high end RHD. I’ve always had the feeling it’s gonna be Bolduc(or Snuggy if he doesn’t want to sign).
Stenberg has the skillset to start on the fourth line, and it feels like by the time he’s fully ready for top 9 minutes, Schenn could be trending to where Steen ended his career. Very high end 4th liner, but average to below average third liner.
Imo, Stenberg spends most(if not all) of next season in Springfield. Could get injury call ups if he really impresses.
i think Bolduc, Buchinger, and a pick end up getting moved for a RHD before the end of next year.
What kind of RHD do think that brings though? I like Bolduc and think he has a future in the NHL but there are still questions. He hasn't exactly exploded on the scene this year. He is only 21 and has a ton of runway, maybe a trade for a RHD prospect with similar upside?

Burns' team stormed back from 5-1 down to win 6-5 in OT, he had an assist. Jecho has a primary assist in the first against Prince Albert
Now Mrsic scores

It really depends on how high of a pick we are willing to trade. If it's at the draft and we trade our 1st I think we can get someone good. Tho I'm expecting a middle pair defenseman to pair with Broberg

Yes, I have mentioned this before. Even within the LW position, we already have Buch, Holloway, and Neighbours there already. Where is Stenberg gonna go? We could shift Holloway to the middle (provided he gets better at faceoffs) but where that does leave Schenn or Dvorsky? We could shift Neighbours to the right side but where does that leave Kyrou, Snuggerud, or Bolduc?
Someone's gotta go in 1-2 years. I can see slow growth in Bolduc, but he will need to take a significant step forward next year or I could see him traded, especially if Snuggerud starts scoring early. It goes without saying that Schenn will need to be traded as well, and hopefully Thomas gets the captaincy either next summer or the one after.
I wonder if we could put together a package for Nemec from NJ. They are a competing team with two RHD locked up in the top 4 for years to come. They also have a need for net front guy who can score. As much as it would hurt could a package around Neighbours + get them intrigued.
Internally we have Stenberg who projects to be a similar player to Neighbours and adding a high end RHD to our defensive prospect would really level out of prospect pool.

Stancl scores. Already a goal and an assist. Mrsic with a goal and 2 assists
Stancl's assist was great, he held the puck in at the point and took a big hit and made a play. About halfway through the game. He's great
Stancl scores again. on the PP. Near the end of the second period. It was 2-0 Priince George and 3-2 Prince George and he has tied it twice
Mrsic had a 4 point night 2+2 (didn't see it)
Stancl 2+1 through 2 periods (watching it now)
Jecho 0+1 (didn't see it)
Fischer 0+1 (watched some)
Burns 0+1 (watched some)
Ralph (watched some) no points his team lost 2-0
Snuggerud no points they lost 5-1 to Ohio State
He's pretty dominant at this level, I really want to see him in the AHL
LOL I hope the clip that will get posted has the Kelowna PBP guy's call, "whoop-de-doo, Scubaroo!" type direction to it. "He's havin a night!"
Stancl picks up his second assist 37 seconds in, 4-3 Kelowna. Points on all 4 goals.
Then Kelowna scores 9 seconds later unassisted, it's 5-3
Stancl and Mrsic have combined for 4 goals, 4 assists and 2 vowels tonight
Now Stancl stands up for a teammate immediately on a questionable hit
Crossbar away from a high quality third assist
Stancl steals the puck comes in 2 on 1 and just misses the hat trick
Now he's got it HAT TRICK 3+2 for Stancl tonight. Their radio guy: "This is a world class player. Let's call a spade a spade! Jakub Stancl with a bit of a smile on his face. Not a big one, that's not his style."
Almost got another assist.

The math doesn't work only if they all/most hit Top 9 development. Even if a bunch hit, there is a huge benefit to having a couple top 9 guys on the 4th line like we did with Barbashev (a younger guy) and STeen (and older guy) in 2019. I don't want to count our chickens before they are hatched and end up short a Top 9 guy either.
I definitely hope we don't trade guys to clear room before it is needed. If a deal comes along that works, then you make the trade. But projecting out prospects for 3-4 years down the road can backfire.
Yeah but we have a lots of kicks at the can to get that guy and that's if we don't add anyone else through FA or a trade in coming years.

Stancl just completed the hat trick. 3 goals and 2 assists so far with time still remaining as well. This is certainly going to help quell the narrative that his production is merely a product of playing on a line with Cristall, who got traded a couple days ago.

Just a huge night for Stancl. 5 points, hat trick, 2 assists.
Stancl cleared the puck out of the d zone repeatedly.
Crossbar and a post kept him from 4g+3a
[Here's hoping the "balance" shows up, to point out the turnovers they didn't like and maybe when he comes up from South America next year he might on track to one day be a bottom 6er]
