Good one!

Good one!
For a 20-year-old, I’m pretty impressed with the early results from Washkurak in Springfield. 10 goals in 22 games is pretty impressive for a guy his age.
Pre-KHL Sobotka was one of the best 3rd line players in the NHL at the time. Loved watching his game.Agreed. Someone suggested he could turn out to be a Sobotka type player. I'll take that.

Perunovich aged out and Kostin no longer qualified. You include those 2 and we would presumably be higher.Here are Wheeler’s prospect rankings for us. We slotted in at 24.[TBODY] [/TBODY]

Suffice it to say, he’s a lot lower on Dickinson and Loof than I am
Fun fact- Bolduc is French for Bokk.Here are Wheeler’s prospect rankings for us. We slotted in at 24.[TBODY] [/TBODY]

Dickinson, will depend on how much muscle he is able to put on. He is fairly thin and that could affect him at the NHL level. He likely doesn't have much of a read on Loof and I would put both Kessel and Loof ahead of Roberttson, whom I am a lot lower on at this point. Tucker is a bit high also. But, he is likely right about us being at number 24.
5-12 are basically toss ups for me, not much separating them.
For what it's worth...
T-Birds beat Charlotte tonight 4-2.
Alexandrov and Walker with a goal and assist each.
Washkurak with game winning goal on the power play. He now has 11 goals on the season.
Hofer with 29 saves for the win.

every time I see your name my brain reads ExcitebikeConsidering our draft position and trading away of picks, not a bad group.
Hope that Loof comes over next season. He plays Pronger-mean.

It was a cool game back in the day, so definitely a complimentThanks .... I guess.

Thanks for the update. T-Birds need to get their roster back and resume their winning ways again. This could be a start.
Washkurak is having a great rookie AHL season. He could compete for a roster spot in St. Louis next season.
Spent many a quarter on that one back in the day. Nothing like switching to Mr. Turbo!It was a cool game back in the day, so definitely a compliment
