Maybe NA Hockey really does have sources that timing is pretty crazy

Social media?
Real sources?
Now it’s up to Cole to maximize his future earnings.

I am hearing, yes, hearing, that a deal is done in principle. You can choose to believe me or not.

Soothsayer. Omniscient

So ........ what have you heard about Ehlers?

The apology line starts here.

I know you got a bit of a hard time with your earlier posts but you never know when someone has a source and I think you have proven that you did. Thanks for posting and if you have more I’m sure you will get a more receptive audience.

Listening to the voices in your head?

Well, that aged well.

p.s. Laughing at you, not with you.

Considering NA Hockey has a 2 year history on hfboards that is almost 100% Perfetti related, including some fairly obscure AHL and CHL performance references, it wouldn’t surprise me if they have immediate ties to the player.

As long as you're having a good time ... cheers.

If he does, then hopefully NA H can pass a message on for me.

WOw, lots of $ for a top 9!

$3.25 AAV is pretty affordable for a young top 9 asset.

Cole looking good so far in camp. Looks poised for a breakout season to me.

Starting to shed the ‘kid’ look and feel on the ice, to me, which is something that Lambert and Yager still show.

Thought I'd bump this thread, as we need Perfetti to cement himself as a top 6 winger, but the start of his season seems to have taken off where last season ended. What will it take for this kid with top 10 draft talent back on track?

 

[Moloch]

I'm not necessarily worried at this point but if he goes another 2 or 3 games with 0 points I'm gonna start getting skeptical

Last year, benching him worked lol. He lit it up when he got back in the lineup

I'm hoping missing some training camp has slowed him down a bit and eventually he gets back to how he played most of last season.

They need soome size on that line.

 

[Waterbuf]

Caught a decent amount of the Wild game as a neutral fan/fantasy owner. Ehlers/Names/Perfetti line looked disjointed. Perfetti himself looked like he was running around and always behind the play a little, it just wasn't flowing.
I'm also hoping he's just behind because of missing training camp.

he lit it up for 1 or 2 games and then back to invisble, small and slow!

They need soome size on that line.

They need a driver on that line, none of the three can drive the play as all three are complimentary players IMO!

I'm hoping missing some training camp has slowed him down a bit and eventually he gets back to how he played most of last season.

You mean how he played from October to the end of December right!?

Didn't last season end with him scoring 2G in the final game, or something like that?

So far, I'd say he has looked worse than he did during his slump. I'm chalking it up to missing too much of TC. His line has started to look better so I'll be patient for a while longer.

They need soome size on that line.

Funny that they didn't last year.

But I wouldn't mind putting Vilardi on that line and either Perfetti or Ehlers moving into his spot on the top line. Neither line has been working as they are.

How did he go back to invisible since the season was over?
