Addison cut. There goes one of the players we “addressed “ our depth with

Hyperbole? Some seem so sour these days.

Yeah wow too bad they have to cut him because the 7th overall pick is leading the team in scoring and knocking down the door.

Sad.

He was on a PTO, not really a key piece towards addressing the depth, not that anybody was arguing he was...

I didn’t watch Addison play much. I was told some things about him. And told staios addressed the RD depth. I am genuinely shocked. Some people watched him play ALOT in Minnesota and Sam Jose

Okay man

I mean, it seems like you're the only one arguing he was the key to addressing our right side, despite us having 4 RHD on NHL contracts along with Guenette and Mantipalo in the AHL along with Yakemchuk getting drafted 7oa busting down the door

PTOs are always long shots to make the team, but hey, why let that get in the way when you can make misleading jabs,

Wonder if we'll be active on waiver wire for rd depth

I would think that the emergence of Yak has taken a bit of that pressure of finding RD depth.
I guess were getting to the point in all training camps where they are making the final cuts and will see some interesting names popping up.

 

[TheNewEra]

yak is the biggest surprise in terms of that he actually looks nhl ready now

gregor surprised me with his speed, will be a solid asset with that speed

Only if they're keeping him for the year. Otherwise, it's a sign that Hamonic and JBD looked good enough that they didn't need to keep him around.

I though JBD had a strong camp, and Hamonic certainly looks better than last year, I have no issues with them being 6 and 7.

Yak looked great, and while I expect they'll send him back, it bodes well for the future.

I think a lot of people ignore how much the forwards play into how good the D will look. Back pressure slows guys through the NZ allowing D to maintain gaps easier, giving your D more than one outlet option makes it easier for the D to move the puck out of the Zone. Guys like Sanderson can do it on their own but most D need support and if the team gives it to them we'll be fine.
