Let's just say that he hasn't made a good case, so far, for another team to trade assets to get him, and to pay his salary in addition to that.I’d rather have a physical 2 way player that plays his ass off than Tarasenko. I’m done with his lazy ass. No wonder nobody wanted him.
Were his goofy point shots today better than they were last year? Can the dude learn not to be a puck hog beyond the opposing red line?"Keep watching." I know what Walman is. I'm talking about this, specific game, not some theoretical character sheet for him or a projection for a 25 year old.

Early returns are not encouraging.
As a cap team, would you rather have Lindell at 5.8, or Scandella at 3.275?
Braves will take that series, they are a underrated team. Dodgers are lucky that Shildt handed them a free pass to the NLDS.In other good news for America, and therefore the world, the Dodgers lost.
Like I said, keep watching. I hope he proves me wrong and becomes a good player for us. Someday maybe he'll quit hogging the puck any time it's his in the attacking zone.You have not discovered a cool bit.
Wasn't he sent down to Springfield? I was sure that he was sent there a few days ago.Kostin played tonight?
Lindell's advanced stats are worse than Scandella's. The Dallas fans I know hate him. Have you watched this guy beyond his games against the Blues?I don't think they're comparable. Lindell is a large commitment, but useful. Scandella is both overpaid and not useful. Like, Tarasenko is overpaid rn, but I'd still much rather have him than Sanford...
The Good:
Kyrou & Buch are exactly what we need off the rush
Perron's still got it
Binnington is a wall
The Bad:
Defense
3rd line
Tarasenko doesn't look like he has it.
He was called back up when Sunqvist was put on the IR.Wasn't he sent down to Springfield? I was sure that he was sent there a few days ago.
He was technically sent to the AHL, but it was just a "paper" move before they put Sundqvist on LTIR at the start of the season. I don't think Kostin ever actually went anywhere or left the team.Wasn't he sent down to Springfield? I was sure that he was sent there a few days ago.
never left the team , only a paper move once sunny went offWasn't he sent down to Springfield? I was sure that he was sent there a few days ago.

That said, I'd love to see Kostin in over Neal. Thought Neal looked really bad tonight, but maybe it was just a poor match up for him against a fast team like the avs and he would look better in a more grinding less free wheeling game...
im with you , the kid has played what 4 games in 3 years ? give him a * * * * ing chance maybe something clicksHe was technically sent to the AHL, but it was just a "paper" move before they put Sundqvist on LTIR at the start of the season.

Ahh yes, the advanced stats are indisputable argument. Remember when Eddy and Bortz were advanced stat darlings?
Neal is barely an NHLer at this point. He's still a better option than Kostin.
Were they though? Bortz is smart at most aspects of the game save for taking dumb penalities. He must have a connection with Perron there.Ahh yes, the advanced stats are indisputable argument. Remember when Eddy and Bortz were advanced stat darlings?
i watched no preseason but heard neal scored a hatty ... tonight nothing ? bozak and barbie cant hold the fort ?Yeah, as much as I want the kids to play, I also want them to earn it. Forcing a guy into the line-up when he hasn't warranted it rarely has great results for our play or their development. Same with Perunovich,
