From the reports i’ve seen since he got drafted, and from limited viewings, Harrison has a very bad coasting habit and is very bad defensively.

Haven’t watched Prov at all this year—is this the case?
If so he should be a proud Mariner and figure out how to play with more ice time. If he costs and gets benched for it in the ECHL next stop is Ryan Spooners linemate.

How has Regula been? Just looking at his stats doesn’t look like much for offense, but see he is a +9. I feel like the Bs could use a big tough RH D. Any potential there?
I think this is one of our sneakiest prospects. He has a wide open opportunity to take the 3RD spot and I hope he gets the opportunity soon. He has the size and skating to take away time and space and he has a skill set...27 goals in a single OHL season is insane. Leading the team in +/-

thoughts on his play recently? seems like he turned a corner in several areas.
happy thanksgiving, bud - thanks for all the details on our guys!
When he plays to his strengths he's very dangerous
Still on occasion tries to showboat and dangle and looks amateurish in doing so but they've done a good job in limiting that, I think he's in a good space right now,looks like he's bought in
Happy Thanksgiving to you

People either love his upside or thinks he can't process the game quick enough, he is a very interesting prospect

I find it interesting that the rest of the d-core outside of Renouf are all minus. I've seen they play together on the 1st pair, could it be elevated due to being with the veteran?

I had hopes that either Mitchell, Walsh or Regula would be able to hold down the 3RD position. Mitchel has underwhelmed me big time at the NHL level....which leaves the other two. Do you think there is a chance with either?

Renouf has been solid, Regula has been able to draft some + stats out of it, but he's not being carried by him
Walsh can't defend so he's out
Still got a ways to go though

Is Farinacci legit or what? Yotes appear to be looking rather silly letting this kid walk for nothing, no? Is he playing center mostly?

This is a good thing ... what plot?
With Brown in the mix it will no doubt (negatively) impact the top 9 - but who from that list do you push down/out? Ah the plot thickens…I’d be happy to see something like this for the upcoming weekend - but still think Kuntar should be playing higher in the line-up!

Richard. Farinacci. Lysell
Boqvist. Merkulov. Megna
Toporowski. Brown. Brazeau
Kuntar. McLaughlin. Hall
Abate. Harrison. Arseneau

Lohrei. Walsh
Renouf. Regula
Brunet. Callahan
Wotherspoon. Zboril

I'd like to see 1 puck mover per pairing
Lohrei Regula
Callahan Walsh
Brunet Renouf
But that won't happen
These are great pairings too, and make good sense. I hope Brunet can somehow find his way into the line-up consistently. Not sure it’s in the cards though…

Yes,unfortunately they're forwards
Eric excluding the higher end prospects, and try and project out 2-3 years, who from the current roster do you think could play some NHL games, but would be a surprise to most at the current time?
I’ll start with D - I think Brunet is going to play in the Show at some point.

Excluding the top guys if Toporowski can get his shit together he'd be one
Regula two
How about Zboril? Everyone has him dead and buried
