I’m sure Danielson “did a lot of great things” but wasn’t rewarded with any points.

His lack of production is annoying, but nothing to be alarmed about.
Obviously if next season he’s still not putting up points there’s cause for concern. But we aren’t there yet.
We need him in Detroit, not Grand Rapids next season. I am hoping to see a jump in his play. It's still early, so I am hoping he starts kicking it into high gear.

He doesn't get alot of respect, but Jimmy Howard was a very good goalie prospect (and a decent NHL goalie until he discovered Donuts).

If Cossa discovered donuts he will be even bigger in the net
I don't disagree there. I think he was great for us, and he got a lot more hate than deserved.
I just think Augustine and Cossa will be better

True, it's possible. If I recall though, Howard was considered a high end goalie prospect and pretty respected around the scouting circles in his draft year
He is also third all-time in our 100 year history in goalie wins. I think we hit a home run with him.

Yes Howard doesnt get the respect he deserves. Jimmy suffers from the same issue Cleary does. They hung around for 2-3 seasons too long and that tainted fans memories of them.

Howard was a solid pick and a very good player for us. But I also hope these both turn out better. We got Howard at 60 and didn't have to trade up to do do. So draft value should/hope they become better.
So has it been two weeks now for Mazur? Wallinder still not playing. Husso not on the game sheet. They have lost Kasper for good. The Griffs are holding up pretty good considering

Tough loss. The Griffs got too cute on a lot of plays where they could've buried it
Cossa played well. Lombardi solid play with a goal. Becher IQ is good but he's gotta get faster and stronger because he doesn't have a ton of standout physical tools
Danielson is fun. Makes a lot of underappreciated offensive plays cause he's very cerebral. Driving the puck to the high danger areas too. Getting PP1 QB time too and I'm happy that Watson + co. are trusting him already like this because he's doing well with zone entries and QBing. I believe the points will come just like they did for Marco last year

Becher just had knee injury, so give him some time

Brilliant assist, was an absolute puck hound that shift. From all report that’s what he’s been like all season, just been unlucky with the points. I’ve said this a few times but I honestly think he’s going to be a late bloomer, and I hope it’s with us and not elsewhere. He has all the tools.

Thanks for the report. Nate's skill set, as you outline, is why I thought he could fit right away. Kane, Tarasenko, Cat, Raymond are the top 2 line wingers. Any of that combo he will work within as he is a set up guy who thinks the game well and plays the entire sheet. That helps the offense, but no questioning Kasper brings more grit.

Usually means there will be fights lol. When the kids are there on school trips is when the Griffs have had some of their best brawls

Or maybe it's the new way they defend. There are shots, but not very dangerous and most importantly control rebounds
