Prospect Info: Grand Rapids Griffins Discussion

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

Bummer, 4-3 SO Loss... 7 game winning streak snapped

29 Saves for Cossa
2 Assists for Simon

It was fun while it lasted.

Back to SeBUSTian again…

 

[Holden Caufield]

The Berggren - Kasper - Mazur line emerging late in the season is awesome on so many levels.

Kasper the gritty, two way Center. Mazur the hustle/forecheck/glue guy with excellent finishing abilities around the net. Berggren the creative offensive player and playmaker.

Great makeup for a line. Hopefully we see them together on the big club one day.

Yup that's the best part - doesn't take much imagination to see that line in Detroit (biggest question is probably whether they keep Berggren)

Berggren - Kasper - Mazur
Edvinsson - AJ
Next year kids line in Detroit

Ill eat my hat if that happens.

 

[lilidk]

Ill eat my hat if that happens.

It's all depends of preseason performance

 

[Henkka]

Could think Danielson is nearer to steal a forward spot.

(with Berggren and Edvinsson)

...other kids will stay down.

Looks like the end of the McIsaac era in Grand Rapids.

I think this is the right idea. Time to move on, There is sufficient depth and the younger Defense prospects are playing well and have shown more.

 

[cvaicunas]

So for someone who's an idiot, does a move like this require consent from the player as well? Or is there an agreement between leagues for this kind of thing.

Its a mutual deal, you cant force a person to move across an ocean.

I don't get Twitter at work, but assuming you're talking about McIsaac, it appears to be a player option based on whatever is in his contract. Since he's not on his ELC, he cannot be assigned to Toledo without consent:

and Europe appears to be a player option:

which kinda makes sense since there's a lot of Euros in the league now. Even though Jared isn't European, it still seems more appealing than Toledo, lol. Aside from being an ECHL team, the last time I checked, the city is in Ohio.

Yea I thought that would be pretty drastic without consent. In that case, good for him. Swiss league is talked about highly by former players that I have listened to.

 

[Rzombo4 prez]

I will take who cares for $500, Alex.

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

If you aren't going to make the NHL, the Swiss league is where it's at. Very good pay, very little travel, and a relatively high level of play.

 

[heyfolks]

I don't. Gimme Hedman and an Osgood quality guy all day every day. Over a Roy/Brodeur and what... is comparable here... borderline HOFer... um... Schneider? Seabrook?

If you control the ice, you don't need a superstar goalie. See Red Wings, Detroit.

A world class defenseman is more impactful than a world class goalie. I think a lot of people get confused because a bad goalie is far more impactful than a bad defenseman. Steady and good enough is fine in a goalie. If you want to control the game, you take the defenseman.

Take Hasek off of Buffalo and give them Hedman. They never sniff the division final, let along the Stanley Cup. Maker? Heck Lidstrom. How many Cups to Bourque win? You use Ozzie. He was surrounded by a world class TEAM. We are talking about ONE player. Edmonton has the best player in the League and another who is top 5-7. They haven;t won a thing. Finally, the best D man plays less than half the game. The best goalie, or the marignal goalie plays the whole darn thing.

 

[Winger98]

I'm also going to say that Ozzie is a HoF quality goalie. If we're talking about having a HoF quality goalie, and a more HoF quality D...yeah, I like that combo. Not so sure if the goalie is like Jake Allen quality.

And what did Hasek win alone? Nothing.

Skaters > goalies all day every day. If you're a good team the puck is in the other end over half the game...

He got pretty damn close.

 

[norrisnick]

He got pretty damn close.

Hill, Crawford, Ward, Murray, Kuemper, Niemi, etc... all got closer.

 

[HoweFan]

Kind of a strange one for the Griffs tonight. We lost 3-2 in 0T. We outshot Cleveland 42-29 and they get all three game stars. At least when we lose we’re picking up a point

That line combined for 17 shots tonight

Carter Mazur is coming

Has to be mutual. No way they could force a guy into a whole new country across the ocean.

It is still interesting as you don't see NA guys reassigned to a Euro team very often.

Yeah, noticed that.. 7SOG from Mazur, 5 from Kasper and Berggy each. Looks like they got goalied a bit.
