GDT: Hawks @ Oilers 9pm ChSn 10/13/24

Vlasic is noticeably more offensive this year. If this continues. Look out. Contract could be insane value for a 1D and be the catalyst…

I think it’s already insane value. But you’re right, if he keeps playing like this it opens so many other avenues.

I gotta think the only reason he gave them the sweetheart deal is because he’s from Wilmette.

 

[JaegerDice]

I’m so happy I kept my Teuvo sweater

 

[ytsejam]

I don’t know, are 18-19 year olds allowed to develop?

That's why I asked. He was noticeable in D zone in a good way. I only got to listen to 1st half last season on radio at work.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Why didn't that phony Swede get a penalty when he pushed Brodie into his own goalie ? Skinner almost as phony as the Flopping Swede.

The Blackhawks turned that phony Swede into Colton Dach and Samuel Savoie

Wrong phony Swede , Im talking Arvidsson not Janmark .

Yea I mean if Vlasic is going to eff around and be a 1D at 4 mill and change with the #7 and #2 picks coming through and with Jones. I mean this is gonna be another very fun ride.

And if he’s a #1D he might be one of the most unlikely 1D in recent NHL.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

We’re always bitching about how we need one of these young guys to turn into a 1D, but he might already be here in Vlasic.

Plus, he’s an Illinois boy so he’ll be easy to extend at the end of his contract.

You do realize he has signed for the next 5 years after this one right?

I am, I just want him forever.

Dude I was about to say it’s crazy we hit the lottery with our first ticket of the rebuild, but then I got flashbacks to all the Fallen top 4 D prospects and now I’m thinking… well shit maybe we were due.

 

[Drumman44]

And if he’s a #1D he might be one of the most unlikely 1D in recent NHL.

If someone said he’d be a 1D when he was drafted they would have gotten raked over the coals

“Oh so he’s Marc Eduard Vlasic’s cousin that means he’ll be a 1D? Get over yourself”

So in that case it’s both highly unlikely and also stupidly obvious? Idk

Definitely one of them.

Forsling has turned into a 1D and that was very unlikely.

Before that maybe Toews and Slavin?

 

[Drumman44]

Poked around in the Oilers post game thread and saw this. Nice to see other teams taking notice of our front office’s plan

 

[Taze em]

Definitely one of them.

Yea, forsling. I mean forsling at least flashed in a big way at the WJC. Vlasic had 20 points in 3 seasons at BU and didn’t even make WJC.

Slavin was a WJC guy and mildly productive in college and wore an A as sophomore.

Toews had 30 points in a season in college. Vlasic 20 in his career.

 

[Kevin Musto]

The nuttiest thing tonight was the power play scoring 3 times

when was the last time that happened?

Great game, imagine having Kane with Teuvo and Bedard this year, woulda been fun to watch, maybe next year.

 

[Styles]

Lol. Having legends on the team is against the rules around here. People fumbled over themselves to explain why Kane didn’t get a new contract. Davidsons excuse why he didn’t get a contract was even dumber. Kane and Bedard would have been magic and you can’t tell me otherwise.
