That should really help the scoring issues.

You have a better solution? Meier is on Jersey.

No harm in Canes developing some younger players since with a svetch injury our year is probably shot

They aren’t just going to give up on the season because Svech got hurt by playing 2 B-level prospects for funzies.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

I would like to see Rees get a shot. He would be an irritating turd that would be funzies.

Funzies is your opinion. Roster development matters longer term and an irritant like Rees is what the team may need right now.

 

[bobc222]

Only issue is that Rees has more trouble staying on his feet than Necas did last year.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Only issue is that Rees has more trouble staying on his feet than Necas did last year.

And more trouble staying out of the box and Svech did last year.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

And more trouble staying out of the box and Svech did last year.

4 fights and 2 game misconducts have inflated those numbers.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

They aren’t just going to give up on the season because Svech got hurt by playing 2 B-level prospects for funzies.

If Svech hadn’t been playing against those 2 B-level prospects for funzies he probably wouldn’t have gotten hurt. Rees and Pono are the reason the season’s in the tank.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

4 fights and 2 game misconducts have inflated those numbers.

yes, they inflated the numbers but my point still stands:

1) he's still in the box for those penalties (or someone for him)
2) Take away 40 minutes for those fights/misconducts and he still has 42 penalty minutes, which I suspect would be the most of any forward on the Wolves if you took away their fights/misconducts.

 

[Joe McGrath]

Roster development matters, but not to the coach. Unless he thinks those 2 players give the Canes a better chance to win, he’s not playing them. I can see why Rees would be appealing, but adding a rookie who takes a ton of penalties to the lineup is a great way to lose a series on special teams.

Plus, what kind of message does that send to guys like Aho, Burns, Slavin, Pesce, etc...? Guys that aren't planning on giving up on this season because of Svech's injury.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

I can’t take credit for this but had to share as it’s pretty funny. Actually looks more like him than Andrei

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

when he finally gets his shot he's going to be a better McLovin. And McLovin for all his faults was maybe the biggest reason we beat the Caps in '18-19. Nice to have a guy like that on the team.

I want to know whether the people who made these bobbleheads have ever actually seen the players.

The 18-19 team was our best team for handling the physicality of the playoffs. Just not quite talented enough.

Its still interesting went from that team to deciding to flip our philosophy of play in one offseason.

I'm curious why you say he's going to be better than Foegele. I'm genuinely asking as I have seen very little of him. Here's why I ask though:

Foegele is 6'2, almost 200lbs, Rees is 5'11, 172 lbs.
Foegele, as a 21 year old put up 28G, 46P as a 21 year old in the AHL, and did so with no PP time at all. Rees has come nowhere near that production.
Foegele made the team out of camp and was with the team the entire year before the playoffs started. Rees hasn't played 1 min in the NHL.

Probably unfairly as it's due to his style of play and size, I've always viewed Rees's upside as Brock McGinn.

If we're doing clumsy player comparisons, if anything, Pulju's floor is probably the Foegele we had here.

Floor? Right now, Foegele looks like he has way more finish in his game than Puljujarvi.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Floor? Right now, Foegele looks like he has way more finish in his game than Puljujarvi.

So you're saying, the Finnish needs to learn how to finish?

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Foegele averaged 14 goals per 82 in Carolina. Puljujarvi has averaged 13 goals per 82 in his career.

I’m usually pretty liberal with you and my likes but you’re making it tough here.
