I wouldn't mind moving off Kampf if possible though. I like the player but not the contract

You do seem quite upset there, chief.
People are here discussing the play of our prospects. Just because you don’t like certain comments doesn’t mean it’s irrelevant. The only one whining here is you.

That's actually a very funny thing to say. I didnt specify a whiner, you just stood up and had to make sure you defended yourself because you thought you were the whiner.
Anyways, hopefully now that the games done (and we won 10-0 by the way) you can go do something else for a couple hours and come back ready for the leafs, then use the appropriate thread (game day thread) to do all the additional whining you feel you couldnt accomplish this morning.
I didn't see that yesterday or against the USA
people on here complaining about Poitras the Boston prospect.
Just been passing up a ton of open looks, most notably on the powerplay early on. Doesn’t seem eager to handle the puck at all, rather pass it off and stand infront when the opportunity is there to make a play.
Move on. There’s no need to be so upset over people commenting specifically about the play of Minten and Cowan in the leafs prospect thread.

Guessing you've never heard of projection, eh oldtimer?
All I said was this isnt a whiner thread. Nobody else wants this to be a whiner thread.

Imo these wjc narratives get overblown (for better or for worse). At the end of the day it's still a fairly small sample of games.
I remember people absolutely nitpicking Marners game to shreds during his last one, especially at the beginning of the tournament

Same with Knies, he didn't exactly cover himself in glory during his WJC
Thankfully a short tournament played with guys you don't know and haven't played with before isn't a great indicator of what you will be at the NHL level

It was pretty funny to see the talk about Knies, then him get invited to play at the olympics later in the season, then get called to the NHL after NCAA run was over. f***in hell of a year for a kid.
Edit: played another season in NCAA after his Olympics actually.

People really shouldn't get triggered regarding discussion of our prospects. Whether the discussion is positive, or if it's criticism, this prospects thread, has always been a place to discuss the games our Marlies, or prospects playing elsewhere have played. Many of our players, we don't often get to easily see the prospects play, and when we get to see them play in the WJC, it's going to result in additional discussion.
As @Menzinger mentions though, these are only a few games, a small sample that won't dictate the future success of prospects.
Anyway, it's great to see our guys playing for Canada, I hope that they can contribute well and that Canada wins. Good plays, or bad plays... I'll call it like I see it.

He had a great year, about the only time he didn't look like a sure fire top 6er was at the WJC
It made the main boards an absolute **** show for about 3 weeks

Honestly, what I saw from him then (and at Minne with Cooley/ Snugg) is what I hope to see a little bit of from Cowan in here. Puck hound who is really good at insulating top tier players. He clearly has the one aspect dialed in, hopefully he gets the chemistry with his teammates to start really cooking.

I am not making a long term decision on any prospect based off how they perform in this tournament. You would think the Leafs and Leaf fans would have that one permanently etched into our brain.

A perfect example
Knies last year he wasn't that good.

Would we be allowed to draft Allard since he is on the Greyhounds? Or was that just not allowed when Dubas was here? Asking for a friend.

I'm surprised some people are knocking our two Leafs prospects..I mean anyone is fair game but I'll be more interested in how they play against Sweden and the States and whoever they meet once the playoff rounds come along...These round robin games against weak teams are hard games to be fired up about... Also some players are more pro-style players than junior tournament types... I watch this tournament more with interest than scrutiny. I think both are going to be good pros regardless of this tournament.

Completely agree, Geekie isn't exactly generous with the puck. It looks like they have accounted for player strengths and weaknesses in the line construction.

We actually traded Konency for Bracco and Dermott and I said at the time it was a stupid move.
