I’m curious to hear what Seth says on Locked On Wild. He’s been beating the Beckman should get top 6 minutes drum for a bit.

I hesitate to say this lest it be interpreted as complaining by some, but it is generally a good idea to give top 6 style players opportunities in the top 6 where they're more likely to succeed.

I'm excited to see if Clarke can do anything in training camp/preseason.

Given how the middle 6 wings did this past year, I think it’s a heavy indictment on how they feel about Beckman since he was not given a chance over Johansson.

Yeah I'm not losing any sleep over Beckman specifically not being given that opportunity. He didn't exactly excel in top 6 ice time in the AHL either.
 
Not sure if this has been posted or not.

No bueno. Had no idea the guy was still living locally after he retired.

That's my angle. Even though he never lived there, maybe Brandt is pining for the shores of Lake Waconia, and is choking on the smog in LA?:thumbu:

Hey don’t be mean about the smog

At least he has company.

I never understand people who just want to give players top 6 minutes as an experiment.

Guerin already tried Rossi for Gauthier. Wouldn't be surprised if he tried again. I would be surprised if Winnipeg went in-division though.

Is that confirmed?

That's what I hope our GM would be willing to do

Yeah I don't really understand the refusal to trade within division most of the time. You're giving them a piece but they're also giving you an equivalent package or piece (if you're good at trades). It evens out and you get something you like.

I could understand in a situation with Gauthier or McGroarty if you have to trade the player and you don't think you can get something as good. In Guerin's situation here? Don't see it as a problem.

I still don't love the idea of trading Rossi for a winger before we even know if Yurov sticks as a center in the NHL, but if they're going to trade Rossi for a winger, they could do worse than McGroarty

Is McGroarty a winger? I've seen him listed as both a center and winger.
