Official 2024-25 Utah HC Season Discussion.

NHLers are usually 22-34 years old. Most of them are having babies. They are baby having age. It’s standard.

Crouse had a baby this year. So did Valimaki, Kerfoot, Bjugstad, O’Brien and Cole.

We have a 5 umlaut defense. It might be a league-high.

Trying Hayton to get Crouse going.. wish him luck

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

How about we get them both going

Pretty sure its for D reasons, the Crouse/Hayton/Kerfoot line will get the toughest assignments.

Fanatics got the jerseys finally…

So what is wrong with the team? Is it just the injuries on D? Ingram and the team in front of Ingram have not faired well.

We still really need a 1C. But what else?

If Marino and Durzi come back to 100%, we would only have 3 out of the top 4 on defense.
And to put it into a proper perspective the "1C" is who can keep up with Keller and Schmaltz and play a good 2 way game. I'm still hoping that a more mature Doan can eventually play in that role. Hayden only seems as a make-do at the moment.
I thought Lindholm would have been great at that role, but the Bruins offered him slightly more money and a longer term than I thought he deserved.

Interesting take on Hayton and not saying you’re wrong by any means, but Bugs has centered line 1 for the last two games and while the team has been better off (more balance defensively) in that small sample size., Keller / Schmaltz have not been better off, imo.
