he wasn't terrible, he was fine, just wouldn't classify it as excellent. he played at a high level for so long mainly because of his high hockey IQ, which is also a strength of Ellis.

Yeah I never saw any issues with Kimmo’s skating, even in his later years. Ellis has always struggled skating but he reads the play ahead enough he can generally stay in front of it. I’ll tell you what he does better than anyone is that poke check at his blue line when opponents least expect it and are usually headed the wrong way. He’ll generate lots of odd mans for you guys with that. He’s also got a cannon of a shot, fast riser too.

Hey! You suck!
Well he had one, whether it is still there who knows. We didn't see much of it this year.
Anyone know how many games short Glass was of being draft eligible for Seattle? I'm wondering if 'Crim' as Patrick likes to call him, was planning on using his expansion-draft exempt status to bring his boy back in the fold all season?
It is curious that Glass had to be buried in the AHL most of the year on the fear that someone might submit a waiver claim for a fringe 4th-liner like Keegan Kolesar, who basically plays the same position and does the exact same thing that Ryan Reaves does.
And even after that, Glass could not crack the lineup over AHLers like Dustin Brown, Tomas Jurco and Gage Quinney. I wonder if things might have gone differently if Patrick was not having such a horrible year at the same time? Because Glass' draft status certainly came in handy as did Vegas' draft exemption in facilitating this trade.
After seeing how Francis ran his draft, obviously they would have drafted Glass or Patrick from the Preds over Jarnkrok had they the opportunity.

Eligibility has nothing to do with games played. It's based on your draft year and the number of pro seasons you have played. In Glass' case it was because he was drafted by Vegas.

This doesn't sound right.
Anyway Glass can still be assigned to the AHL without passing through waivers.

I mean look it up. Game eligibility is only about requiring teams have a certain number of Vets available. Whether you were draft eligible was based on the number of professional years you have played.
I've been over this a million times on the Preds board. Example Carrier was draft eligible and didn't play the minimum number of games this season.

I don't understand this trade for Vegas. It's weird they trust Patrick more than Glass to become a top-6 player. Glass has proven more it seems.

Not having to sit out over a year due to a migraine issues by itself proves something, no?

I don't think this is about believing Patrick is a top 6 C.
And Glass has yet to prove he can get back to skating at an NHL level after several knee injuries.

Odd that Patrick has not signed yet.
Seems like a very simple deal to get done.

All Glass has proven is to be less of a health risk. Patrick has proven more on the ice so far, even if he hasn't yet lived up to expectations.

I'm rooting for the kid, but I just don't see it. He was already kinda soft, and now that he's admitted the concussion issues he may be even more hesitant.

I'm rooting for the kid too and as long as the Knights put him in a position to succeed and he avoids the injury bug I believe he'll have a very good season .

The more PP time that goes to Ellis, Yandle, or Provorov, the more defensive assignments go to Ristolainen. Is that really the plan?

Maybe their plan is "Add good offensive d-men, have the puck, score goals. Then their lacklustre defending won't matter" lol.
Myers will likely be on the third pairing, he's behind Carrier and Fabbro.
That's how it seems is it?

What I meant was, Patricks deal should be straight forward....low cost and low term. Vegas cap issues are with other guys.
