Don't stand for the Hawks. Stand for Kyle Beech.

Sullivan doesn't know how to work with young players, especially young forwards. He gives them absolutely no room to make errors and the second a young guy makes a mistake Sullivan benches them and then scratches them while he lets his no talent vets continue to pile up poor play.
Watching Nylander play the few games he got it, it looked like he was playing to not screw up which pretty much negated any offensive ability he has.
I still think if he got in a spot where was given a little more room to play his game it could carve out a spot on a offensively oriented third line somewhere.

Good for him! I was always rooting for him to carve out a decent NHL career after the bust label.
I think this was a good trade for both sides.

Hat trick tonight with the EN goal. He's played well too. Short sample size but he's doing what he needs to to get qualified

As a Penguins fan, I feel like I should know but, was he not allowed to wear 92 in Pittsburgh? Is that unofficially retired for Tocchet?

no, Vokoun was the last to wear in his time here, just for some reason they never really used it or have anyone ask for it, just like nobody was issued or asked to have 35 post Barrasso until Jarry got it.

Kid must be happy to be out from under Sullivan's "everyone under 29 will be a grinder" style.

You guys should trade him while the irons
Maybe a team that misses out on Guentzel would sell a 1st for the leagues hottest goal scorer? Worth a shot

I think Vincent is just really trying to instill a "play smart hockey" kinda mentality in Columbus and as long as someone is doing all the little things right, they will get playing time. And so far at least, Nylander has been doing all the little things right.
He's not perfect of course, but he's looked more useful than Bemstrom was in the lineup.

Wouldn't it be great if Kyle Dubas got fleeced in a trade by a team without a GM?

Wonder if the Columbus fans hesitated to throw their caps after Alex hatty, they must be worth a bus load of bucks on

I think there is an unwritten rule that players dont take a number higher than Crosby's. Its never been confirmed but not many have done it.
Not a bad effort.. might need to wordsmith it a bit.
Also, Sillinger had a hattrick in January.
