In my opinion, he hasn't looked out of place. Hasn't had any high skill plays, but no major gaffes. I do twinge a bit still whenever he gets hit.I haven't followed these pre season games all that closely.
How has Turcotte looked? It doesn't seem like there's been much talk about him.
I'm pretty pessimistic about him honestly.In my opinion, he hasn't looked out of place. Hasn't had any high skill plays, but no major gaffes. I do twinge a bit still whenever he gets hit.
He looks solid and did make many good plays and was engaged along the boards.I'm pretty pessimistic about him honestly.
He had some great moments but is still a bit raw. He will be sheltered but will get 1st powerplay unit time with Doughty out.How has Clarke been this preseason? I haven’t heard a peep anywhere on any website or anything how he’s looking. Which is kinda odd because usually I hear non stop chitchat everywhere how studly he is/will be for a few years now on all sites
I thought forsure I’d hear a ton of chatter about him especially after Doughty went down with injury

I wonder all the time how many goals Fagemo would have had he been allowed to play another 2 seasons in Sweden then make his way to Ontario-LA?I do wonder how many goals and assists Fagemo would have if the Kings just had him stationed at the top of the circle for the entire power play like Ovechkin. He could play like 5 minutes a night for all I care.
I guess there's no room for one-tool specialists in the NHL.
Touché. I should’ve just said the additions “that summer.”the phrase was "added"
It could have made him a worse player for all we know. That’s the problem with this stuff is that we never know with anyone. We are all down on management so the inclination is to think that different decisions would definitely produce better results. Different? Definitely. Better? Probably a mix in truth.I wonder all the time how many goals Fagemo would have had he been allowed to play another 2 seasons in Sweden then make his way to Ontario-LA?
Turcotte and Bjornfot would have benefited staying in College and Sweden at least another year maybe 2It could have made him a worse player for all we know.

There are some obvious mistakes. Not leaving Turcotte in college for another year, bringing Björnfot over too early are two examples. For Fagemo I’m fit so sure, the things he’s missing don’t seem environment dependent. Byfield we will debate for eternity.
