I hope you just have a really dry sense of humour…
Tomasino is a really good hockey player and I see many 20 plus goal seasons.

I hope I am wrong..the guy just doesn't look like he has that dawg in him


Evangelista's got that dawg in him

Agreed. Evangelista will wear the “C” one day.

Evangelista plays with more fire in him but it doesnt mean Tomasino cant be a good player as well. More than enough room for both on the team. I hope tomasino doesnt fall into the trap that he has to distribute the puck to forsberg and realizes he can shoot it himself.

I dunno, if you asked me after 2021-22, obviously Tomasino would have been FAR ahead of Evangelista. The guy was doing great in very limited/sheltered minutes for a full season in the NHL. It's just impossible to really gauge what kind of effect Hynes had on him. He seemed to get "tentative", adopt a "walking on eggshells" approach that simply had never existed previously. He got massively screwed up by a bad coach last season is about all I can conclude. How much of that was truly him and how much the coaching problem is just impossible to determine. We're going to have to get a clean slate next season under Brunette to have any idea where Tomasino is at now. Which IMO was totally unnecessary and annoying. But that's the price you pay when the GM doubles down on an obviously bad coach.

Yeah I don't know why for some people it seems like because Evangelista/Parsinnen were so much better than expected last season that it means Tomasino got worse. I think that Tomasino definitely seemed timid at times and I had high hopes he would truly break out last year, but he still scored at a 13g-34a pace in the NHL last season. His 5v5 goal scoring rates were down but other than that he improved basically everywhere else statswise.

 

[triggrman]

Tomasino needs to learn to use his assets more to his advantage. He, like Fabbro, need to use his speed more. He needs attack with his speed he’s likely the fastest forward on the team

He's interestingly remained low on Evangelista compared to most other.

Any comments from him about why?

 

[jumb0]

Well, he contradicts himself a bit.

"The only issue in Evangelista’s game is a lack of great footspeed but it hasn’t seemed to hold him back too much against men. He looks like a solid middle-six wing"

Interesting list but I guess that's Pronman for you. Kind of funny that he had Kulonummi as his surprise inclusion at #6 last season and then he's completely absent this year.

 

[Armourboy]

Just another guy who doesn't know anymore than anyone else. He's guessing as much as we do.

 

[herzausstein]

Thing that kills us with Pronman's rankings is that we dont have anyone making a large NHL impact that fits his age criteria. Player must be 22 or under as of a certain date.

Parssinen, Tomasino, and Chistyakov come off next year leaving only Evangelista as the only NHL player. Meanwhile, Chicago will be a top 10 staple for years by virtue of having drafted Bedard.

 

[FromChaos22]

Are you guys not higher on Kemell than that, or in comparison to the others at least?

 

[Flgatorguy87]

He was our 2nd ranked prospect amongst our board members...and got several 1st place votes. If you look at the thread below you will see the consensus rankings for this board.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

Probably even more than we do, since he likely doesn't follow our guys as closely as we do.

 

[ShagDaddy]

Ufko named captain

 

[AintLifeGrand]

Ok hear me out: I know they are different positions but….

In their respective draft years:

Cale Makar:

2016–17

Brooks Bandits

AJHL

54

24

51

75

Aidan Fink: Brooks Bandits: 54 gp 41 goals 56 assists 97 pts

Both are #Shortkings (makar only an inch taller) yet Fink outproduced him… Makar is really a 4th fwd, so what is stopping Fink from realizing 60 pt upside? Skating?

Pls discuss

 

[Predsanddead24]

Pls discuss

You know I think I'd rather not.

 

[Soundgarden]

No

 

[ShagDaddy]

You been hitting that crack pipe pretty heavy today….

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

The Fontaine-Fink-Knak line is going to dominate the league. Can’t wait!

 

[PredsV82]

Haven't you been roasted enough yet? Your thread about player intelligence on the main boards was pretty cringey

Ahhh, you totally beat me to the punch Porter! Hahaha
Dying! Lol
