HFBoards is doing server maintenance Thursday March 13th at 9 AM GMT 5 AM EDT. Downtime is to be expected during the process. Server changes were implemented recently to cope with the traffic surge last week. This seems to be affecting the user login, so please anyone experiencing this, log out and clear the browser cache. We expect to have this issue solved once the maintenance is complete.
Yani Gourde out, Jani Nyam in
Sounds like he is going to be on #1 PP and in top 6. A nice opportunity from the coach

He looked really good. He gets his 9 games and will likely be sent down for the Firebirds playoff run.
If he can continue playing this way for the next 8 games, the roster spot on the Kraken for next season appears to be his to lose.

You are not alone!
But as he scored 26 goals as a 19 year old in Liiga last season - the most by any U20 player in like 40 years - he for sure should have come with a lot of hype!

He is leading the AHL in scoring for rookies as well. I think the Kraken fanbase being small is probably why not more of us talk about him. One of the questions around him was speed but I think he has average skating.

Kemell has seemed like a slouch in every NHL pre-season, like he doesn't even want to be there, so I'll go with Nyman for now. Also Kemell's wildly inconsistent in the AHL.

What do we see his potential being? Good middle 6 winger that is also a regular on the PP1? I think the main thing holding him back is his skating but he seems to have improved upon it since his draft year.
I would say his shooting package is definitely very high-end. One timers are hard and accurate. Wrist shot is quick, heavy, and accurate too. In Coachella he was money in the slot and I saw himself find good routes today too so looking forward to seeing how he does in the next few games.
