Didn't Dorion call Wikstrand one of the best defencemen outside the NHL or something to that effect?
hehe I know you take a lot of crap but I respect that you stand by your positions, and you end up right most if the time anyway. I agree most of the time with you, except when size takes over tenacity for a player. Example, Pageau is small but plays with an edge, he won't have any problem playing in the NHL
Merry xmas too for you and all your family!
With the exception of Wideman they are all left shots, Ottawa needs to draft a couple of good right shooting defencemen. And with Karlsson & Ceci taking most of the minutes on the right side with Gryba also a right shot playing the bottom minutes, I'm not sure we will ever see Wideman in Ottawa unless one of those three get hurt. But even then with 8 defencemen on this roster I'm not sure any defencemen is called up from Bingo & if one is my guess is that it will be Claesson.And I think Englund is rated even higher. Could play now type of prospect.
Wideman, Claesson, Wikstrand, Englund, Harper - its a fair depth we have. And Borowiecki and Ceci are really young as well.
I get a lot of coal, so much in fact I could start my own third world sweatshop factory making polo shirts for all the frat boys on here.Except for little Timmy, he was a bad boy this year and is getting coal in his stocking.

Spezza trade renamed to the Nick Paul Trade
Congrats Nick Paul!
Does anyone have an update on Andreas Englund? I haven't heard very much about him since the hockey year started!
Dorion has talked about his start.
Based on what I've heard he sounds like a mobile defensive defensemen that makes the first pass.
#4 dman hopeful kinda deal.
Given his draft position, my expectation is 3rd pairing Dman at best. BUT, i have not seen him play yet, so . . . .
7th in D-man ice time for Djurgarden. I know he's young, but I'd like to see that a bit higher. do they typically run 4 lines over there?
He was taken higher than every Norris Trophy winner since the lockout (except Karlsson). Clearly a bad sign?He was 40th overall....We wanted to pick up a pick ~20 so we could take him

That is a very very interesting stat
It is.
(It means he will be a better player than all those guys right?)
Englund was our man, Murray tried very hard to move into the top 10 to draft him
