Wtf is this? Give the hyperbole a rest.

Ironic how you popped back up in the Wolves thread the minute Musty was injured.

I pop in time to time on every thread but good observation

Just saw Musty was injured. Feel horrible for him + hope it doesn't affect his development.

Wishing him a speedy recovery! Wolves have been on a tear lately!

What are people's thoughts on D, Nolan Jackson?

I saw him play a couple games last season & thought he looked great - was very high on him coming into the season.

Early in the season I thought he was playing good "safe" hockey and didn't stand out in any way - typically a good sign for a young defensemen not making mistakes.

In the games I've seen recently I think he has struggled.

Playing D in the OHL/CHL isn’t easy for any 17/17 year old. I agree with your assessment this far but I will say he is making the necessary adjustments and I find he is less noticeable and more reliable in his own end. I’ve seen flashes of high offence ability were he can lead and join a rush. I will predict once his comfort level and confidence continues to grow you will say a very good two way DMan..

He had a couple of tough weeks but once he got back into the lineup from being a healthy scratch he’s been much better in all zones.

The more I watch Bionda the more I see him being a real stud. May be time to give him the green light on some shifts, this kid can wheel. What are your thoughts

He can wheel for sure, it's more about learning when to go and when not to. Seen a few ill advised pinches.
