A few years ago the Canucks took a Finn with a late pick, and reports said his grandmother was in the bandy hall of fame, or something like that. I picked him as a dark horse because of the blood lines, and now I can't remember his name.
Palmu?

I think you're thinking of Adrian Elefalk, a Swede who they invited to summer dev camp. Aside from his Bandy star grandmother, his dad was one of Sedins' agents.

Yes! His grandmother was Ann Elefalk, who entered the Swedish bandy hall of fame in 2014.

I would never have been able to come up with his name.

He's now an assistant coach with a junior team.

Not saying we should entertain it, but the Hronek injury got me thinking--are there any precedents for NHL teams pulling players out of college mid-season?

Nothing really stopping them from signing, but it's fairly rare. Jack Lafontaine left Minnesota mid-season a couple years back due to Carolina having tons of injuries in net throughout the organization. Kyle Okposo is the only other I can really think of - he also left Minnesota mid-season to sign with the Isles back when the program was a bit of a mess there for a minute.

hutson and gallagher work so much better together than hutson and willander and boumedienne has looked pretty rough lately. i dunno who else that leaves for willander to play with. frechette i guess?

Good point

I honestly would just go Willander Celebrini, and it’s still solid

They were about 12 games last year and have done it during games this year as a fall back

Rock that top 4 and let the the bottom become a complete liability and shift the rest of the trash in and out

boumedienne Is the youngest player in the NCAA ….. and you know what? He looks it.
