"Nutrivera", I take it, is still getting used to NA ice. Lots of bad plays.

Nuti is experimenting.

You only need to take a look at the barn in which these are played and you can see why this is not the 'tournament' to review the only pro in the team no more than the previous one right after the draft. That is one horrible drop in competitive sense.

What are you talking about? You said Cam just recently found his way. Meaning, he just started being good. That is not true.

I tried to support my opinion with fact. (5 years of development followed by 3 productive seasons). I don't know how to explain it another way. You disagree - okay. I'm not above changing my view. To accomplish that please point out how I have this wrong.

Wings fan here, but have a secret man-crush on the Bluejackets.

I'm hoping Dubois is going to be the player the Jackets project him to be. Glad to hear he had a noticeable first effort in the tournament.
So far, it sounds like his transition from LW to C has been pretty seamless.
I hope so. Passing up on Paajarvi was huge. One scout felt that he was the most talented player in the entire draft, including over Laine and Matthews.

I think they thought that with the third overall pick you could do better than selecting the next Pääjärvi, perhaps more familiarly known as the Young Ermine in these parts of the HFboards.

Unless he has a severe drinking problem, Puljujarvi is going to be really good. We knew that before the draft.

The question is if PLD is going to be good or if we accidentally drafted another 2nd/3rd liner at 3 overall.

Can we add a beer league goalie from Traverse City mid-tournament as an FA invite?
After this loss Peressini put his ass at the bench till end of the tournament. FA invite? We have affiliate team in beer league? I never heard.
Anyways Michael Houser will come to our training camp as PTO.

On a slightly off-topic note, any thoughts on the blue helmet with white jersey look from last night's game?

I, for one, liked the contrast.

Dubois puts Sonny on the breakaway, and he blows it. I keep finding myself wanting more from Milano.

Who are the other 2nd/3rd liners that we drafted 3rd overall? :sarcasm:

You said he just recently found his way. Was last year his first good year? If not, he didn't just recently find his way. Now, if you want to say it took him a while to find his way, fine. I disagree, but that is your opinion. That is completely different than just finding his way though.

Well it kinda was Atkinson's first good year when he played 'complete' game.

No beer league goalie and we expected win. Does anyone know how the point system work in this round?
