Player Discussion Tyler Kleven (D) at 44th Overall (Sens traded up)

  • Xenforo Cloud has upgraded us to version 2.3.6. Please report any issues you experience.
In hindsight I wish we swung for the fences(high risk/ reward) with one of our 2nd rd picks and drafted Poirier. Draft him and develop him as a forward.
Poirier may wind up having to play forward to play at the next level. He is so bad defensively.
 
I must say he’s very methotish. Which I guess is the cliche comparison for players with no offense who are taken relatively high with good defence. But. It’s true. I really think he’s earned the coaches trust or is at least well on his way over doing so. Maybe we could see him on the second pair when Sandy (copyright) is at the wjc

I thought the world juniors roster was set. Did someone get injured?
Nothing set, they don't need to have rosters in for another 2 weeks. It's only the World Junior Camp, 30 players invited (including Kleven) playing for a spot on the 25 man roster.

I'd imagine they are replacing a player, Seeing Kleven got the invite makes me think Thrun or Vlasic probably, either they needed Kleven to round out numbers for the camp (not sure that makes sense) or they see Kleven having a role on the team.
