Also, how is Lundell ahead of Faber? One is a top pairing dman and the other is a middle 6 center.
I somewhat agree, but Lundell has been an integral part of a Cup Champ, has played way more NHL games, and is off to a great start this year. He is also a guy who's worth you don't measure by counting stats alone- his defense is vg, and his FO's are now 55%, which is fantastic for a young C.

I would take issue with other players being ranked ahead of Faber before Lundell. As of right now, i would say that they rank equally, though i can see Faber having the better overall career, when it's all said and done.

I never got the criticisms of Lundell during his draft year.

Yurov having a bit of a slow start in KHL, only on pace for ~30 points, about 20 less than last year.

On a positive note, his faceoffs have improved to 52.9% compared to 45.2% last year.

thats a bummer, i was hoping he'd come here next year and light up the nhl!
He still might. He had an off-season injury and had a late start to the season because of it. The lack of scoring may be a sign that he isn't quite as good offensively as we thought, or it may just be a slow start after an injury.

I've been trying to ease expectations on this since last year. He put up a lot of points, but if you watched the games, he wasn't a standout, star type player. Steady, reliable, good player, but didn't stand out. Kinda like Rossi last year.

I doubt they have that much trade value, better to just wait and see if they pan out.
Agreed, especially for ROR. It would be a disappointing prospect for disappointing prospect trade, like the Beckman for Clarke deal. At this point, it's better to hold onto them and see if they develop on a later timeline.
