WC is running and we have 5 players in Riga. So far our three czechs (Zadina,Vrana and Hronek) have a hard time, only 2 points after three games. Zadina 1g, Vrana 1g,1a and Hronek 3a. Team Canada with Troy Stecher(no points) lost the first three, the last 1-3 against Germany and Moritz Seider. Seider (2a) checked Team Canada the same way he checked the SHL. He´s just a mean machine, at least ten hits (there was some ingame hit-highlights of #53). No doubt he will be a lock in the top 4 on day 1.

Somewhat concerning tho. If he isn't the next Pronger/Chelios/Webber out of the gate, how fast before fans turn on him?

his cap hit is $6m. capfriendly shows less because he´s on the taxi squad

All I know is the Mantha trade has left me wanting more Yzerman trade crimes. Throw Bertuzzi/Fabbri into the mix and make another multi-piece masterpiece. #TeamDGAF

Washington's pick for Louie Ericsson and 9OA? No? Throw in Cholowski? No?

I've been saying this. He's the Gretzky to Draisaitl's Messier. Draisaitl does all the hard work. For instance, in a triple OT game last night you know how many faceoffs McDavid took? Eight. Draisaitl? 35. Nugent-Hopkins? 21. Draisaitl WON more faceoffs than McDavid even took, and Connor is supposedly the superstar 1C. Lol. I've also mentioned McDavid's zone starts before. He's starts in the offensive zone 62% of the time. Draisaitl, 54%. It drives me absolutely crazy how overrated McDavid is, and how underrated Draisaitl is. I've said before that McDavid isn't even the best center on his team, let alone in the league and I stand by that. I'd honestly move him to Nugent-Hopkin's wing, let Draisaitl center the top line, and hope that as Broberg, Bouchard, Yammamoto, Lavoie, and McLeod come online they'll flesh out the top six and first two defense pairs (along with Nurse). I genuinely wouldn't bother with McDavid at center. He's just way too limited at that position. Put him with a responsible center and he'll score just as much and you could probably get him on the ice MORE often without getting scored on.

Sorry pal - this isn't the NBA.

We are gonna will that Cossa pick into happening

The first E stands for ELITE
