The guy I liked most in that draft class was Mittelstadt. IMO Buffalo rushed him into the NHL and messed up his development, but after they finally got their s*** together and put him back in the AHL for a while to fix his game he's started to come around. I'd love to see a "change of scenery" move, Mittelstadt for Cholowski.
-
Nah, give me Necas all day long over Vilardi.
-
Or those inexplicable years when he'd take like 7 grinders/depth defensemen. Take a look at that 2017 draft class. Woof.
-
When I look at this picture it's easy to focus on the shirt or the tattoos as visual evidence of his "don't-give-a-f***-ness", but the backward visor really is the icing on the cake. This guy f***s.

I'm loving the fact that we basically have a bunch of kids in the lineup right now and they're playing pretty even with some of the better teams in the league. The argument against bringing kids into the lineup too early has always been that they'll give up too many chances...and then they brought the kids into the lineup...and they didn't give up too many chances. For the first time in a long time I think there's going to be genuine competition for those bottom of the lineup spots.
-
FWIW, Pearson scored at a very similar rate to Veleno in their AHL rookie season despite playing significantly fewer (and definitely harder) minutes.
-
I think that's probably true, and not necessarily a bad thing when you're trying to teach really young players how to play the game properly. Better to drill the fundamentals and keep the freewheeling out of their game until they've learned when/how to take the risk. But as we attempt to round the corner and start being competitive again we're going to need guys who can ratchet up the intensity a bit. Tom Wilson can definitely ratchet up the f*cking intensity.
-
I agree with all that, but I mostly just want someone like Wilson because he plays like he's got a pulse. Our entire team (aside from Namestnikov weirdly) plays like a bunch of robots. I've said this before, many many times, but this team needs its own version of when Rasheed Wallace came to the Pistons. A little swagger would go a long way.
-
I want this guy on our team sooooo f*cking bad.
-
I'm liking Johnson/Eklund/Lucius with our first pick, and Mackie Samoskevich with our pick from Washington.

He's got pro-average skating, probably like a Glendening actually. He can keep up no problem, but I don't think he's blazing fast or anything.
-
Totally agree. Love this kid. He's Glendening with a little more offense. He actually scores quite well when you consider how little TOI he gets. He's also another guy I could see playing the "Tyler Bertuzzi" role on the wing if he can't stick at center. Big fan of Pearson.

I really like how the team plays under Blashill. We are playing top teams REALLY tough. Add Larkin, Bert, Fabbri, and Seider to the lineup tonight and we probably win that game. The system is good, the guys are playing the right way. We just need talent. -

Am I the only one who thinks we are going to be good next year? -
I think the Pronger comparison is more accurate. Despite the fact that Seider skates much better the rest of his game is comparable. Konstantinov didn't have the offensive chops that Pronger, or Seider, have.

I didn't see the whole game, missed the first period, but I thought he played fine. Had a really nice backcheck that definitely made me take notice. -

Hot take: Liam Foudy is a faster skater than McDavid. -

Seth Jones is soooooo good. He does everything at such a high level. Seider reminds me of Jones, except with massive hits. -

Don't worry. Veleno only Paniks when he has to play defense -

I like Panik-Veleno-Gagner as a line. Should be a good safe way to break the kid into the league by putting him with some solid vets. -

Missed the first part of the game. How has Joey V looked? -

Let it wash over you. Let acknowledgement of your superior intelligence nourish and sustain you. Look down upon those piteous Veleno slappies as though a God looking down upon a baby duck. Know your superiority. Live your superiority. Let Man-God Rasmussen be your guide. -
Yeah, he definitely isn’t going to win speed skating competitions but he keeps up with the play just fine.
