Too early. Should've been sent down as soon as the rest of the D got healthy again. But without hindsight I probably would've kept him up for 25 games too hoping he'd re-find that spark.

Nope, and not then either. I think all 4 players were introduced to the league probably when they should've been. Smith maybe a bit too early.

Too much talent > Not enough talent

Fans will be calling Jarmo a retard in less than a month now Losing multiple big time pieces, no cup, and no draft picks My dude Ur fired

Over-ripening is just a meme that the "Gibs me muh pruspects now" crowd has clung to. By and large most prospects make the team when there good enough to. Some even get their looks before they're good enough to. What year did Holland first utter the phrase? It was probably a year where we were stacked and there was no room to promote anyone anyway. Thus his "over-ripe philosophy" was spun.

Elliote Friedman saying Duchene will go to either Montreal or Nashville. Leafs trying to bring back Gardiner. Vancouver interested in Zaitsev. Arizona interested in Marleau. Lots of teams interested in Kadri. There's also a BS rumor from Don Brennan out there about Karlsson going back to the Sens or to the Habs. Don Brennan is a liar and a jackass.

I haven't read too much about him, but if that's what they're saying I'd agree. He's a physical specimen, but his ceiling might lower than some of the other guys out there.

I watched Cozens a lot this year. Lethbridge was a weird team because the team was decent but their goalies sucked. There were a lot of games where they allowed like 3 goals and the entire morale of the team seemed shattered. Like they were just waiting to get to the lockerroom. Cozens impressed me with his size and physical maturity for a young kid. But he never really left me saying "holy s*** this kid is gonna be good". Part of me thinks he's simply an early bloomer and that's why he's impressed so much, another part of me thinks he has an amazing tool box that he hasn't fully utilized yet.

Sulak signing in the KHL

Remember when the right wing had no sense of humor? All of your humor has become ours silly commie halfwits *manic laughing*

Czech Interview with Fischer (Rough google translation) Basically explains it's Fischer's job to explore the players who were never drafted but are still young enough to possibly make the NHL. AKA Kaski, Sulak, Rybar, Machovsky, Hirose, Kuffner, Dekeyser, etc etc. Fischer explains that part of what he's doing is creating internal competition. It's necessary to sign these types of players to also create competition within the organization, even if they never make the big club. Fischer says his long-term goal is to become an NHL GM, but for now he is focused on scouting. He and Yzerman have discussed what types of player Yzerman is interested in. Says Yzerman still commands a ton of respect in the room. People stop to listen when he enters. Some very rough translation when talking about Zadina and Hronek. Sounds like he legitimately believes Zadina should have been a #3 pick and praises Hronek's off ice character. Says the AHL tested Zadina mentally, but now he knows exactly where he needs to improve his game. Says Zadina must now learn to defend and win. Not worried about his development. The end of the article he talks about how Czech hockey is falling out of favor. Losing ground as a major hockey country.

Gets dropped off at practice by his MILF suburban stay-at-home mom in a fully loaded 2019 Cadillac Escalade vs. Gets dropped off by his uncle Gregor, who will die if his BAC drops below 1%, in a soviet era Lada they had to push start

Favorite player growing up: Amanda Kessell vs. Fav player growing up: Slava Voynov

IDK it's basically ugly abrasive Russian versus good looking sensitive North American AKA Ovi v. Crosby Which kinda player do we need more of?

Maybe they were never really that good and that's why they spent years in the minors

The Pretty Boy: Trevor Zegras Can only buy his shampoo/conditioner brand in a salon Avoids hits with ease, never gets injured All the newest/best hockey equipment Great passer, loves to work together and see his teammates score If he doesn't have anything nice to say, he doesn't say anything at all Unironically calls his GF "bae" Genuinely listens when you talk to him Says a short prayer before each game Eats healthy and maintains a balanced diet Cries when he thinks about how much he loves his "bae" Generally a nice guy Doesn't sweat, his hockey bag smells like febreeze air accents The Chad Fugly Guy: Vasili Podkolzin Cuts his own hair Spits into, or rubs dirt into, open wounds to heal them Still plays with a wood stick Trys to go coast-to-coast on every play Chirps at you constantly, refers to everyone as cyka blyat Views women as objects, still gets laid Does not register the feelings or emotions of others Takes a huge dump in the locker room toilet before each game Eats nothing but pizza, junk food, and beer Openly admits he only gives a f*** about himself Generally moody and s***ty to other people Hygiene minimal, hockey bag smells like an open sewer in bombay

Maybe we draft this guy

Hard to blame Buffalo too. They're trying their darndest to hockey.

So if Skinner is supposedly getting a 9x8 from Buffalo. Does this mean Hallsy is gonna get like max contract?

Pagnotta is reporting that Hall is not re-signing with NJ. *cue every Leafs fan to start penciling Hall into their lineup* Does this make the 1 for 1 trade of Hall for Larsson less bad looking for Edmonton now?

Sell Gudas, Schlemko, and MacDonald first

Meh let Veleno rot in the minors

It would be a very hard trade to make happen. Our needs and Nashvilles don't really line up. that said I like Turris a lot more than Nielsen. Maybe if they take Daley back and/or Helm back or something

Give me one Turris please. Can play with Mantha and center the 2nd line.
