This is the entire story right here. SY is writing the book on how much more effective it is to develop young players in mens leagues overseas. Tangent: I really do think we are living in the best timeline right now. I dont think we should look back and say "Illitch should have handed the team to SY in 2011". Best thing that ever could have happened was Holland ramming this team into the rocks for 10 years while SY cut his teeth else where. Now to return and recieve a blank slate and unlimited mandate with a refined agenda. I think we are witnessing SYs best work. His magnum opus. Hes building us a dream team. Turn of the century Wings round 2 Yzerman boogaloo.

Sucks bc Weiss was actually a really good underrated player IMO. Played on some bad panthers teans and was hoping to watch him acheive his potential here. Injuries are a ***** and he shouldnt have lied to holland about them.

Are you denying that Zetterberg won the cup? Bc - check ur facts: He did. And also captained this team. Christ so technically Zberg wasnt even the first Federov was never captain dude.

These are the kind of posts i come here for

Zadina just plain sucks. I dont care what his oppurtunities or coaches have been. If youre billed as a top 5 draft pick sniper, you should probably be able to at least hit the net. He doesnt do this. His offensive instincts are literally cringe level. Its like he has no idea how to setup a play or pick a shot. And when he does finally find a decent oppurtunity his execution is downright bad. Sundqcist is a more valuable player at this current moment in time. Give him the 2nd chance under lalonde, but im not holding my breath that this was blashills fault on this one.

Maata wont be hard to beat

Oesterle's family issues kept him away from the rink last season. We might be seeing a rejuvinated man in him this year. The kind of regular that plays PP and PK and all situations like he did in chicago and Arizona. Hagg wrecks shop. Very physical and tough to play against. You'll like him. That competition is tougher than u think. Both Hagg and OOST are guys who can hold down regular duties. Eddog is going to have to Seider lvl wow us. And he wont. Too young n raw still. Never played NA ice.

Zberg won the cup my dood

Guess Edvinsson is going to GR afterall

Zetterberg

Id bet its more of a personality issue. I was a Walstud fan at the draft. I doubt his issues are technique or technical. He is SOUND in those departments. The defination of textbook technique goalie. On the other hand i was really impressed by Cossas personality after being drafted. He is smart, charismatic, and confident. Shades of Seider. SY made it apparent he was gunning for key players with strong character to be the bed rock of this new era. Id bet Cossas personality set him apart - whereas walnuts likely had the same boring stoic personality of every other blue collar swede.

Youve come to the correct forum for hottakes. But can u support ur hotcake??

Lindstrom is the 2022 Marchenko

Wat

Yeah but he should be used to PK as well. But hes not very good at that.

Is he though? Our bottom pairing was really bad last year and Lindstrom was half of that equation. He doesnt seem to do anything that well, and hes skinny as a rail. ITS TOO EARLY FOR A REDRAFT SHANNON

Sebrango earns an A for the WJC. Can someone breakdown this kid for me? Hes been fast tracked very quickly. Getting signed and going to the AHL immedately. Now hes earning these recognitions... i watched him play with the griffins a bit... he looked taxed and very average late in the griffs season to me. But then he was also 19 so i guess thats pretty good for his age range. I shouldve paid this guy more attention i guess. He seems to be a solid darkhorse by his accomplishments. Hes probably in the same mix with Viro and Johansson no?

Seider is tough on the ice, but he's a big softy IRL. Daddy Ben is going to make a man out of him. Hope they room together. Chia will be eating raw meat in the room and lifting weights.

Mackels in the discord now and keeps asking when ur coming back. Think hes got a man crush on u.

Lindstrom sucks and should be trebucheted back to sweden

Yea but Big Ben is good

Glendog written all over him

Seider is #1 in a redraft by me by a good margin. Wheeler is a jack ass creating controversy to get his clicks.

The C version of Seider
