    2019-20 Prospects Thread

    No I was playing the role.of source dick.... you know the guy who posts "Source" in exactly this scenario. It's been done to me a few times... and since its Christmas I thought why not give what I've once recieved. The bold portion is rude, inaccurate, inflammatory and unnecessary... shows what lengths you'll go to protect your boy Zadina from criticism.

    Trade deadline bait available this year?

    Bodies then yes I get your point... but this team has prospect hope at every position other than G. Its scary bad when you start looking at the numbers.

    Trade deadline bait available this year?

    We have 2 terrible goalies in the NHL, a journeyman AHLer starting in GR and a prospect that can't stop a beachball, and a few other prospects that aren't exactly lighting the world on fire.... and they need depth more than we do?

    AA vs. Mantha

    Wow this is a testy thread... AA is Helm with some finish, Mantha is a prototypical power forward. Each is nice to have... AA's contract stunts and streakyness make him more expendable.

    On Howard what do we do with him?? Conditioning in GR, then what? I'd like to see more of Comrie... he may be something he may not but on age alone he's worth hanging on to over Howard... Could we truely embrace the tank and trade Bernier?

    Fabbri or Zadina?

    The homer is strong in this one... you make Jack Edwards look objective. Didn't Hirose have something comparable to 7 in 10 last season... that hype train is derailed and on fire. Apparently you do since you replied.

    Fabbri or Zadina?

    Middle 6 at best. But the poll is flawed CRL should have polled Q. Hughes vs Busty and see how that would play out.

    Fabbri or Zadina?

    So to be clear, we consider being "objective" to be a full throated homer for a flawed prospect.
  10. I wear glasses they're just not rose coloured as yours so clearly are.
  11. He had 1, 3pt game, 2 of which were assists... aren't you getting a little ahead of yourself? I know this is an abysmal season but don't set yourself up for more disappointment.
  12. Nail Yakupov had 3 GOALS in a game, during his rookie season against Vancouver... Busts can have bursts. Sat 4/27 vs VAN W 7-2 3 0 3 2 0 6 50.0 1 0 0 0 0 18:47 6:16
  13. Robbie Fabbri has made Zadina look like an NHLer for a night, he's that good.
  14. I see you have Larkin at 2C, my canary in the coal mine for this team is Larkin at 2C... if we get there we're ok! If not then we're effed. This is why if I have the #1 pick I'd take Byfield and not La-furniture (LOL)
  15. Colorado: 2016-17 48 pts 2017-18 95 pts 2018-19 90 pts

    Jeff Blashill History

    My wishful mind read the title as... Jeff Blashill IS History.... Damn I was excited.
  20. Comrie has a 100% save pct and 0.00 gaa... what's not to like
  21. I fully expect Blashill to finish this season... but the "you're fired" presser should be scheduled for 30-60 seconds after our last game... a guy like Barry Trotz has gotten more out of less than Blash, we need a coach with a highly structured defensive system.
  22. It's not what I think, it's about perception... the wings have been doing a good job of inventing then talking up positives for a scorer, who doesn't score and who's lost in his own zone. Packaged with what's likely to be a high 2nd rounder it may get you up to pick 8 or so.
