Daniel-son still need more training. Wax on, wax off.

[kipwinger 8,621]

Edvinsson is going to be sooooo good. He’s dominating tonight

Tuned in late but Kasper had a bit of a thoughtless icing followed by a failed zone clearance which lead to the Caps 4th goal. Kids make mistakes and I don’t care but I’m not feeling what I’ve seen from him so far vs, say, Danielson.

Pretty sure. Edvinsson is a freaky beast for sure but Seider has it more between the ears and will always be better offensively. 

[Jonas Mahonas 1,872]

We can be happy to have 2 good defensemen.  That's allowed.

Pretty fuqing sure.

Eddog may very well be the next Kronwall. But Mo is the new Pronger.

Pronger > Kronwall

If Edvinsson was 22 with 2 years in the NHL and Seider was 20 on the cusp I think people would be seeing this differently. Edvinsson is going to be a beast. Best top 2 D in the league in 3 years.

What if Edvinsson is closer to Hedman than he is Kronwall?

Not only did Seider win the calder in his D+3, he was a legit #1 NHL D.

Eddog isn't likely to even make the team in his D+3. And its questionable that hes even the #1 in GR this season with McIsaac, Johansson, and Rafferty on the team.

I like Edvinsson as much as anyone, and I expect him to be a top4 D for us one day, but he hasnt even knocked on the door of being a #1 yet. Seider kicked that door in day 1.

Hey the top pair seemed like McIsaac - Johansson last year. Now Rafferty is on the team..   ed has healthy comp for that spot.

prolly 2nd best.  Power + Dahlin is incredible.  Ednisson/Seider/Wallinder/ASP tho?  That's going to be something.

dont be an rslur.  Eddog is a beast.  the coaches are just lame if they dont play him. He's a giant with a huge reach that skates like a forward.

Seider had less competition for a roster spot. That 2021-22 d corp was bad.

Edvinsson's competition is Seider, Walman, Petry, Gost, Holl, Chiarot and Maatta.

Seider's competition was DeKeyser, Leddy, Staal, Hronek, Lindstrom, and Oesterle.

Have to remember that McIsaac has to pass through waivers to be sent down this year for the first time. Could some other team take a chance on him? We will see.

Who honestly gives a phuk about McIssac at this point? 

[kipwinger 8,621]

Here’s my bold prediction for this season. Edvinsson will have better defensive metrics and will out score Seider at even strength if they both play more than 50 games.

Chiarot or Holl will be scratched in game 1
