Stars goalie Jake Oettinger has more points than Kotkaniemi in these playoffs

Necas would be due to cap crunch.

Not just them but other players still in CHL playoffs too. I like the Hlinka better for that reason.

Dobber's rankings are for fantasy value only though.

Abandon this thread and start a new one for the second round???

If they are going to blame the current regime for Bergevin's actions, that's on them I guess.

Bason on his podcast with Godin has also linked Martin Necas. I think that's who I'd be after.

1 series win in over a decade as president of hockey ops. Shanny getting fired would not shock me at all.

What are you talking about. 6 paragraphs about a simple play. All samsonov has to do is poke check the puck before pasta gets there. Thats it.... You get these weird theories all the time. Did you ever play hockey? Like serious hockey? Not when you were 5 but like as a teenager in a competitive league?

18000 people and 11 players in that game knew the puck was bouncing into the slot. For some reason samsonov stayed on his line instead of pushing out and grabbing it.

Death Taxes The Leafs losing in the funniest possible way.

This ice is a disgrace. Neither team can string 3 passes together. The plays arent working out (both ways) cause the ice is a disaster. Puck is bouncing like mad.

Fox played an extra year of college. 3 vs 2 for Hutson.

Barring any trades signings..... Savard and Kovacevic are also pure RHD on the depth chart with NHL time. Guhle if playing RD is also ahead of him, and Jordan Harris is in this mix too. He's not defacto anything.... that spot is an open competition and he's the only one of the 5 who didn't spend the full season in the NHL this year.
