Just stating what I saw, his pass was a top tier play. Do I want him to get an extension? If he does that pass 30 times this year I might say yes. He was only ever a play maker. If he consistently can be a top level playmaker then he is playing as he should. I never hope for anything but the best out of our players. Cole needs a setup man to pot 50. I wont complain if Drouin becomes that guy. He was pretty good at that in Halifax with McKinnon. Maybe he can find his game, maybe it won't happen. I will be pleased if he does, if not then he won't be extended.

They are all Leafs, Flames and Oilers fan anyway.

I might have to do with keeping him with the coaches they want him to develop under? It could be that they see their AHL coaching team to be superior to Jr coaches and that his development is better handled with less game time, more work with top tier coaches? Not saying that is the case, but it is definitely worth considering.

I don't see either of those guys making that pass to Cole. Do you? Are you guys enjoying watching the Calder Cup winner this season?

Not nearly as bad a team as most of you think. All I will say on it.

51-26-5-2 107pnts 4th in Atlantic, at which time Price returns pulling a TB over the cap playoff run announcing his retirement with a cup and the MVP, Cole pots 52, Primeau finds his posts and becomes our future, ST Louis wins Jack Adams, Ghule is nominated but shunned for Norris but takes the Calder. Habs take Leafs in first round silencing the nation for another few months. edit missed this, 12th in the league Call me an optimistic dreamer

I very wise goalie once said, something like, "I don't know what all the panic is about, it is preseason". Unfortunately he is sidelined and may not play again.

I remember last year preseason when people on here shot me down for saying X Factor was going to be an NHL defenceman. "ECHL at best" was one of the retorts if I recall right. You guys need to tool up on your scouting abilities, lol. Unfortunately I cant watch any preseason this year to give my insight.

As a parent who was overcharged for years to help fund this, I want my money back! How about full disclosure? Open up the books, make them public and show us exactly what was done with the funds we contributed?

I just happened to be there overnight on my ship. It was a chance of a lifetime to see a game over here. I am glad I took advantage. The fans were amazing. If Leksand fans are better, I am not sure my ears could take it. Says the old rocker...

Yep, The most standout player in the game, Soderlund, who was a bust. The above mentioned, all are far from NHL. Oslund has good legs and hockey smarts though. Still young. Fun game though with a great atmosphere. I compare it to watching a Jr A game with a soccer crowd.

I am in Stockholm and going to watch DJURGÅRDEN vs VÄSTERÅS tonight. Any key players on these teams to watch?

oops lol, then yes

Not until Roy has his retired at the very least.

His lateral movement is his biggest issue that I see. He has a habit of sliding past his post when moving across. Not giving up on him yet, but so far he is a good AHL goalie. Not NHL caliper. He has a long way to go to be an NHL starter.

We got that in Dach? Maybe, big C anyway

Boggled how anyone could even suggest trading our top prospect during a rebuild. That would be beyond stupidity.

Happy to have memories of watching him live, as a Hab and as a Nordique. My brothers first NHL game. Simply the best of his era. RIP Guy.

We're #1. Lol.

Lagesson fills a jersey and bench spot while helping us lose out. Great pickup. 2nd in 2023 for Kulak is fair value.

I heard it is not done as Allen is part of the trade...

I remember that post. I hoped we stopped drafting shoe in bottom 6 forwards at that point and preferred shooting for the moon with a high risk reward type. Now, we need to plug those bottom 6 holes. Good addition. We are back on track I believe. Aging Price get his cup here? God I hope so. He deserves it. Window closing though. Got to be realistic.

OK. Stop winning now, we can't make the playoffs so worst is best. Should have kept Ducharme or made the move months ago. Hope we trade away enough to stay in last and do it soon.

The ducks is the 2023 pick I would target, they could easily miss next year and when the balls drop you never know. Most likely to fall in the standing imo.

But alas nobody know who holds that now, which is why it is worth getting as many cards from the deck as you can. Actually if our cards are played right, 1st next year's is ours anyway and we are trying to scam 2nd overall from someone. Could you imagine? Bedard Michkov Wright Suzuki. OK, dreaming but not totally impossible. Please suck just as hard next year.
