You wanted another lhd? Why?

Miller and Guentzel. Tage has size, the US will value that. Boldy is interesting but he's a lw. Remember, Tage does shoot right handed, they may need a 40g rhs. I think any of this players can shift to wing as needed. Not saying it will happen, just that Helenius is a favorite in the Finland national team eyes and if IF, he progresses over the next 2 years, I think he is on the team.

Helenius would have a chance in 2 years. The Finns like him.

Quick note, Gavin McKenna won't be draft eligible until 2026. He may lead the WHL in scoring this year anyways.

Lol @Thorny a second time.

If by Adams you mean Ventura and Karmanos, yes.

By the Paddle of Ethron. The Ryan Miller wtf wave

DeLuca .500

No, but nfreeman was.

Lol @Thorny

4 seasons but point still stands.

Good luck intimidating Novikov. That's 6'4" and over 200lbs of angry defender. If he improves his foot speed he's gonna be a lot of fun. Also, Helenius, Östlund, Kulich, Rosen have all played previous seasons either in the AHL or against men so I don't worry about that for them. R Johnson came from College so he's not getting intimidated either.

Don't tell this board that. The meltdown over calling Helenius small like Benson and Savoie was all based on the fact he wasn't 1 inch taller. It was and is the dumbest example of bias we have for this place.

Tappara issues statement that makes it appear as though Helenius will be playing in NA this season. They wished him good luck. I would count on Helenius then opening the year in Rochester.

Being critical of a GM who's failings are self evident doesn't make anyone a troll, ftr. Whether or not that's your point with the opening sentence, I just wanted add that in. We should be critical of a guy who for 4 years couldn't get this team to the playoffs.

Correct, Benson is not AHL eligible. Tbh, I just don't believe a scenario exists where Benson isn't better than last year. If he struggles, you bench him for Krebs or Kulich and Benson figures his ***** out at practice.
