Tage Thompson is truly awful at taking passes in the slot. He either skates himself there to shoot or isn't doing anything.

Whispers "they should trade for Smith"

Adams is determined to force that combo to work.

These were the lines yesterday:

Pronman didn't even rank him: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6754147/2025/10/29/nhl-draft-top-prospects-2026-gavin-mckenna-pronman/

But did he try? Did Tuch say no? What was the offer?

How's my boy doing? Well, Nikita Klepov is currently at 9g, 13a in 14games. Puts him first on his team by 2pts ahead of a d+2 guy in Barbanov. There aren't many like Klepov and if gets faster more powerful, he's got some game breaker to him.

In the text scene just about everyone ends up in that pit.

For those looking at Ellis and being happier with him than Levi, once NHL teams have a book on Ellis, he'll have the same problem as Levi. Will he overcome them? That's really the question.

We've built an entire society predicated on the idea that anything that interferes with what "I" want or that inconveniences "me" is bad. Basically I think my answer is selfishness is why they don't care. We're an un empathetic "me first" culture. But I'm also grumble today so take it with a grain of salt.

Buffalo v Boston Who will play goal? Who will score goals? Will Casey Mittelstadt fight Owen Power? Find out tonight.

Maybe they're scouting the leafs.

I don't honestly care.

His on ice vision is bad.

Something to remember:

They need someone better than Worthy.

Tage has a playmaker on his line. I don't think that's what he needs, he needs a connector, not a playmaker.

He got 2 goals in 1 game. He's not a 2way defensive player and has never played like one. I'll disagree and we'll check back in December to see how his points look. Considering his on ice play, he's not doing anything other than what Timmins is offensively. I'm referring to style of play.

How is Timmins their only defensive defense when you listed Samuelsson the sentence before?

Looks like Östlund might be out.

Here's my concern. The team is marginally better but a chunk of that is goaltending. If the goaltending regressed even to average, this house of cards collapses.
