Please just block me. I'm sick of your fake arguments and semantics and you're sick of me so let's just call it quits.
I actually think you’re one of the better posters here but you handle disagreements terribly (pot meet kettle, I know). You acted like I said it’s impossible for ANY teen to put on muscle when I clearly stated it is not the easiest task for ALL teens to do so. It’s a waste of everyone’s time to completely ignore the argument being made and instead attack an argument that doesn’t exist.

Wildly false? lol. Right, all 18 year old kids can't build muscle and to say otherwise is wildly false.
Isak Rosen will always be 160lbs, the poor bastard... Jack Quinn should be traded now, he is only 176lbs, it would be "wildly false" to state he can add muscle.
I stopped reading here because you’re intentionally playing dumb.

Don't take offense but talking about muscle mass on 18 year olds is stupid. All of them can build muscle. Rosen for example at 190lbs would be a beast. Justin Bailey at 214, meh.
The easiest thing for a prospect to add is muscle and weight.
Both bold statements are wildly false. Teams definitely spend a good amount of time getting an idea what a player's body type/muscle mass is and how it could impact their ability to grow in the future.

Dahlin actually had a composed little feed for the secondary there
He’s not incapable despite what this fan base thinks

Of course the way he's been playing lately matters. And it's right to be concerned.
What isn't right is to say UPL is ***** and will always be ***** based on a couple dozen AHL games.
I think this is disingenuous. Nobody is saying he’s *****. I think I might’ve went the farthest in saying I don’t view him as an NHL prospect. It doesn’t mean he’s *****. I’m just not projecting him to make it at the next level. That’s fine. Different opinions are okay.
He’s been undeniably bad as a pro in the AHL and NHL with over three dozen games logged. He was good not great during his time in the ECHL. This isn’t a recent development.

I think the opposite. I think they will sign Semien and not Ray. Unless he wins the Cy Young then they will break the bank for both.
The chances of them signing Semien seem almost non-existent. He’s going to get paid a TON which the Blue Jays won’t do with Springer already on board along with contracts coming from Vlad and Bichette. They haven’t even been rumored to be in on Semien and he wants to go west.

*MASSIVE* W!!
Glad to keep him. Have to do Robbie Ray next but I’m not feeling great about this team with Semien gone.

Grit matters but size, meh. Lots of tall guys who suck at hockey.
Lots of little guys, too! Nobody has ever been good because of size.

red apple is primary
green is secondary
also...
Which is weird because green apples are better
1 hour ago, GASabresIUFAN said:I agree. They'll give Johnson a year in Rochester to get acclimated to the pro game.
Yup. There’s no way they can risk him becoming a senior. I also think the team probably gives him NHL games at the end of this season because that’ll be a good way to guarantee he signs that deal.

anyways like i said i have nothing against quinn i just feel you should take the center every time.
It seems like you have Quinn’s position against him.
22 minutes ago, Zamboni said:I am actually surprised to see some of the posters who are really really really down on UPL … not turn around recently and admit that he’s had a few good games.
My thoughts on UPL are that the chances are likely that he’s no longer an NHL prospect short of him being one of those weird cases who is only good at the next level but can’t perform in the AHL.

Just now, LGR4GM said:
That's not it will work outside of the top few picks. There won't be a "clearly" this over this, but instead be different tiers of players that you can pick from.
They'll grade guys out sure but you'll have 3-4 guys at the same grade and at that stage you can look at positions. Again in the 2022 draft, there's only about 3lhd that might go in the first.
This and teams will definitely consider what positions/players they like later before making a selection. If they think it’s a deep draft where the gap between a player in the current tier and the next few isn’t big but there’s a steep drop off of, say, goalie talent, they may be more inclined to take the goalie now. A lot of factors go into draft outside of just making a list of hundreds of players and taking the one at the top every time.

I think this is a good thread that just didn’t pick up. All Rick the Dog related content should be discussed here because he’s a good boy.
Also: teams needs to stop putting their team dog on the ice. It’s terrible for their bodies.

And the steelers choke after the lions choke. Helps the bills!
That Lions OT kick was the worst field goal attempt I’ve seen in the NFL.

I like the call by WASH 'The football team' 4th and goal--31 sec left leading TB by 4. Gotta end the game right there.
Easy call there. Worst case the Bucs have to go 99 yards in roughly 28 seconds with no timeouts.

I’m happy to see him get in this game. It’s just a cool moment for him.
Never mind. Josh still in.

Daaaamn.
Mitch comin' in?
He’s not active. Davis Webb would be the one to come in and he’s never taken an NFL regular season snap.

Everything after that wide open DB blitz sack has been fantastic. This is the team we need to see week in and week out.
22 minutes ago, inkman said:Jesus Christ people they are winning 17-3.
And it’s not even as bad as the Dolphins game two weeks ago. This has been dominant with just a couple weak drives.

Dion Dawkins is doodoo

Star Lotulelei out with COVID. Yikes.

Weird. Looks like it's Quinn's goal.
Apparently Krebs didn't connect as he tried to sweep in the rebound and it was actually a Monster that knocked it in.
Krebs seems entirely incapable of scoring goals lol

Girgensons, Grigorenko, Reinhart, Eichel, Mittelstadt and Cozens — that's 6 1st round centres in 8 years.
Also took Asplund and Conor Hurley in the 2nd in that stretch.
Our issue isn't drafting centres, it's developing them into NHL centres.
Potentially five or six out of six of seven seems pretty good.

Seriously? The current team with 50% JAGs is 22nd in the NHL. This proposed team is a huge upgrade in talent.
The current standings aren’t reflective of an 82-game NHL season. The proposed team is incredibly inexperienced and a couple of those guys are unlikely to secure full NHL careers at any point, let alone next season.
The team will need a handful of outside additions in the offseason to fill out the roster if the hope is to get out of the basement.

What about next fall?
Skinner Mitts Tuch
Krebs Cozens Quinn
Asplund Thompson JJP
Girgensons Jankowski Okposo
Bjork
Dahlin Jokiharju
Bryson Samuelsson
Power Fitzgerald
Hagg Pysyk
Trade VO for a real goaltender
Tokarski
How’s that for a scary talented buy very young roster.
That team would likely be bottom 5-7 in the league.

Spencer Brown likely being out two games due to COVID protocols and the Pats looking good tonight are two reasons to be concerned about the division. The Pats aren’t messing around.
