Someone somewhere thought this was a cool idea. Yikes.

The Athletic link above led me to read Pronman’s two-round mock draft he put together with an “NHL source”. Topias Leinonen went 34th. Mildly interesting.

I just don't see your expectations regarding Mitts coming to fruition. Granato said last year that Mitts was one of the best players in last year's training camp. Then he got hurt and was shelved until late in the season. I see him being either our 2C or 3C vying with Cozens for the higher role. In addition, Mitts, like Cozens, has the ability to play wing. So, his versatility would be an additional argument to keep him. Another reason that I can't foresee him be moved is that he fits the profile of how the GM wants to build this roster i.e. mostly building from within the system. I just see the organization counting on both Mitts and Cozens making the leap into becoming established players for this hopefully emerging team.
On top of Mitts versatility, he is absolutely relentless out there. Even if he doesn’t meet the early expectations there’s a place for guys that play the way he plays.

I'm probably not going to be alive in 5 years .
Could be the reason why I'm so Moody Or my wife just annoyed me.
Do you really want to go out complaining and whining every step of the way? If so, any chance you could cut back a little? The current situation pollutes the threads a bit.
Yes, I know that I’m complaining and whining right now. My apologies.

So, I do see him contributing more offensively even as a lower line player. And it should be noted that he is excellent on the PK. He is not going to be provide many scoring highlights but without a doubt his teammates and coaches appreciate him his contributions.
He had extremely limited PK time from mid-March on. Many games he wasn’t out there at all on PK. I don’t know if Granato wanted to see others or if Asplund doesn’t really deserve the rep you have him pegged for.

That’s super interesting. It has to be an emotional time when your year’s worth of effort reaches the finish line. This reaction has me fascinated.

Okie dropping knowledge
Mitts might not live up to his draft position but he’s got skills and he’s freaking relentless out there. Definitely a place for him regardless.

Mitts is relentless. Even if he doesn’t become a top level scorer he’s going to be a valuable player.

Would the Wild trade Fiala for Krebs? He’s a bust we need to trade while value is high. It’d help their cap
If he’s a bust, how is his value high?

Something I particularly like about the results of Granato’s methods is that there is zero message board talk about “sheltered” minutes/usage. Doesn’t mean it might not be happening but it’s nice that it’s not a topic.

I actually thought Power seemed to be having a little trouble adjusting to the speed of the game at this level but he wasn't horrible. No big deal, I'm sure it's just a first game type thing. Still confident he will be very good.
Love beating the Laughs. Just love it. Season highlight maybe.
Everyone sees it differently but I feel like this didn’t happen at all.

Last minute decision to see Joywave in Boston tonight so I'll have to watch on replay.
Saw them in DC Friday night. Super fun. I love the new album.

Asplund is quietly one of the best forwards on this team.
He’s played well for the last couple weeks and I like him. One of the best? Who is he better than outside of Eakin and Hayden?

An NHL player needs to be able to accept that pass and transition every time.
I once saw Bobby Orr catch an edge in a similar circumstance.

VO has 11/4 EV/PP goal split this year. It can be hard to shake a reputation.

Sorry if it’s been said above - based on his growth as a player, still untapped potential, and every single word Granato has said about the way he handles business, Dahlin should be the next captain.

Bryson was outstanding. He belongs.

Does anyone know if a photo of valid vaccination card works to get in?
It worked for me at the Colts game.

That's the whole point of the vaccine. Not getting back to normal is how you compound the tragedy of the pandemic by crippling the global economy again. A lot of pain and suffering was caused by the measures that were required to suppress the spread before the vaccine. The vaccine is supposed to prevent that from happening again, but it doesn't work if people don't use it.
Getting back to normal is the goal. The alternative is more pain and suffering.
They used the vaccine to a very great degree in Israel. It’s not going well. In Palestine, very limited vax. Their numbers are currently pretty good (unlikely to stay that way imo). No links. Easily found via google Looks like there is no magic bullet.

I went in DC 2018. Very fun time. Everyone was friendly and Marty will talk your ear off. He’s the best.
