So that’s why Tie Domi’s head was so hard.

TSN broadcast crew have been saying he is invited to the Sabres prospect tournament. Kris Baker tweeted this, quoting the same source.

Maybe we get a look at Leinonen this December, two of Finland’s three goalies are aging out.

He is an ‘02 born prospect, and is AHL eligible because he turns 20 this year. Bloom and Nadeau were also drafted in ‘21 but are ‘03 born, so they must return to the CHL. They have all signed their ELCs.

Sjodin on PK1 for Sweden.

You’re thinking of Nadeau. Kozak is a late’02 so he can play in Rochester this year.

Canadian dad, who played in Finland. Healthy scratch tonight, this guy’s stock keeps falling.

Both were primary assists. Five points in the two playoff games for him. Playing for bronze tomorrow.

He had a nice year in the WHL. He played a bit in the Covid-19 season. There will be a lot of hits and misses from the ‘21 draft, way fewer views/games and practices.

Canada without Ridley Grieg, the pesky two way centre has been really good.

Datsyuk is the skills coach for his team IIRC.

Half of those are nice shots, sniper goals. He skates well, breaks away from pressure.

I voted no but I believe they’re in it until the last week of the season. Playoffs are actually in the conversation instead of draft rankings, how refreshing.

I remember him and Cozens being neck and neck in their draft years, I think we got the right one.

I think he gets to 20G and is in the conversation for ROY. The balanced scoring among the lines will make matchups tough for other teams.

Bloom is not AHL eligible. Kozak could play there.

Cape Breton is his Q team, there are almost no French people in that town. The roster has more English speaking players than French. The other communities in the Maritimes that are primarily English speaking are Halifax, Saint John, Charlottetown and Moncton. Moncton is closer to 50/50.

I’m not on the Tuch for Captain train. He should be a part of the leadership group. I’d like to see KO get it and see who the successor will be over the next year or three.

I think Tuch is a 55 point player. His main assets are work ethic, speed and size. His shot is average and he doesn’t have magic hands. The energy he has about being a Sabre is what you need in a leadership group. If he was tickled to come to a bottom feeding franchise, the future will make him have a permanent smile.

I’m sure there is a picture of him wearing Leafs pyjamas as a kid. Show that to Dubas, retain 50% and have the Coyotes be a third party retaining another 50% and Leafs nation will plan the parade.

I would have done it. If the chemistry was not working, you retain 50% and move him ASAP. If he wasn’t helping much and not worth an extension you move him at the deadline.

I see a parallel to Peterka’s year and keep in mind Kulich is a year younger than JJP was. The Czech boys in Rochester will help the transition as well. I see the Q (Cape Breton) as option #2 if he isn’t ready for the AHL. He could work on his English , get a feel for the smaller ice surface and be a go to guy in that league. I would only send him back to Czechia if he was lonely. Playing against men would help him develop too but I think this kid wants to be in N.Am.

The Habs may do OK on that deal, potentially moving him at the deadline for another asset.

You called it, I was not as worried. One game knockout seems to always produce an upset.

I am not into gambling but I would put a bit on the Sabres there. I guess I would have to subscribe to a gambling site to make that bet.
