While Bozak is strong in the circle, he has never been known as a great defender. You would need a Jere Lethinen level defensive winger to make that plan work

Secondary assists can be indicative of smart puck movement and springing teammates for scoring chances They can also be indicative of absolutely nothing. I would need to watch the tape before completely writing them off.

absolutely not an A+ skater. Certainly can be considered a plus skater though.

Every scouting report on Thomas I have read has mentioned both of those as strengths. Where are you seeing that he is not a + skater?

I'm fine with 2 years at 4MM for Hutton. Serviceable 1a/1b with Ullmark and a great locker room guy at worst. At best he replicates his last year and steals us a few games.

This is why I moved to Missouri

If it wasn't for a bias towards CHL players we could have come away with Jake Guentzel. Pitt picked him up a few picks after Baptiste

Better to have ROR and Risto

Nothing wrong with a good shower from time to time

Shea Theadore has looked very suspect tonight

The more I watch Jonathan Marchesseult the more he reminds me of Briere

Spent a few weeks in Asheville this past year. Seemed like an awesome place to live

Backstrom was shaking hands with his left hand...was that the injury he missed time for?

Real non-fact-checked takes make message boards what they are. PS he's actually Austrian born, raised in Sweden by Russian parents (per google)

Burakovsky is Swedish born to Russian parents FWIW

Fixed my post not yours

Fixed it for ya

Aye carumba oshie Kind of "ticky-tack bullspit" my Peewee coach would bench you for

Burakovsky making the Erie Otters proud!

This one?

I'll be surprised if he lasts that long but if he does his "Draper moment" will likely happen eventually

A considerably more accomplished cheap shot artist as well

Tkachuck - Eichel - Tkachuck??? (Keith and spawn inclusive)

I feel guilty saying it but that level of physicality and nastiness still had an integral place in the game. I believe it will see a resurgence as bigger players realize that they cannot make it without speed as part of the package. I'm not telling you to like it but Claude Lemieux won what? 3 cups?
