I remember a radio conversation they were having with Craig Button. He was addressing the differences in play between the AHL and NHL. He commented that in the AHL, players hold on to the puck longer than in the NHL. I wonder how that plays into player development. If a player shows up in camp and can play with the big boys, do you want to send him down and learn different skills?

Injuries in Training camp could cost you your job in the NFL. Claypool better suck it up, Maybe Kim should talk to him about life and shake him up a bit...

Based on his stats for one year, he got paid like a top 25 goalie in the nhl.

Prospect, also known as a "minor leaguer" or "farmhand," is any player whose rights are owned by a professional team but who has yet to surpass a threshold where they achieve rookie status. To be considered a rookie, a player must not have played in more than 25 NHL games in any preceding seasons, nor in six or more NHL games in each of any two preceding seasons. Any player at least 26 (by September 15th of that season) is not considered a rookie.

Gives new meaning to the winged "wheel"

He quickly fell out of favor with the coaching staff after his big year. Wonder what happened? LOL - he probably wanted to salute the fans even though they booed...

LOL, Detroit is square with a deep dish (a lot of crust). Chicago is stuffed-style pizza and has a similar deep dish.

NHL TRADE RUMORS: JETS EHLERS LINKED TO SABRES FOR KULICH AND ÖSTLUND By Bill Scott - July 5, 2024

NHL Trade Rumors: Jets Ehlers Linked to Sabres for Kulich and Östlund By Bill Scott - July 5, 2024

Using the term "great" by media at sports events.. Draft pick analysis (need to have some kind of review of these experts three years after their premonitions) NBA and WNBA

Pipe dream - Add Bowman and Quenneville to the staff.

Is this team currently better, not sure. On paper, they got tougher. It will all depend on 3 things #1 Will Ruff be the answer #2 Will the "top" players play like top player. #3.The youngsters that play need to play well.

No on the top 6 forward from Adams.

Agreed and the only way to fix it would be to "hire" a big name ex-GM.

Definition that the rest of his game sucks.

I wonder if the Sabers lead the NHL in the "cast off" category? The only common donominator to me is coaching.

LOL - ok we can add Outlier to the list.. emphasis on lier. First of all - none of us have a crystal ball shoved up our buttkiss. We have no idea how some one will develope or not develop. How long it might take. Should they play in the nhl or a lower league to develop. On average, 49% of players who are drafted by the NHL will “make it” to the NHL — meaning they play in at least one game. Between 1991 and 2000 37% of First round pics played 0-199 games. do we really expect Kulich, Savoie, Helenius, Rosen, or Östlund to outdo that? I dont know, I hope one of them can.

Love how we stereotype players. Top six, Bottom 4, need to be over 6 ft and weigh 285 pounds, wingspand of 20 feet, etc... Cant be good until you are 24. What about these guys and their development (top offensive producers under 23): Jack Hughes Tim Stutzle Matt Boldy Dylan Cozens Dawson Mercer Cole Caufield Wyatt Johnston Matty Beniers Andrei Svechnikov Trevor Zegras Kirill Marchenko Shane Pinto Barrett Hayton Jesperi Kotkaniemi Kaapo Kakko Lucas Raymond Mason McTavish Alexis Lafreniere Kent Johnson Jonatan Berggren Rasmus Dahlin Joel Farabee Kirby Dach Seth Jarvis Jack Quinn

Agreed, they needed to be tougher, more grit, and hard to play against. On paper, Adams went out and did what was needed. Part One was to build up the prospect pool. Two accomplishments. Now it is up to the coach to use the tools presented to him and create a winner.

The Pens signed six players for 4 million today. I wonder how the fan base is doing?

WOW! I guess no different than Owen Power.

OMG—I looked at Cap-friendly, and the team is averaging 30 years of age!!!

Leafs are $700k up against the cap.... They may run out of players by the end of the year.

Nashville appears to be drinking early today.

Stamkos deal looks cheap. Not.
