eman Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 I don't know, the number of Swedes we are accumulating on this team is starting to worry me. Not sure if its the ghost of Don Cherry whispering to me but I am getting worried about it. Once playoffs start, a "heavy game style" is usually required to advance. Will this team be able to bring that or survive it? Just a thought. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Quote Isak Rosén is pure skill and finesse personified. The only real question is whether he’s skilled enough to make that work for him at the NHL level. The last thing you want to see is Rosén in space. He collects most pucks mid-stride. His handling and skating forms are nearly impeccable. He’ll send false signals between the blue lines to move the feet of opposing defenders, cutting east-west and using the dotted line. He’ll fake weight shifts, shoulder-shimmy, and just overpower hapless defenders. So you don’t just have to contend with Rosén’s skill. You also have to contend with the NHL-level habits that act as a force multiplier on his ever manoeuvre. That’s the sort of thing we look for in players with Rosén’s profile -- highly skilled, frail, a little undersized. That’s the difference between a good junior player and someone with legitimate NHL aspirations in a supporting scoring role. https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/420269/isak-rosen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Second Line Center Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 I'm feeling confident the return on Eichel and Sam will include several C prospects. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) 1. I've been refreshing TSN rather than here. My mistake. Nice job SS! 2. I am tired out of my mind. I would have been asleep if not for the stupid trade today. 3. Really? No real roster player? A pick that we're going to see wasted on this freaking guy? What an underwhelming day. @LGR4GMyou owe me a drink. Edited July 24, 2021 by Eleven 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasmus_ Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 I don't hate the prospect, but you could have moved down for sure to get him. At least I believe so. He can skate and his shot is underrated. You can put on weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
