Tyler Johnson step on down...............Though he's a vet semmed like he was talking about young guys
- vabeachbear

Maybe but who? Or who that matters? KK missed time but that wasn't an injury so I don't think was one. Bedard had a broken jaw and they had to drag him off the ice. Reichel was benched. Kaiser sent down.

I mean, WTF is LR going on about here?

If he usages of Tinordi and Megna is any indication, I am not exactly brimming with confidence here.

Florida didn't make a mistake in that game? How about Ekblad falling asleep on the one goal against, but i get his point.


Hmmm, so does that mean Nazar, Slaggert, Korchinski and Levshunov are playing in Rockford this year

He is talking about the playoffs? Yeah, that ain't happening .

Levshunov better be somewhere else and maybe they save KK by sending him down, too.

Gonna have to wait to see. But they are not going to be a playoff team.

Hall - Bedard - Teravainen
Foligno - Richarderson- Mikheyev
Kurashev- Athanasiou - Bertuzzi
C. Smith - Donato - Maroon

Who plays with Bedard? ALL of themat various times since he will see big minutes.

Nazar, Reichel, Slaggert, J. Anderson, Sanford,


Vlasic, S Jones, Korchinski, (Levshunov) Murphy, Martinez with Kaiser, Phillips on call, and Del Maestro, Nolan Allen, and Crevier in the learning bump.

There is no point for those guys to be in Chicago if they aren't playing every night.

Levshunov does not belong in the NHL at the start of the season. Haven't they learned their lesson with Korbumski?

Also ,Kurashev will be next to Bedard until he proves he doesn't belong there.

Zach Sanford is a bum and should be in RFD cause he is useful there.

Wennberg signs for 5M/AAV for 2 years. Glad KD stayed away from him. Henrique would be a better option.

That's fine really. We basically replaced R Johnson and M Entwistle with Pat Maroon/Craig Smith. Martinez is old but still serviceable, he was playing 19 minutes a night for Vegas.

If you look at it this way, basically everyone that was just brought in played in the playoffs last year. Glad KD avoided the big term overpay contracts.

- breadbag


Maroon and Smith are an improvement over Johnson and Entwhistle. Same for Martinez on the blue line.

Damn, Nashville is set up really well. 19 players signed for next season with $4.5M left. Not ideal, but they already have:

Forsberg
Stamkos
Marchessault
O'Reilly
Novak
Nyquist

Josi
Skjei
Schenn

Saros

Not to mention 2 1sts, 2 2nds, and 3 3rds next year.

For being a pretty conservative D first coach Trotz sure is aggressive as a GM

Eiserman seems like the kind of guy you lose playoff games with even when he scores.
- rpeters01


I guess we'll see. You have probably watched him more than me. I've only seen him in the last tourney they played in.

Like i said, I'll be watching those 4 careers and comparing them.

Hawks need some guys who can put the puck in the net, right now, they have 1.

Yes on the first point.

Isn't Levshunov committed to Michigan State? Spares them the decision of where to send him if he is not ready to play in the NHL. The problem with KK was he was too young for Rockford, and too good for juniors.

Kurashev will be next to Bedard until he is traded or is surpassed by prospects. Had they signed Kaner, Kurashev's trade value would take a hit.

I would be surprised if Sanford starts here out of camp.

I'd call it a wash. All 4 pretty much are useless at this point. Maroon is just here to look mean.

Martinez is def an improvement over Tinordi and Megan.

If they brought in all these additional veterans to show the kids what it takes to play and win in the NHL, you would think that more than Bedard and KK would be exposed to this culture. At a minimum, Nazar should be another one to be on the team.

Korchinski you could kind of understand if they didn't feel staying in the W was good for his development, time will tell if that was right or not (at least for the rest of us).

Leshunov on the other hand is at a good program at MSU, playing against players who are as old or older than him.

I would think best thing for his development is to stay at MSU, and join Moore for 5 games at the end of the season. Then next year at camp, determine if its Rockford or Chicago.

Just like Slaggert and Nazar. (for the record, I'm not convinced they'll both be in Rockford next year).

All the GMs that passed on Eiserman run the big risk of him sticking it to them. And the more I think about the more I think they stayed away from him for some character issue. No way 19 teams pass on the guy rated as the best pure goal scorer in the draft. If he proves he can put up big numbers in the NHL and be able to maintain that play in the playoffs the Islanders may have the steal of the draft.

Didn't Raddysh take a while to get back and then didn't get qualified this summer and is gone?

There were some questions about his consistency of effort and mixed reports on his skating.

it was mentioned both seemed to get better in the 2nd half but at North Dakota he better be prepared to work on both cause its a solid program that attracts good player. He is going to have to earn his ice time.

- Elbows15


Sounds like the comparable is Brock Boeser? The dude was having a really nice post season until they found the blood clots.

Not really a lesson to be learned when they made the right call with Korchinski. He wouldn't have learned squat going back to Jr. Maybe he will see some times at the AHL in the next year or two here, but maybe not, he did improve as the year progressed.
