Not sure what Slafs deal is at 3-4 months, but no surgery. And ya, hope Goal isn't injury prone.

Lol. Who's not a 'bust' from that draft class so far? Shane Wright pretty 'bust' as well so far. Is Slaf the right pick? Probably not, but I think it far too early to tell or make much better analysis than there was at draft time.

he looked like a weird reach at the time and now looks like a bad reach. yeah they should have just taken the boring safe center in wright. no clue about anyone else, didn't follow that draft at all

yup sadly he's lived on the IR the last few years.

vgk jettisoning him for cap space was one of the few rare good moves they've made in their existence.

Slav showed some flashes of a shot, vision, puck protection with his body. He struggled getting 11 mins a night with linemates like Josh Anderson, Christian Dvorak, and Brendan Gallagher or worse...not exactly creative passers on a team spending all game in their own zone giving up 40 shots a night with 4 rookie d-man trying to hold things down.

He is 18, say 6'3.5'' and 230. He was probably 5'11'' 190 as a 15 or 16 year old. So he has had 25 Covid months to grow into his body and play in the NHL. He might be a bust or an all-star idk. He has a good attitude, I think. Chara sucked but made himself a legend, so hard work goes a long way in this equation imo. I say Chara because there is a good chance Slav gets to 6'5'' and already he is one of the heaviest guys in NHL, could be a monster. or a bust lol. Shane Wright not exactly...any good this year in NHL. Think he will be fine though, not great.

Yeah, seemingly awful how Boudreau thing was dragged out. Pretty embarrassing from an organizational standpoint. Hearing Rick Tocchet’s name for Canucks

Confirmed.

Tocchet new HC.

Adam Foote has been named Assistant Coach and Sergei Gonchar has been hired as a Defensive Development Coach.

Boudreau and AC Trent Cull out.

I just read an article where they got ChatGPT to write about the Flyers. The results were not that good, and not always factual, but not all that much worse than our local hacks.

I think, if it worked well, it could give a sobering perspective to fans.

Who wants to try first?

Habs 2nd rounder Lane Hutson might end up being the true number 1 from that draft. His size kept him from being a top pick. 5'9 145!. They say the 18 yr old D-man for Boston U is 5'10'' 161 now. Putting up points with 9 goals 18 assists in 22 games. Shiftiness is really high. Will play another year in college they say.

Don't know how long it will take GMs to realize size doesn't matter. Proven dumb time and time again. Look at Caufield falling to 15th.

they are absolute trash without him out there

they're supposedly in the mix for horvat, along with seattle, boston, and others
he's turned himself into a sniper while playing with trash, would be a solid 1c/good 2c on a contender


would probably help the canucks if larkin re-signs
anyone know what's going on with him?
