Kulikov to Edmonton, I was pleasantly surprised by his skating and puck skills. Had really strong advanced numbers too. Was he always considered decent? CF3234
He was drafted to be an offensive defenseman. Somehow he became a solid bottom pairing presence that didn't hurt you defensively but provided very little offense. Decent would be the perfect way to describe him.
Zac Jones (UMass) expected to sign with NYR after winning a National Championship this weekend. Really surprising considering he voiced his desire to play another season in college before the NCAA Tournament. Also question marks around how ready he is and why the Rangers would burn a year on his ELC for this season.
Knowing the NHL they will play the game and everyone will be forced to wear blue armbands in honor of the police.
Is it just me or does that seem like a lot for Mantha? Vrana has been one of the most productive ES scorers in the league on a per minute basis the last few years. He just can’t get any PP time behind Ovi.
This is confirmation Yzerman doesn’t see this team making a playoff run for 3-4 more years. He’s selling high on Mantha because by the time we hit our window, he won’t be a part of it.
or almost every forward he acquired that’s still with the lightning. He never really went for the power forward type.
