Kristo plays as a senior in a league too weak for him. His off-ice decisions raise a red flag for me. Yes, I'd trade him for Clowe. #Habs

thoughts?

i can agree with this, we have plenty of other snipers who are under 6 feet coming up, i mean between Dumont, Kristo and Collberg we can afford to lose one of these guys for a bigger tougher PWF

From my blog, last summer, about Dietz.




I will always remember the first thing I heard about him. Cody Nickolet @WHLfromabove said of Darren that "He will punch anyone's face in".

He was right, fighting is a big part of Dietz's game. He isn't scared of anyone, a trait that seems common throughout the Blades' roster and he will defend a teammate any chance he gets. Dietz is a tremendous skater that loves to carry the puck in the enemy's territory to open up passing lanes. He also thrives when he's playing physical, it's not a fun task to play against him. He has pretty good hands and as he gets more and more confidence in his offensive assets, you'll see him use them more often.

But the best part of Dietz's game is his Defensive play, he labels himself as a stay-at-home D, and always thinks Defense-first. He could eventually become a 2nd/3rd pairing two-way physical D. He has the physical attributes, the skating ability, the skill, the hockey sense and the physical play to become so.

He's going to play a last year in Junior as the Blades will be hosting the Memorial Cup. It will be interesting to see him play in pressurized situations like that. He should become a Pro the year after.

Here's a name Habs fan should keep in mind come the rookie camp and in the next few years. He could potentially become yet another steal by Timmins later in the draft. That same Timmins apparently raves about Dietz's potential and loves his attitude and his game.

I'll be happy when Dietz and Thrower are on the habs blueline to stay. Tinordi and Beaulieu as well. When they replace Weber, Kaberle, Diaz and Boullion, the habs should be a better team.

How'd you like Tinordi yesterday? Only caught the first period and will actually watch the rest right about now. Saw that he had an assist

He looked very nervous in the first.

He was shaky at times, but he got better as the game went on.

I didn't see the first period, nice play for the assist, he looked nervous, but it was to be expected. Wasn't great or terrible, unnoticeable mostly, until the assist and when he came over to protect the captain.

I liked the fact that Mike wasn't afraid to use him late in the game.

It's because it's what he's good at. He is and will be a shutdown D.

Give him a few years to add weight, and he'll be very hard to play against.

I liked how Moen decided to jump into the fold after Tinordi had it well at hand. For a while there he was pretty much just watching it unfold and did nothing. He might to be reminded that the only reason we went after Prust is because he wasn't worth a (frank) and didn't do his job...

Brady Vail to play the rest of the year in Hamilton with the Dogs, as Windsor won't make the playoffs. It will be a nice experience for him

His -7 in the AHL is just a tribute to that.

Considering how bad the team is and the fact that he plays 25 minutes a night, it's good.

Collberg is playing on the 2nd line for Frolunda, that was his first game there, and guess what, he had an assist. It's playoff time in the SEL.

He was a PPG at the WJC for Sweden despite playing with an injury.
