couldn't pick out one thing that stands out with klefbom. Solid in every aspect of his game, didn't see any standout flaws. Maybe skating is his best quality

He kinda has a funny gait, but nonetheless effective

bang on

Nice...

I may have added the 'mediocre'. Did mention being mistake prone and him not doin alot to quell early concerns over his hockey iq though.

Colin Dumbraskas had the idea of looking at the Rangers for castoffs, and I'm stealing it.

Sather and Lowe/MacT are probably in a good place. Rangers getting a little tight on cap. They just acquired Dorrsett and Powe, and signed Moore and Pouliot. Maybe they trade us Brian Boyle for a song?

Here's a bit from a copper n blue blog on Nurse:

Scout #1, an NHL amateur scout: "I'd rate him just behind Murray, but ahead of Larsson and Gudbranson."

Scout #2, an OHL scout: "He's a top 5 pick in 2010, and the second defenseman taken in 2011 and 2012."

Scout #3, an NHL amateur scout: "He's the best defenseman in the draft in 2010, equal to Larsson and very close to Murray, though not nearly as polished in his own end as Murray."

Thank's for straightening that out. I assumed he was a bust

Haven't looked at the blog, but let me guess... Everyone hates Penner, jagr hates us, Raymond is Raymond, hemsky plus for a LW and mact is a failed gm.

How close am I?

Probably pretty damn close. That would require I actually read his rubbish. Did anyone else read it???

Did you do this on purpose ?

Well no, but once I saw it, I figured (frank) it, it works, kinda like all these ,'s

I think one more year in the OHL will be good for him. And then the following year they should bring him to OKC and judging by how well he does we may be able to start bringing him in to play here.

That's the one that caught be as 2011 had Brodin, Larsson and Hamilton.

I think he has to spend 2 years in Soo before going to OKC.

Yeah. Think we're past the stage of needing to rush draft picks.

Im cool with a general rule of a year back in junior, a full year in the A, and them spot duty in the show. Literally 3 full years AT LEAST before u get a real shot at bein a starter in the show.
Depends on a bunch of factors of course, but just a guideline

Worked in Hay River for a summer for Buffalo Joe. Made it to Yellowknife a couple times. Banged an awful skank but thankfully didnt get AIDS.

hahaha almost fell out of my chair. Sorry to hear you worked in Hay River but at least you made it out to YK. Did you make it on the show??

Wasn't Powe just on waivers?

smid, petry, n schultz, ference all physical. Don't know what EDM has in Belov n Klefbom
- TheNugeIsHuge

I see your point. We just won't have that guy that will make you pay for having your head down. I guess its not that bad. From what I've heard Belov plays on the edge

- TheNugeIsHuge

Yes he does. But can he play at the end of his ohl season? I believe eberle did

yea, depending on how far soo goes in the playoffs

Oh maybe. In any case Boyle was a bit in the dog house, it'll be interesting to see what AV thinks of some of those guys. That's a team in major transition.

Nah that was before my time. Joe is a (frank)in prick though. the show does not exagerrate that. Partied with Justin a few times. He's a good guy.

I think Slats should sit put until he sees what he has with AV. No real point in trading guys away that might excel under a coach who isn't a female genitalia.

The big issue is going to be Arniel coaching those former Blue Jackets. Apparently the players hated him in CBJ, especially Brassard.

Right right. It's the euro leagues that they can go right into the AHL.
