If he does it, they should rename him Jesus Hockey.

He also suggested Draisaitl should go play in the KHL or SEL to work on his foot speed and compete level instead of the CHL.

I am posting over there calling him on all his BS.

MacKinnon didnt even get 30. Monahan had 22 so Johnny Hockey is better goal scorer than both of them?

Realistically he might get 20, but lets not get crazy here. The west just got tougher and tougher this offseason, Flames young kids are goign to get bullied

I will be surprised if he makes 20 games without someone taking his head off his shoulders.

Esplen thinks the Flames goons will talk to people and then nobody will flatten him, I think he's wrong.

Monahan had a high shooting percentage too.

What's crazy is had Mackinnon been born one week later he would be eligible for this years draft and JUST making his debut this year

What's a realistic expectation for Moroz this year in OKC? I'm gonna predict 15 goals and 20 assists.

I'm going with a less (but minimum) 10 goals, 15 assists, 90 PIM.

How the Hell is Joensuu/Yak 2 bumping Pitlick and Lander?
- Jeropotato


Lander is a centre and I really don't think he would be an improvement over Gordon who is our #1 faceoff guy and a shudown defensive forward. Maybe it might be between Arco and Lander, but I think that Arco has shown us that he can handle the 2nd line centre position more better than Lander.

However I reallyyyyyy want to see a line of Yak2 and Yak centred by a big Russian in the future (Malkin? ). That line would just be epic! (Imagine the chemistry) .

But I guess for now you might be right about pitlick being the better choice.
However, the only reason I just put Joensuu on the 4th line was because of his early showings in the beginning of the year. He was exactly what we needed, but then it seemed like he lost it once he went injured.

If Lander starts in OKC, he'd be a good guy to Centre Moroz I would think. Either way, I hope they put Moroz in a position to succeed offensively.

To get Malkin you are giving up Yak and then a heck of a lot more, so no one will be able to imagine since a thing

Lander has a one-way contract though, correct? So I imagine he would be waiver-eligible. I suspect Lander will be a fulltime Oiler this whole season unless he pulls a Belanger/Eager.

Hmm forgot. Same with Arco too.

I'd definitely sign Loktionov on a two way deal so that the farm team has a good offensive centre at that level. If he makes the team, even better.

I mean at 6'2 210 n 6'5 210, Draisaitl n Yak2 may not have the muscle mass it takes to grab cop ass, but I think they have NHL bodies

that's pretty macT bold for a guy that had 34P in the WHL the season before this past.

I feel like Tyler Biggs or Kale Kessy might be close comparisons, looking at their CHL numbers. I'd think just under 20 points
