Anyone think that Ryan O'Reilly could maybe be moved to LW? Bott mentioned how versatile a lot of our players are. Maybe he moves Reinhart to center in that scenario

I would keep ROR at center. Reinhart seems fine at the wing.

Yes but my main concern is we only have one top 6 LW in Kane. We traded/Lost Foligno, Ennis, and Carrier. LW is thin

He was on the wing

I am moving him to LW if im the coach. He can still take faceoffs

And let's not act like Tim C wasn't a star if wasn't for the concussions who knows what he could have been

there is a difference between one of the star players on the team

a fringe all star


and a perennial all star


and top 5 players in the game


connolly was nowhere close to being a constant all star player

rads would not have been close



and neither deserve conversation when naming current top 5 players in the nhl

ror-eichel-okposo
kane-reinhart-pommer
pouliot-girgens-gionta
blah blah-larsson-blah blah


I like it more 2 years from now when asplund, nylander, bailey, baptiste and mittelstadt are with the big club

Mittelstadt could be on the team by the end f the season if we are lucky

I do think at some point, ROR will need to be moved to the wing

Was he even a top 5 player in the KHL?

Blaine Byron declined to sign with Pens. Do you think GMJB could be interested? I think he is an August 15th guy.

rochester needs another center or 2

Every draft analyst I read has this kid going at picks 2 or 3.

2. C Casey Mittelstadt | Green Bay Gamblers, USHL | 6’0, 201 | 11/22/98: No
draft-eligible player exemplifies infectious leadership the way this Minnesotareared
super scorer does, and there’s a strong chance Mittelstadt will end up within
a select group of prospects to challenge Nolan Patrick for the top slot. Size, speed,
grace, vision, power and enthusiasm are just a few words one throws around when
dissecting his game, and it will be on display for the University of Minnesota in the
fall of 2017. Mittelstadt is a money player with a deadly shot, using his size and
lower body strength to step into it with NHL-level velocity. He can also make flashy
plays and use a dizzying array of puck skills to turn defenders inside-out before
threading the needle with a crisp pass. Mittelstadt can play both center and wing,
but he exploits his acute sense for finding and acquiring pucks from either position.
He led the USHL in scoring as a rookie before returning to high school, where his bid
to lead Eden Prairie to a state AA title fell just short.

We could have done a lot worse. Like Rasmussen.
