I think it’s too early to tell how his game will shake out. That first period goal yesterday shows the kid has some skill.

I think as the game slows down for him and as his confidence rises, he'll become a contributor. He's not going to put up the points that Provorov or Ghost will, but he'll chip in some offense here and there, I do believe.

I'm pretty confident in making that statement.

I think that is a really valid point..
We have been so spoiled by those two it sort of sets unfair expectations.

Ok then. You also have to define what range of production a regular point producing defenseman falls into. 25 pts? 40?

Fair enough.
What is wrong with a good number 5 then?
Not a single thing since you need 6 or 7 good dmen.

This I think is were he ends up....but I agree there’s more upside. I think the fact that he plays physical has been a nice surprise. I think he actually has the skill set to be a decent second pairing...but with so many skilled guys coming he may not get the chance.

I see Hagg as being a guy who scores 2-5 goals and 10 assists or so a season ball park.

I think Ghost, hard to believe, is their most improved player. What he has done on the defensive side of his game is astonishing and he deserves some talk for the Norris.

I'm unable to watch the Preds-Blues game.

How many hat tricks does Brayden Schenn have in the game?

TIA

I see that as being a little too low. His draft profile at the time talked about his underlying skill without the assertiveness. I can see him in the 20-30 range once he settles in, but we’ll see.

I agree with the thought that his defensive game has improved by leaps and bounds this season. I disagree with Norris consideration, though.

If they want Lehterä back they’ll just have to pony up another 1st. For Weise, I’ll take a ball of used hockey tape and some dryer lint

He'll get some votes but he won't be a high finisher but with the season he is having he deserves more consideration than he will get.

This isn't 2010 when Mike Green beat out Chris Pronger for a nomination after finishing with his third best season of Pronger's entire career.

I can already see him on a Rags jersey next year.
