Preds were playing their 3rd game in 4 nights, all on the road, different times zones, lost luggage, etc. Much harder than being home for 3 in 4 nights. |

Eriksson ek would be nice to have right now. i know fletch doesn't want him playing 4th line min but why not put haula on 4 and have JEE center the 3rd? the difference in talent level would be huge with JEE & haula vs haula & graovac. the deadline to bring him back over just passed i believe and i'd rather have that kid than some poopty bottom 6 guy at the deadline |

I acutally wanted to see Graovac given another chance to center a higher line. He played fantastically well when he was given the opportunity before. Schroeder, much like Granlund and Coyle, is much better suited to the wing. the game can be chalked up misses by Coyle and Nino that, had they gone in instead of hitting the pipe, would have won the Wild the game and the Wild being out possessed and out shot badly. |

When Haula went out hurt and they rotated the 3 centers on each line. Grao ended up getting a lot of time on the top two lines and played really well. He seems to thrive with other skaters that can really move. Even though it's not showing up on the score sheet a lot of the little things he's doing are creating space for Stewart and now Schroeder to score goals. He's playing well in his own end and in the corners. |

i was hoping for more results from him. got the speed and size he's just slow with O zone decision making. holds on to long to shoot or to late with passes maybe he'll get better. time to adjust is different for everyone when they first get in the league i.e. nino, coyle are mutch better than 2yrs ago |

Im really hoping the same because he has all of the tools to be a top 6 center. When he's aggressive in the O zone, spinning away from defenders and driving the net he seems almost unstoppable. He needs to stop deferring and start taking charge more. |
