6K also had hip surgery? Maybe that explains why Taylor didn't play him for ROC in the playoffs, but still, WTF?

Weird how this just came out of nowhere.

My cousin was a goalie for Hofstra.
Couple years back

Had hip surgery, now plays defensive

Another Gerbe overreaction.

Obviously 6k will never play again. Off to the glue factory w him.

I never said he wouldn’t play again but hip surgery is serious you have to have a backup plane if it doesn’t work out and knight would be hard to pass up after the news

Well, Sexton said the surgery was successful and he is expected to make a full recovery.

Just saying

Haven't heard anything about this, but does Martinook get a call from the league for this:

I would imagine that would warrant a suspension.

Just for reference, Thatcher Demko went through a similar thing. Maybe younger guys are just being proactive about injuries

The next year, he won the Hobey Baker

Yea but he be a high pick just like 6k
I’m never a fan of drafting goaltenders in the first or second but scouts say he has Carey Price qualities

But that’s Not to say I don’t think 6k is going to be a franchise goalie I believe he will be like Pekka Rinne

Craig Button said he wouldn’t be surprised if Cole Caufield went 3rd overall.

Personally, I'd love that. It would mean we'd get one of Turcotte, Cozens or Pod. Sign me up.

Doesn’t hurt to have another great young goalie prospect

Craig Button is an analyst because he got fired from GMing. That said. That group of players where we're drafting are all special.

This. Hoping another team takes him and someone takes Podkozlin and Byram. Turcotte is my choice. If Caufield drops to us I think you have to take him.
