Well it was clearly a sarcastic AF comment so not embarrassing at all.
The point was that Focht hasn’t done enough to garner must excitement - imo he should be tearing it up and he’s not = Flaccid
Madden is probably the only true C prospect we have. And Costmar
- Brooks_Light

Cam Robinson seems to like Focht, and he follows these players way more than I do, also Focht is on a crappy team.

Yeah, I missed him on the read through. (See edit). I like what I saw from him. Still a bubble guy at 26.

Don't take this the wrong way it is a serious question for anyone. Can you name me one team that has more than 2 AHL players ready to step in tomorrow full time into the NHL.

Canucks have one of the best prospect pools and best AHL depth.

Rather Graovac over Schaller and possibly Motte. Would've been nice to see him in a few more games, he checks off a lot of boxes as a 4th line guy.

From what I've followed, Lind seems to be a guy who might be the next Gaudette. Where he keeps the door open after he gets his shot.

Belleville Sens Drake Batherson, Josh Brown,

Next year Formenton, Norris.

Hurricanes

I will agree to the Canes . Blues I am not sure about that

Gaudette is the best example. He was healthy and ready to rock. AHL to NHL ready. A nice priced solution as well. We need more of that and less money in the press box.

That’s coming in the next 2-3yrs. Looking good.

Yeah chemistry is great now. Though the pace is going to be even more intense. Thus if roster healthy some players may benefit from sitting for a recharge.

JB says Ferland is ready soon. They might make a vet call and draw Motte out. Just like Sutter is getting up to speed playing on the fourth would be good for Ferland.

Maybe rotate Beagle to rest a bit with Motte and have Sutter play some center. But the race is so tight Green won't have that luxury.

That’s the options that are most likely.

Marlies.

The embarrassment part was referencing when you said something about tucking in your boner
I like Utunen so I would be fine with him, I just think Focht will be signed, regardless of his point production, the kid was a late cut of the Gold medal winning Canadian junior team.
Also, Jasek is a player who is being converted to centre as injuries have occurred, MacEwen has played mostly RW in the pro's, Madden is currently a centre, but what other prospect plays centre?
- Reubenkincade

Costmar
Zuchenov

OK so who out of this group do you think, "Hey, this guy could step in and be a full time NHL'er over 82 games"?

To me, Bailey is the most experienced, yet still has much to prove in the show. So he's still in the evaluation phase.

Edit: I missed Graovac. He's got the most NHL games. Still, on the bubble as a full timer.
- Load Management

Rafferty & the others spot duty as role players for injuries.

I will agree to the Canes . Blues I am not sure about that

I want to share your enthusiasm for the minor league depth that JB has created. That’s all his work and he’s done well. I’m just not there yet on NHL quality at this precise moment.

Saying that, I think we can all agree, next year’s camp will be a good one.

I was going to include Bruins but I couldn’t bring myself to type it.

I agree on both. I also read some print on Arizona and Flyers too but I don’t know much about them.

Lind is like Burrows lite right now.

Josh Brown is Fla I think Logan Brown is meh

Batherson was drafted the same year as Lind who has more points and is just as ready.

Formenton was drafted same year as Lind and Pettersson . I like our picks better'

Norris was drafted by SJ same year as Petey , again I like our picks more.

Solidarity man, solidarity.

Yup. Both of them are currently developing in Europe already, whereas Madden is in NCAA and would be nice to sign before 4 year rule and Focht needs to move up to next level. Imo

If they were to sign every draft pick, they would quickly run out of roster space, let some brew in other leagues and sign the ones from NCAA and chl, for Utica, 1st.

I agree on both. I also read some print on Arizona and Flyers too but I don’t know much about them.

I would say any team that is going to open up roster spots for 4 prospect next year or now are not a team I would be concerned about.

Canucks have their bases covered and they still have about 6 prospects with NHL skill

Be nice to get a look at him this season. Team needs to find out who can play at that level and who cant.

It could happen.

Not sure I made the 34% club today, but I gave it a pretty good try.😁
