90% of us thought Dahlin would be a Norris candidate by now and and Mittelstadt would be a 60 point 2C
- sbroads24


Dahlin is on pace for 56 points on a team ranked second last in expected goals.

Mitts has been hurt all year.

Might not be Norris candidate or 60 point 2C but Dahlin is trending in that direction and we have no idea what kind of jump Mitts would have made this year if it weren’t for injuries.

And Devon Levi

I’m very excited to see what Levi does. His size does concern me

He has to finish strong this season. He had an awful first quarter of the season and a great second quarter. This last half he should be a top 20 defenceman in the NHL, or he's had a bad year to me.

Jhonas Enroth: 5'11"

Juuse Saros: 5'11"

Devon Levi: 6'0"

I guess we'll just have to see which direction it goes: Saros or Enroth

Dahlin will be the same age this year as Makar and Fox were when they finished their rookie seasons.

Tough to preach patience to a fan base that is out of patience but he’s doing admirably well given the circumstances.

Maybe, could also be the NHLPA negotiating on a rule that is really unfair to these players.

That's what I was alluding to.

I want more D from him but his offense has really picked up.

Him/Samuelson would be a great pair
Power and a stay at home RD
Johnson and Joki on 3rd pair

Gives you a skater and stay at home D on each pair. If we don’t have a #1 center win with D and a goalie (when we get one)

Dell clears

Whoa now, what's this Dell talk? Nonsensical and off-topic.

Odd technicality, Power's contract can't slide. If he signs this season, it will burn a year.
- Lunaion

Is that because of going to College

Cong posted the rule. It's basically because he's signing his contract a year later, and his birthday falls into that exception range.

Hopefully Samuelsson could make the switch, he's played it off and on this year. But not every Dman can play there opposite side.

Rochester …. What he’s done in college is given him a shot at an ELC.

Really, cause that's very quick, even with that surgery most contact sports took 5 months to be cleared. Well I would be calling Kelly up and see what's up then, because Martinez is almost ready to. That’s gonna be a lot of money they will need to move around
