Just over 20 degrees on the back deck yesterday. Absolutely glorious.

Nice, that’s the low here, 20-27 almost every day.

Willander has a higher ppg than Makar in his D+1 year and the guy doesn't even play much on the PP

Yes, but you’re in Mexico and I’m in Canada… in March. I’m loving this whole global warming thing. Shoulda done this decades ago.

NCAA defencemen points per game in their D+1 year:

Charlie McAvoy - .68
𝗧𝗼𝗺 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 - .𝟲𝟲
Cale Makar - .62
Brock Faber - .44

Also while getting very little powerplay time.

That's good company. I would like to see a a more complete list though.

Makar played for UMASS and they were kind of poop all around. 8th in the conference that year. Willander is playing for the 2nd best team in the country, with the future #1 overall draft pick.

Makar when he was drafted was a very dynamic offensive defender. Willander when drafted was a steady 200 foot defender with some offensive capabilities.

Jake Sanderson had a higher PPG than QH as a 19 year old in College.

Ian Cole had the same PPG as a 19 year old as Charlie MacAvoy.

Lebrun re Thatcher Demko: he’s still week to week and that it’s hard to set a specific time frame.

Allvin to Lebrun regarding pending UFAs on the roster: “...based on the conversations that I have had with the players’ agents and the players, it’s an environment that the players like. So we’ll have to figure out if it works for both sides"

“At this point, we probably wait, yeah, unless they come in and they’re begging to sign a really team-friendly deal.”

Allvin to Lebrun re Lindholm:

“Initially when we made the deal, I talked to his camp and said our intention was to sign him, but obviously it’s got to work for both sides."

Oh okay so Willander is nothing special and we should temper expectations cause he probably won't make the NHL

If that's what you got from that, then sure.

-20c overnight here Wednesday and possibly another 20-40cm of snow by the end of the week.

I'm looking forward to tonight, going to see Led Zepagain at the McPherson.

Demko needs the rest. Good news is if we get the loser point in the next 6 games we should still make the Po's.

Lindholm is very far removed from his 82 point season in Calgary in 2022.

7 points in 19 games here not ready to toss the towel in on him yet. Just needs to be utilized properly. The guy can score.

If Lindholm is going to play with Garland, then clearly Joshua is going to have stir that drink because they have done nothing with Podkolzin.

Since the trades, the line up has not worked very well.
