I think JVR has a much higher chance to potentially work at C than Kadri ever could... but I could be wrong.

What do you guys think the odds are that Komisarek regains his form this year and plays a decent shutdown game, maybe as our #4 guy with Liles?

Phaneuf Gunnarsson
Liles Komisarek
Gardiner Franson
Holzer

- gravyface

I say Komi gets into a fight with Lucic, gets knocked out for the year and Holzer takes his spot and takes us to Lord Stanley. Is that too much of a stretch?

Kadri will be a winger as that is what he has been since he got drafted
- klasic

actually, Kadri's played center on and off for the Marlies every season since being drafted.

Man, it seems like every day more and more college players, and even coaches are joining twitter.

Discuss.

Just looking at Corsi stuff... Apparently, James Van Riemsdyk is a better player than Ovechkin, who is at Steckel's level.

JVR seems excited to join the Leafs. I can envision a breakout year for him.

I think it's pretty safe to assume he'll score ~100 points at center.

If he sticks at center, I'd be happy with 60-70 points....

Lots of people have played different positions.

Using Leaf players

Wendel Clark played D his entire career until he was drafted and played for the Leafs. He played Left Wing for his entire pro career.
Jake Gardiner was a forward who was converted to playing D.

I would think that switching from forward to D and vice versa is just as hard as switching from wing to centre.

- ILoveLamp


Gardiner played forward in high school, not college. Doesn't count

Yup. watching folks go on and on about that corsi poop, ive found it so interesting i havent even bothered to Google it. Likely the next plus/minus or point per game.

Corsi/fenwick are good poop. Better than plus/minus, paints a better picture of a player's ability (especially defensively) than blocks, giveaways, takeaways, etc.
