I find a need to say this...

Harping on contracts & female doging about players in the offseason is getting very stale. Is it too much to ask to let them train & play hockey before we have 7 more months of the same ol same ol?

It would be nice to see him get another shot but yikes...from Aquillini to Melnyk, hard to imagine him having anymore success out there.

Yes.

During an end to end play drill. Pettersson went bar down over nilsson. Skated the other way and did the exact same to demko. Crowd went nuts. Buddy says its so clear that he is next level over everyone there

The kid can snipe that’s for sure. It’s not often many players are that accurate & do it often. Keeps goalies honest & covering down low is any goalies go to.

Imagine having the best player in the league, and imagine being connor mcdavid, and hearing that despite your talent, your team and management is so bad, that other top talents wouldnt entertain joining you.

Even an average GM like Gillis is a massive upgrade on Dorion


I can’t see him working well with Melnyk though

Per jeff Patterson

Green has dahlen - gagner - boeser practicing together for line drills and forward drills

Wouldn’t read much into line combos with camp split into 2 main groups. I’d think that's by design to see what everyone has.

To be fair, the city itself probably has something to do with it as well. It’s also possible that Karlsson may have preferred the lowkey lifestyle of playing in an American city.

Yes.

Well i tried 😂😂👍

My buddy is at whistler for training camp
Says boeser is looking stronger and faster (if you can believe it) from last year.
Juolevi looks to be a bit gassed but is making smart and great defensive plays. Gadjovich is standing out to him. Green has had petterson paired with baertschi and goldobin for most of the forward drills.
Will continue to pass along information as it comes in.

PTOs are paired
AHL players are paired
NHL players are paired

I agree it most likely doesnt mean much, as its just practice drills, but these could be the lines they use for scrimmage over the next few days, and over the preseason depending on chemistry/success

Truly are so many variables and reasons, but still. Mcdavid ffs lol

Now we know why Benning decided not to offer Brock a contract yet.


His face alone has gained 5 pounds

His contract is yucky but I like what he brings to this team

$$$’s don’t matter for us at this point in time. It’s what he can bring to the team & how that helps us going forward. If his contract is a problem for us down the road then its a good thing being others have earned big contracts meaning we have greatly improved. Just my 2 bits

Yeah, we’re lucky they hired Chia

He’s gonna get paid so that’s not an issue but if tax advantages is his motivator that's another story idk.

City lifestyle might or might not be a factor for EK & if it is we look ok but winning will probably be the big decider.

Playing in California sounds great to me


Chill at the beach on your days off without people annoying you and you get to play on a pretty decent team as well.

Well we can expect TG trying out line combos in the ex games for sure. wise to see what options arise from it.

Got Lucic to sign there 😂😂
How did that work out?

I hearya but the term means nothing yet while we have this ongoing rebuild & draft & develop. Again down the road is too far to determine what it means.
