nobody in Ottawa ever thought he was a top prospect. He was another "son of a father" favor pick who might have lived up to hype and the name. Except...he didn't.
Guess what. The Sens are still making picks based on this model. With similar mixed results.
Not only should hockey pool players not read too much into preseason stats, but maybe the media should too. Haha. Especially these guys getting 3 goals in just 2 games. Whoa. It's even possible that 1 of those goals came against NHL opponents. Whoa.
Anyway, if Grimaldi keeps this up he could be featured on the same line as Duchene, at least to begin the season. Could be a deadly combination for the Preds. Opposing coaches would try to prepare for Duchene, but Grimaldi could appear out of nowhere and score.
"Jack Eichel…
Ok…those picking the Knights out of the playoffs beware. Jack Eichel is finally healthy and talking to people who have watched him so far he looks every bit the guy who went 1A in the 2015 draft. If he is all that look out. If he is all that the Knights WILL make the playoffs.. He has 3 goals in just two games so far…but looks crazy good."

Huge. Humongous. Pre season games matter so much. - Minnyhock
Yep scratch that, Habs are still missing a bunch of regulars. You know queef fans will celebrate a preseason win against a split squad of the team that rinsed them in the playoffs.

If you are the Habs do you grab Barre-Boulet off waivers? was surprised to see they didn't take a shot at Suzuki's childhood buddy Ratcliffe or Radim Zohorna who Calgary eventually took. I'm guessing Kent and Gorto want to wait it out as better players will become available closer to the start of the season.
Nick Robinson. D.J. smith always said, "I don't believe in God, but I'm afraid of him." Well I believe in God, and the only thing that scares me is Nick Robinson...
