TLN 16. Nick Moldenhauer Meh

Oh hey it's a real thing?! circles + puck touch makes more sense than blueline/blueline crossing (refs would die) How did it fare?

I don't disagree. I do have some skepticism about WHL production, and he was the max age for junior, so there's some caveats there. 3rd line rush/greasy finisher would be very nice. I don't think he will be playing centre.

TLN 17. Sam McCue He popped off this past season, playing higher in the lineup across two teams and generally just causing chaos and potting uggo goals with some regularity. On paper, his playstyle should translate to playoff performance, but so far, that has not borne out on the ice. It just...

Basketball style: any penalty taken in OT is a live penalty shot. Everyone else lines up at the opposite blueline while the offended player takes an attack run from the centre dot. Other players can move as soon as the shooter hits the blueline. Play is live.

This feels very familiar

Brutal seasons in baseball are extra brutal because there are So Many Games. I do enjoy seeing position players pitching though. It’s either BP or a fun eephus swinging K.

TLN 18. Cade Webber I was hoping he would click with Topi Niemela, but then Topi didn't really take any steps forward, and Webber is basically at the point where all he can do is fine tune timing with experience and maybe add more strength. Feels like a tweener unless he can handle the puck just...

I remember this vaguely being very funny, so I looked it up. Called up for last game in 06, scored. Called up for one game in 07, scored. Called up again in 08 for a longer stretch, scored in that first game. Called up in December 08 and scored in each of his first three games (5 in 6...

It wasn’t even the worst loss of the season for Colorado; they lost to the Padres on May 10 21-0

Really just takes a series against the Rockies to re-skew the production

I think this is going to nearly even up now

Acquiring a rangy forechecky 2-way RW will help maximize the glut of zippy LWs (Domi, Maccelli, Robertson, Cowan). Or they have to play RW themselves to make use of the plethora of forechecky LWs (Knies, Joshua, McMann, Lorentz). I don't really like having all the playmaking from one side of the...

TLN 19. Hudson Malinoski He was already a very long shot at the draft when he was selected D+1 in Rd 5 because of his grievous accident injury when he was younger, so just even playing hockey is gravy. Production in his sophomore season with Providence was numerically similar (+2G, +3A) and he...

Marlies are projected to be over the veteran limit without some game day roster juggling (which happens naturally anyway), but I can see them giving Matt Benning and/or one of the older forwards a shot at a rebuilding NHL roster. Bolded ones have NHL SPCs. Up front it's a logjam: I have them in...

Actually, it's Zach Braff

TLN 20. Borya Valis In case you missed it, Borya Valis was a free agent signing out of the WHL back in March. He finished his final season with the Prince George Cougars putting up 80 pts in 66 GP. He's a 6'2" RW that plays an energy game and likes to go to the net with the puck; it started...

Another year of living rent-free in downtown Toronto for Alex.
