I think I'm a Lundell fan over Rossi as well, 2bh what Lundell was doing in Europe earlier this year was pretty special.


I was not a Lundell guy at the draft, had him way down my board. So far I've been very wrong about him

Spezza won't report to any team that claims him.

"After the first four days of the NHL season, Erik Karlsson is the league’s ice time leader at 29:41 per game."; per Kevin Kurz.
Karlsson has been noticeable for the Sharks but the load is evident, and there's little help in the first couple games - if the Sharks want to win they need to move Ferraro to the top pair and Simek needs to come back for the second pair with Burns needing to step up.

John Leonard; Sharks rookie has already been making an impactful debut - with praise coming from the coaches regretting not utilizing him more. Look for #43 in SJS vs STL as he could become a winning ingredient for the Sharks.

Alex "Sasha' Chmelevski or Handemark could debut Monday with Kellman being waived.

its just a thread for 2021 season - random info, updates and game analysis/ discussion; that's my assumption.

instead of posting a million AGMs its condensed into a single thread for those who want to talk/ share info without clogging the AGM area with meaningless posts

Ottawa, you know what to do. The Senators can claim Spezza, that way they weaken a divisional opponent and allow Spezza to retire as a Senator. It’s perfect!

No, it's a discussion about the NHL and things happening in it, your added as the local Nashville expert, I stead of posting your AGM about how bad or good a team is we created this for that. See people doing it above.

That's a lot of minutes...is he playing good enough to deserve that? He didn't seem to be on the first Arizona game.

Ottawa of all teams would have too much respect for Spezza to do him dirty like that

first game was alright, Id say 5-6/10 "score". Looked like he was clearly taking it easy IMO - not trying to kill himself and trying to ease into the game; although that first game he ended up playing a franchise record (for season opener) 32 minutes lmfao.

second game he actually played well, was one of the few players you couldnt be "mad" at. Even tho game one he was on for all the goals I would "blame" him for any.

The main issue is coming from Simek being injured. Ferraro should be the top pair but its vlasic being on the top pair instead (he hasnt been god awful tho), and Burns not playing amazing. Simek being injured is a glaring issue thats very noticeable and we havent found a 3rd pair that clicks. Its basically Mario and Karlsson playing on the backend.

Can I add you to the list?!

Agree sabres coach takes the young guys out sometimes after bad games and it's ruins confidence and they are harder to get back on track....


Ya why not

Panthers should be more exciting to watch this season, if only the division realignment didn't have to happen so I could watch us smoke the leafs and habs

The panthers have Barkov, Huberdeau, and some third liners up front. They lost two of their more exciting forwards in Hoffman and Dadonov.

Dumba off to a solid start this year. First game he had a few really good chances on the PP but couldn't find the back of the net, last night he looked great and scored 2 goals. Excited to see him build on this and return to the player Wild fans know he can be.

Question(s) Experts???

* What is the definition of the "NHL non-roster" designation I see these days?
* I presume with potential for COVID complications (re: Dallas) - the "Taxi-Squad" are the allowable call ups normally sitting in the AHL...?

Cheers
