Wild fans need to chill. He's an AHLer.

I want to know what kind of deal Guttman is going to get from someone that led him to turn us down.
Edit: just saw he's heading to Chicago, but not official yet.

Lol

We're going to need our own goon. Maroon trying to wrestle on Tkachuk will probably result in his teeth being knocked in.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyScotty</b></div><div>Why do you think that Cole Koepke cracks the lineup over Alex Barre-Boulet?

When fully healthy does Palat leaving indicate that Cirelli finally makes the top 6 permanently? Now that you have Nick Paul long term he can hold down the pivot spot on the 3rd line. Having Cirelli, Stamkos, Point is a big luxury in the top 6; add Kucherov, Killorn, and Hagel and that is still a dangerous top 2 lines; with Paul, Colton and Namestnikov on the 3rd and then Maroon-Bellemare-Perry (at least for 1 more year if healthy) and this is still a top 5 Eastern squad.</div></div>

BB is a skill guy who's either going to have his skill translate in a Top 9 position or not make the starting roster.

I view Koepke as a Colton-type, but without the center ability. Could probably play anywhere in the Bottom 9.

I don't know what to make of Cirelli. He hasn't been very effective as a winger, and Stamkos was much more effective after moving from wing to center last year. Personally, I'd run Point, Stamkos, Cirelli down the middle. But Cirelli gets the PP1 spot over Killorn and ofc retains his primary PK role.
