at this point KK is worth more to us than a second, don't HF boards everyone with draft picks
I'll check my email when I'm back at my computer this afternoon.
I wasn't able to watch the 2nd preseason game but Serg was a beast at fan fest and the highlight of his goal is awesome.
So did Serge look like a nhler ? will he make the club ?
Because a second has >30% Chance of ever making the nhl, and we’re competing now? Has everyone completely forgotten about the injury issues last year? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

With Koekkoek's play how exactly does he help even if we get injured? Unless the goal is just to fill bodies on the ice, Koekkoek was terrible during callup last year - to your point we're competing now we don't need liabilities like that, you could use a 2nd in a trade for upgrades.
You talk like we're trading away an effective NHLer, right now he's a bottom tier bottom pairing dman at best - he REALLY needs to step up and do something this year.
In Koekkoek's defense though, we were all very high on him after the 2016 playoffs. Then we kind of Brett Connolly'd him last year.
I would have hoped early reports on him were better. I'm just saying, it wasn't THAT long ago that he still looked like a very good prospect.
I guess I'd be for moving him as long as one of the other prospects, one without a history of Yzerman/Cooper yoyo-ing them around, looked ready to step in immediately. But I think there's still a pretty good chance KK develops into a solid NHLer.
Again, it’s been one single preseason game.

No no, I’m dumb. Not the hive mind knee jerk reaction. Mea culpa.
If you let that kind of stuff throw you off your game that bad then you're weak mentally. Brett Connolly hasn't exactly gotten any better since we moved on from him, he's a fringe NHL player who's benefit is that he's cheap depth.
I still think he can be a top-4 d-man as well but he's running out of time to prove that in this organization. Regardless of his treatment this year he needs to make the most of any opportunity he's given, including pre-season.
Excellent. Provide no content to defend the idea that Koekkoek deserves a spot on this team despite his abysmal play last season, and when people point out that his spot on the team is not assured, give a sarcastic and content-less response instead.
At least Hose presents facts (taken completely out of context, but facts nonetheless) to defend his opinions instead of relying entirely on bald assertions.
my assertion has always been lets give him more time before the trade block (which was suggested), which has history on it's side. whatever strawman you are attacking based on my position is irrelevant to me.
