Prospect Info: Henrik Borgström (2016, #23 overall), Univ. of Denver (NCAA), signed ELC on 3/26/2018

[Bure1096]

Sign him after the season, if he's as special as he looks, we need to keep our own talent with another expansion draft coming up. We need to think about the future and not about the immediate future.

 

[FLpanthers16]

Might be a Panther as soon as Monday if it goes that way with the playoffs.

Don't want him playing this year but next year's lineup could be deadly

Dadanov - Barkov - KOVULCHUK
Hubby - Trochek - Borgstrum
Malgin - McCann - Vatrano
Mamin - McGinn - Sceviour

Tippet first call up, ship out Bjug for a 2nd pair dman, idk just spitballing no wonder Mascherin wants out tho

It's NHL or juniors for Tippett.

I started to think last night that even if Vatrano keeps looking good it will be tough for him to land a longterm spot on the team with Borgstrom& Tippett additions.

 

[BB88]

Then we should trade Tippett for a young quality top 4 d-man with upside. Move Pysyk somehow to clear some cap space. Maybe Tippet and Pysyk for ???

I don't think he has enough value to justify a move for a D-man, they are so damm valuable today, and you'd have to get quality D-man similar aged for him.

Best way is to sign Borgstom and add him+ Tippett to next years roster and try to draft the best D-man possible from this years draft. If you want to use a 1st in a trade use next years with protection+Pysyk.

I'm curious how Borgstrom will look like in the pro's, but he has to turn pro after this season, otherwise it would be a step back.

Damn yeah that's what I thought but I wasn't sure. Wouldve been fine trading Tip for some D help but I'm not so sure now with Mascherin most likely gone. Depends how the draft goes I guess.

Have to add to the previous that ELC's are gold and he's your best answer to fix the longerm weakness at F.

Good read, brought up some good questions. Who to sit if Borg is signed? Burn the year in his ELC?

Tough choices.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Again, he is a clutch performer, a goal and assist. Ohio should be a great matchup but also a death blow tomorrow. I'm so curious what they do with him when the time comes.

The only team that really concerned me was St. Cloud State, this Denver team is better than the one that won the NCAA championship last season IMO.

Troy Terry and Borgstrom are unreal. Should have very successful careers going forward.

Yeah just have to get Terry on this team lol.

Denver down 1-0 in the second

Jalliet might be the worst technical goalie I’ve ever seen.

Game is on ESPN. They gave a stat that Ohio State is 18-0-3 when scoring first this season.

Denver has an elite top line interesting stat but I don't think they can score one and then play keep away form these guys

 

[FinlandPanther]

Borgtrom stopped a 3 on 1 lol.

 

[IceManCat]

Borgstom is no Barkov but he is making great defensive plays in this game. Ive noticed more defensive plays than offensive ones from him

 

[IceManCat]

Troy Terry is a Trocheck carbon copy

Agreed. He has some nice hockey sense. Only complaint I have so far is he completely stops moving sometimes. That doesn’t fly on the nhl but that’s easily fixable. He also made a great pass to terry through 3 people.

First game I have really watched. His board work looks good and as you stated, he broke up that 3 on 1.

Ohio State up 2-0

Wonder what Anaheim would want for him? This year's first and a 2019 second?

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Denver down 2-0 now.
Dun dun dunnn....
Will he or won't he suit up this week?

If he improves the chance of getting into PO then I would imagine he'd be signed.

Tough call. His exempt roster spot for Seattle expansion may be important in 2 years. At worst sign him and have him come hang out/train/practice with the team to get familiar with everyone.
