He isn't a T-Bone. He is a perfect George!
Disagree SHL playoffs will be the most competitive hockey either one of them will get to play this season. Hopefully they get a healthy dose of it.Hopefully both will be on a plane to the US by the end of the week.
Dont see how a handful of games in north america are going to help them adjust.If Rogle was good and could make a deep run, I might agree. But from what little I know about the SHL, that isn't happening.
Getting use to life over here as well as getting a taste of AHL/NHL games could be very beneficial as well.
Would love to see Kasper for the last nine of the season in the winged wheel.
Rogle wins 3-2 and forces a deciding Game 3 tomorrow at 2
A rest could be beneficial as well.If Rogle was good and could make a deep run, I might agree. But from what little I know about the SHL, that isn't happening.

Which is beyond stupid. This is free NHL experience time.A rest could be beneficial as well.
I think it's very doubtful they bring them over for a few games. They're not even calling up Edvinsson or Söderblom.
VAH-LEEN-DUH!
yeah but can he play defense
Good, he already knows Newsys systemThey had only 11 shots on goal. Seems like a lucky W.
It was (though wallinders goal was nice). Rogle finally got superior goaltending for a gameThey had only 11 shots on goal. Seems like a lucky W.
Yes. Not as good as Seider or Edvinsson but he’s a better skater than both and he might be better offensively than Edvinsson.
Comparing him to the current roster? Maatta and Seider are better defenders. Hagg and Chiarot are more physical and compete harder but aren’t great at defending. Wallinder is definitely better than Hagg, probably better than Chiarot.
Wallinder - SeiderHard to decide between AlJo and Willy Wally as a better fit next to Seider. Both have some attributes that can shine with the freedom that Seider would be able to afford them.
Edvinsson probably still makes the most sense to anchor his own pair in the future and try to emulate what Seider has done to some capacity. Leverage the two of them together in huge moments requiring absolute shutdown defense.
I want Walman, Wallinder, and Willander all on the roster at the same time.Wallinder - Seider
Edvinsson - Johansson

Not playing kids now would be like not playing them during pre-season.
For me, it's more evaluating them at the NHL level playing against NHL talent and coaching. End of season games are to me more indicative of NHL competition than a split roster exhibition game or AHL or whatever league they are in.I feel like there isn't evidence one way or the other whether playing at the end of a lost season helps or hinders players. For example, some guys come up and do awesome, which seems great at first, but that might raise their ego a little too much and then they are nowhere near that good when they debut. In reverse, they come up and do poorly, could hurt their confidence about how good they are.
A fair amount of guys come up now and do pretty well and then we never see that from them again. I think that is in part due to, a lot of the contending teams take it easy and rest stars late in the season especially against losing teams, which is why some of the bad teams actually do pretty well record wise in the last 10-20 games each year.
Not saying I am against them coming up, but I don't know that it hurts them by not. These players themselves still had long seasons in their own leagues and rest might be what is best for them. A nice break before training camp. Especially for the players who aren't already over in NA and have adjusted to a new lifestyle.
Edvinsson - SeiderWallinder - Seider
Edvinsson - Johansson
First time I’ve seen him mentioned in this capacity before. He’d be lucky to make my top 20 prospects. The guy peaked at 18.Edvinsson - Seider
Wallinder - Buium
Sebrango - AJ
