All the Forward depth in the organization ? Who ??? Where ??? Guy's just had a chance the last six weeks to make an impression and nobody stepped up. JFK being the biggest disappointment i would think...Truth is we dont have enough NHL caliber talent bottom six and nobody in the organization is good enough. Frederic and Studnika will probably be NHLers...But i dont think top six players. Kuraly at 3C should make us all mad. But it is certainly not managements fault.Kuraly slotting up still makes me angry. With all that forward depth in the organization, this is the best option they have? Not buying it. Seems like this was their plan all along, and that they never even considered anything else.
Give it a little bit. I'm sure they will call TFred or JFK (will play top 6 min in Providence) up if Kuraly flounders.
Those guys are not making a difference, They are where they should be. We need real NHL players not some hope and prayers.....Give it a little bit. I'm sure they will call TFred or JFK (will play top 6 min in Providence) up if Kuraly flounders.
Guessing BC doesn't trust their two way game just yet.

How would Hoffman look on this team ? Florida gets him. But we dont need a guy like that.

I’m backing you up against the hatersYes, I read that piece a few weeks ago.
Krug is one of my favorite players, and I have always felt he was a valuable asset, so I'm not sure what it has to do with my post? I didn't say I wanted him traded, nor did I say that I think they should let him walk. However, the reality is that if after next season, if UV is good, Moore is good, Grizz is good, and Zboril is good (others may be good)...the B's may elect to let Krug walk, rather than pay him $6-7m per.

So because JFK isn't NHL ready after 58 AHL games, that makes him the biggest disappointment? These takes are a joke.
No bueno on Kuraly as the 3LC. Like the player, but hate that role for him. Hope he proves me wrong.

I’m worried about his lossOh, thanks
Krug is a valuable member of the team and will be missed. I was just trying to find a silver lining and if there is one, it’s that a kid like UV may get an extended look.
It’s funny that many people disliked his selection at the time. I was hoping they would take Veselainen.
I mean, he's 22 and with the hype he had around here I don't think it's unreasonable to be a little disappointed with his camp this year.
Who said that ?.....So your way to dispute what i say is LIE ???.........Go for it. Never have i said a bad word about any of those players....But Lie LieLie all you want. apparently you never get sick of it.Last year it was McAvoy Debrusk and Heinen that were not making a difference...
Do you ever get sick of being wrong?
JP is actually legendary in both the group text we have and my hockey buddies
Why he is still here defies logic since he was banned several times under assumed names

In fairness to you he has it mixed up with don Godfather who said thatWho said that ?.....So your way to dispute what i say is LIE ???.........Go for it. Never have i said a bad word about any of those players....But Lie LieLie all you want. apparently you never get sick of it.

Many people think you guys are the same so confusing trying to keep track
But don Godfather has ragged on DeBust as a horrible pick and JP hasn’t used thatThere's no thinking with that one. Definite 2nd account.
I cant say they did not because i did not see much of training camp......That said, you could be correct. Would it surprise me if those players were not evaluated properly No. I dont think the team would send down anyone that impressed or showed that they deserved to stay.....But again, Offensive talentI beg to differ. I think Frederic did do enough to make the team. I also think Cehlarik made a strong case to be on the roster as well. The problem is that the organization floated this nonsense of Kuraly at 3C very early into the off season, and lo and behold what happens? I personally do not believe they gave the young guys much of a shot to win it. The outcome was predetermined and baring a huge breakout camp by one of the youth, it was always going to be Kuraly.
I was banned way back when for creating a stir when i said hiring Dave Lewis was the dumbest hiring ever......You loved the hiring as i recall.JP is actually legendary in both the group text we have and my hockey buddies

Will be re-evaluated in 3 weeks. Awesome way to start.

I LOVE DeBrusk and he is my next jersey.....I defy anyone to show a post where i have said anything negative about him.But don Godfather has ragged on DeBust as a horrible pick and JP hasn’t used that

Why ban someone for giving his opinion ? I dont understand that. Do the rules for staying say you must wear Rose colored glasses when evaluating the team ? I did not see that when i read them. I have my opinions, they are based on watching the sport 45 years and loving this team every bit as you do. That said, i dont care if people hate me, As long as i am respectful in my opinions, i will continue to give them. Till Wally says i cant i guess.
