i would have like to see KK one more year in iowa (19/20) then 20/21 in mn but now that's not likely unless we trade stalock .
Stalock's pretty easy to trade away if he's blocking Kahkonen in some way.i would have like to see KK one more year in iowa (19/20) then 20/21 in mn but now that's not likely unless we trade stalock .
Not really. The cap hit on Stalock's contract is so small that it is not an impediment to any new goalie being added to the mix. As to your first question, non of us know when , or if, KK will be ready to play as a starter in the NHL. As of now, it is thought that he should play regularly in the AHL rather than sporadically in the NHL.Oh ok i missed that signing... Puts a bit of a damper in what i was wondering lol
Alex Turcotte, but highly doubt he gets outside of the top 5Skating

LW is the least desirable position for us to pick. I mean, if he's super talented you go for him, but we've got Parise for years more, Zucker, and Greenway. Seems bizarre to trade away Nino after complaining about his handedness, then draft another LHS forward, especially one who isn't a C.
I mean, he's still young, and I hate to type anyone prematurely, but he sounds like a LHS Sokolov(at worst). He is scoring at an earlier age than Sokolov did, but one wonders if Sokolov was on a decent team rather than Sudbury, and didn't have to acclimatize to North America, like Kaliyev(US born).
Because we wouldn't be drafting him for the 2019-2020 season. We'd be drafting him for when Parise is 37/38 years old and who knows if Zucker will still be on the team in a week, let alone 3+ years from now.
We're tanking?Depends on where we draft; also if we aren't expecting them for the 2019 season, this is going to be a multiyear tank or why are we tanking in the first place?

yes, for a small part of his final season in(29 games). The vast majority of his time in junior he played for Sudbury(167 games). Odd that you would choose to correct me on something that didn't need correcting.sokolov did play on a better team though, barrie colts traded for him.
Some fans are calling for us to tank but it's unlikely that that'll actually happen. There's kind of a semantic argument around whether or not selling UFAs at the deadline == "tanking," but I'm inclined to think it isn't. Tanking would be starting Stalock for the rest of the season.Everyone is calling for us to tank.

Please clarify your question. I do not understand.
He was playing with Svechnikov and someone else good in Barrie vs. no one in Sudbury.just chose to point it out. his numbers seemed to grow faster on the better team from what i saw. not sure what to make of it though.
Is this going to be a multiyear tanking?

My overall point is that Kaliyev seems to share certain characteristics with Sokolov.
How would I know the answer to that, and why does it matter?
