Boychuk seems to be in good form so far... is there still a place for him on the team's 2nd powerplay?

I think Gross thinks Kovar is going to BPT.
I can’t see that. I’m guessing he would leave for the KHL. But he mentioned it in a tweet before that maybe Kovar would start in the AHL.
i would rather see Kuhnackl sent down to BP, and keep Kovar.
I understand this now. I was thinking "bath salts" were scenty packets of fizzy stuff one puts in the bath while covering one's eyes with sliced cucumber.
Not liking the argument of using veteran contracts to justify sending down JHS and Bellows. They should have been given a longer look.
Bellows played better than Kuhnhackl, Filp, and Komarov combined. The three questionable signings of LLs early tenure. That is one, slow 3rd line.
This won't hurt Bellows. He will continue to make incremental progress. Someone will get injured. He'll get his chance.
Did I miss what happened with Kosorenkov? Elite Prospects has him with the sound Tigers.

Pretty much what Lou said on the subject.Bellows is 20 years old. People gotta relax. Let him get some pro experience under his belt and start out in the AHL. Nothing wrong with that.
Lou Lamoriello in the Athletic said:“There is no question there is a tendency to put players in a situation they shouldn’t be too soon,” he said. “Free agency has determined that. It’s a decision everybody has to make. If we can keep them in the minors — I’ve always said it’s better they come up too late than too soon. I know in my past, players all played 2-3 years in the minors, it was just the growing end of it, the learning process. It is a new world, but not to the point you have to do it.”
“It’s best for him to go to the minors, play a lot, play in key situations and grow as a player.”

That could be the worst line in the nhl
Nice terminology, but saying "3 and grind" instead of "3 and 4" is like saying "1A and 1B" instead of "1 and 2".Also, Trotz thinks of Martin-Cizikas-Clutterbuck as the third line...

That's true - the book on him is far from being written. But....the first few chapters have been. This year will be very telling. I think he still can develop into a nice two way defender. Clearly not a top pair guy, but a 2nd/3rd tweener perhaps. Nothing wrong with that - especially if you have two solid pairings above him.
But I don't have any real issue with Pelech or his contract. My issues are more with the Mayfield deal. I think his upside is fairly limited and what we've seen is what we get. And what we've seen ain't terrible - he's not a complete liability. But, he's not a guy who anyone will ever say "Oh, we need to get that guy in the lineup."

By my following, Matt Loritto and John Stevens have not been cut yet. I tried asking Art and Andrew about them but niether has responded. Also has anyone seen anything about Soderstrom?
