[Holden Caufield]

USA v. Sweden today at noon in an exhibition Game.

Augustine gets the start


ASP back in the lineup for Sweden (Top Pair)... Looks like Anton is the #7 D (no surprise IMO)

What happened to Rutger ?
That would be an enormous loss

Gord Miller is talking during this swiss game for Canada that Danielsons line is likely to play the second most minutes on the team as s hutdown line that can score, as long as they keep the coach's trust

We'll see how it shakes out, but I always thought the whole "he's on the 4th line, he's just going to be part of a checking line" was being overplayed.

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

canada up 4-2. Danielsons line +1

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

5-2 Celebrini got a 5 and a game for boarding. Danielson on top pk with Beck

Beck scored short handed

It definitely was. I said it iearlier in the thread but hes like the only top 10 pick on the team and hes on a line with the only returnee. Theyre going to play big minutes and in this game they look like Canadas best line. No turnovers and theyve had offensive zone time pretty much every shift, rarely in their own end at all.

They've also started both periods so far

I agree. He may not be getting PP time, but that line will be playing a ton.

Excerpt from Pronman article on today's game:


Beck, who centered Owen Allard (draft eligible) and Nate Danielson (DET) was part of arguably Canada’s most consistent line. They started every period and were buzzing around constantly. All three players compete hard and skate well, and they put a lot of offensive zone pressure on Switzerland. They showed they could be effective in camp, and have carried it over into the pre-tournament. They could be more than a fourth trio energy line, as they look like a combo that Canada will use to match up the opponent’s top players.

Well done Nate. We need some optimism around here at the moment

 

[ShanahanMan]

Did Nate have a point?

Did Nate have a point?

Yes, drink your Ovaltine.

 

[schuelma24]

Likely a distinction without a difference, but Danielson's line listed at #3 today

They were already getting a ton of icetime, so it's probably just more of the same. They were never really the 4th line.

 

[Konnan511]

I'm probably watching this USA game in the most unique spot.

 

[schuelma24]

a few Danielson impressions from today:

Good game. Getting into the right spots but seems to have fumbled the puck a few times when he has gotten it in the dangerous areas.

I have liked him, very good skill for his size. A tiny bit off on execution at times but he looks to have a bright future.

Savoie looks unreal. Another terrible miss by Draper.

Danielson no points today.

He'll be great. Coincidentally Buffalo could probably benefit from drafting some piano-puller guys instead of only skill; kind of the opposite problem from us.

Danielson or Savoie?

I agree with that, but those are the type of guys you can grab in FA for a dime a dozen. High skill guys are the ones you want to draft, not grinders (unless 2nd round+).

We basically have only 3 bonafide NHL players on our roster that we drafted. Larks, Raymond and Seider. Everyone else were either traded for, FA signings or are garbage players. That’s only the result of absolute horrid drafting.

No points and yet drawing very positive reviews, while Canada fans are asking for offensive dynamo Yager to be sent home…

Hopefully both. But I’m fairly confident Savoie will be at least a 60 pt winger.

Don't forget,.Oliver Moore was available but we took Danielson. Moore does everything Danielson does but faster and with better offense.

Don’t know if I agree with that at all. Moore is mostly tools and no toolbox. I highly question if he will translate beyond an energy 40pt third liner.

Better than what this Drew Miller will regen into.

Jebus....

I'd hold off questioning prospects until they're either 22 or 23 years old and played some NHL games..

 

[RedHawkDown]

Better than what this Drew Miller will regen into.

I mean he’s got a lot more skill than that. I think he’ll be an NHL player. Question is more, is Danielson our Philip Danualt (nice but not really that helpful in progressing our rebuild) or is he our Couturier
