[Kevin Musto]

Altybarmakyan is the #1 U22 scorer in the KHL so far. It would be one hell of a breakout year for him if he can keep this pace going.

 

[LDF]

Antti Saarela is making his season debut for Ilves. He scored 1:35 into the game.

that was a wicked shot and goal. !!!

Haven’t seen him now in a couple years, but from the few games viewed then, really impressed with his high skill level
He has top 6, while Kayumov has the 3rd line potential with his well rounded game.

God that Graham Knott pick was terrible.

He just got assigned to Indy

Makes me cringe every time. Got drafted 2 spots ahead of his teammate Vince Dunn.

F Graham Knott: 42P in 68GP
D Vince Dunn: 56P in 68GP

I know points aren't everything, but you're telling me the Hawks scouted the Niagara IceDogs on numerous occasions and decided Knott was better than Dunn? Well last I checked Dunn is a Stanley Cup champion now at 22 years old...

I wanted Oliver Kylington bad. Thought he was the exact type of smallish, smooth-skating D that we tended to draft back then.

 

[AmericanDream]

Texeira was a highly touted American that entered the WHL- when he was 15 years old potential first round pick talk..crazy to see how he never developed and now can't get a minor contract..

Couple of questions about Icehogs schedule:
Do they play any preseason games ? Their game vs Boston this Saturday isn't listed but that may be because they'll be called the Blackhawks in that game. Will they be wearing NHL Blackhawk sweaters as opposed to Icehogs? 1st regular season game looks to be Oct 4 but then they don't play again until Oct 12 - why the long interim?

No preseason game outside of the Bruins game.

Long interim because.... AHL scheduling lol

Thrashing by the Bruins in a not important game for them just shows the kids that they’re not ready and have a lot to work on before becoming NHL caliber players.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

Michal Teply is destroying the WHL so far. 7 points in 5 games. Not bad for a 4th round pick.

Not really as it was a team of all kids vs a team that lost in game 7 of the final last year. Some kids are not ready, some are closer, and some are ready but getting thrashed does not mean there are all not ready. This a weird way of looking at it and should go player by player and not just some result from 1 game.

That's not "destroying"

It doesn’t.... like at all.

You realize a lot of these bruins have been playing together for years and have a bit of chemistry? This is also an elite NHL team that was running into a hot goalie away from winning the Stanley Cup just months ago and had pretty much that entire roster in the lineup.

Most of these icehogs players have barely played with each other outside of camp and are still getting familiar with the system. I don’t know what exactly you were expecting them to do against an elite nhl team on the road. It’s not surprising nor indicative of anything that they’ve lost big.

Just a few ticks under Strome's production after his draft year and you know you have claimed Strome destroyed the OHL. You need to remove your bias. You can still not like his skating (his only big issue) but still acknowledge he is producing really well.

Strome put up 111 points after his draft year. I'm sorry, but Teply won't get close. Let's be realistic here.

Who gives a shit?

Mutala is a 5th round pick and has more points.

You are missing the point.

 

[Kevin Musto]

You are missing the point.

His production, which will taper off, is not impressive for a player his age and size in the CHL's worst league.

Again you are missing the point. This is not difficult. You let you bias (and past comments) influence your takes later and it makes you look like you don't know what you are talking about (which we know is not the case most of the time).

 

[Muffinalt]

Its a 5 game sample size. I thought you guys hate people making hyperboles?

Of course it's hyperbole. I just posted it to ruffle Musto's feathers. He gets triggered when anyone says anything positive about Teply or negative about Strome. I find it hilarious that he loves Strome and hates Teply because the knock on both guys is their skating.
