Confirmed with Link: Canes Claim Nestrasil

[nobuddy]

Deployment

obviously malone needs to be in the lineup instead of semin

 

[What the Faulk]

I really wish they had goals or points or assists (per 60 or otherwise) as a variable choice but all they have for production is just goals and first assists. One of the few complaints I have.

 

[Unsustainable]

I for one welcome our new 4th line overlord.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

War on Ice doesn't give their algorithm for weighing competition, so I couldn't tell you, to be honest. Most of the time I actually look at Corsi competition anyway but I guess I forgot to set it as that. I don't think it changes much, but as I mentioned I'm kinda drunk and in the process of writing a fanfiction sequel to the Princess Bride as punishment for a friend, so, you know, priorities.

I'd get kind of drunk if I had to do that too.

so Peters made a point of saying that this guy shoots left but plays well on the right wing. Semin's replacement to Peters I guess...

You gotta think Nestrasil will be given every chance shuffling through the first 3 lines trying to find a match with some of our players. He should see lots of PP time as well I would guess.....kinda like we did with Loktionov at the end of last year.

 

[sheriff bart]

A few quick hits on all this discussion.

Some other team may pick up Malone, somebody wanted Westgarth and he isn't even a hockey player.

I can't put a lot of stock in Corsica if it rates Semin as anything other than whale excrement.

Nestlie Quick may be a Peters type of guy. I'd have to think he has a warm fuzzy about the guy since they both came from an organization that has a tremendous track record for identifying and developing players.

 

[loudernow*]

Ive watched Nesty trending up for 3 years now, since he was in Toledo. Hes gotten better every year at every level hes played. I see him becoming a legit NHL second liner soon.

Well, I guess he may actually be a Tlusty replacement then.

Man, we don't need a replacement for him. We just need both of them if that happens.

This is now my go-to response for this topic.

Sure I wouldn't mind having Tlusty back but it depends what he asks for and if management will want to give it to him.

sometimes you just have to shake your head. how would you even begin to respond to something like this other than .

yeah Tlusty is a funny type of player. sometimes you read comments that he's playing poorly but even if he is it's not really noticeable. Jiri just is the way he is, so to speak. he is either noticeable in a good way or you just don't notice him much at all. he's a valuable guy to have on the roster but he could also be a good trade chip and there are probably many players like him overall.

edit: but on topic, this guy looked pretty good in his debut.

 

[HisIceness]

Fun facts here, Chris Terry and Jiri Tlusty were two guys who scored for us in their 1st game as a Hurricane. Terry has been playing better and we all know about Tlustys career here.

Not neccesarily bad company.

Pierre McGuire, is that you ?

 

[bluedevil58*]

What does everyone think of this guy so far? Does he have what it takes to stick?

 

[What the Faulk]

He looks good, but it's only been a few games.

 

[Sens1Canes2]

He is a better hockey player than anyone other than Staal, Skinner, Tlusty, Semin, Lindholm and maybe Nash.

 

[DaveG]

Nash and Rask are debatable, Teamocil's probably better then Rask now but I think Victor's the better player long term. But yeah, dude's going to be a nice addition to a team that badly needed a talent infusion from a depth standpoint.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

He uses his size assertively, there were times last night, just brief glimpses, where he was on the ice and I thought he was Staal (and I thought he was Staal playing well). I was watching standard def and couldn't really see numbers, so that's the reason for the confusion in the first place, but he has that ability to use his size along the boards while not slowing to a complete stop, it was fun to see. Obviously he's no Staal, but having that ability to make things happen and protect the puck on the cycle is valuable to a third line. Plus he's really confident and playing like a veteran, which is something else for a kid that we just picked off waivers (thank you Detroit farm system).

 

[Joe McGrath]

He plays like a guy who has spent a lot of time in the Red Wings system. Generally speaking that means you look like a damn good hockey player.

 

[TheOllieC]

He is an NHL player therefore I don't mind him in the middle-6.

No but really he is good on the boards and is does work around the net. His size there is a bonus. It's only been a few games but I like his play so far.

 

[Anton Babchuk]

He is a better hockey player than anyone other than Staal, Skinner, Tlusty, Semin, Lindholm and maybe Nash.

what about ngerbo
