I've been lurking hard, just needed a break from engaging in conversation because of the shenanigans that come with it. Appreciate you Mose!

 

[moosemeister]

Since he was drafted out of a Canadian league he can't be sent to AHL next year, correct?

Correct. It's NHL or QMJHL for him next year, and almost definitely the Q.

 

[mouser]

Interesting. Rewarding him for the solid season he's putting up in the Q so far.

21 points in 23 games on a team where nobody is at a ppg is really impressive

 

[Matias Maccete]

Looks like a good pick so far, also welcome back rabbit.

Better prospect than Wood. Always has been.

 

[TheLegend]

Thread title adjusted until we have a confirmation.

 

[TheLegend]

Well he has an edge. Just suspended for three games

And he's team captain.

 

[Mosby]

Deal is done.

Rabbit > Eklund

 

[TheLegend]

Now confirmed......

And Morgan. Though the matchup is closer if it's Captain instead of Craig.

"Smith was heading for a deserted net. When Smith took possession of the disc, Joseph hit him with a baton."

Haha! Oh no he hit him with a baton?! That's pretty concerning because that means he snuck it onto the ice for such a malevolent act! All of this over a disc in front of a deserted net?! The madness! (just joking... that translation is hilarious)

Sounds like someone playing ultimate in the middle of marching band practice

Not surprising considering some of the things he showed in camp and his play this season.

I'm actually really comfortable with him working out. I think there's very little "bust" potential with him.

not combating you, but same was said about Gormley (RIP 2010 draft)

RIP indeed! Remembering some of those drafts just makes me sad haha.

That's a fair point, but one of the knocks on Gorm had to do with his skating. Poj has no such skating issues. Nails the marks in skating, smarts, and passing. With those skills I don't see him failing. In my opinion skating and smarts are a must to stick around.

 

[mouser]

Gorm's skating wasn't elite by any means, but should have been adequate enough for him to develop into a middle pairing guy. I think his main issue was he was never able to process the game at NHL speeds.

His skating was adequate until he had several knee injuries, at which point he was getting turned just like Schenn does.

 

[absolute garbage]

Are there any rules preventing him from playing in a European league next season? Feels like that would be the most beneficial place for him, far better than toiling away another season in Q.
