If Newhook could finish Boldy would have 5 points by now

So Boldy is looking good at center?

You know what. You don't even have to answer.

I am penciling him in as our 1st line center between Kaprizov and Lafreniere next season.

ripping newhook after only a handful of games on a new team is a mistake.

Going by the game against Wisconsin, Newhook looks like he'll take some time to adjust to the level of competition in the NCAA. He got blasted at center ice by a hit that he should've seen coming and didn't seem to expect at all.

That seems pretty understandable, but since they're on the same line it'll probably affect Boldy's numbers. Boldy's led BC in shots in both games so far, and if the Badgers game is any indication he sets up at least that many scoring opportunities for others.

I was not calling the comment on newhook a bash just replying about dano thinking we are ripping the kid. he is a prospect for the avs though so we have to hate him right?

I was going to post something similar. Queue to the "it's only 10 games" crowd.

Cool, one of them seems to be doing well.

In retrospect maybe don't let guys you've fired make decisions that impact your hockey club for the next five years. Although given what we know, might as well blame Fenton 100%.

There's no sugarcoating this lack of offense from FJ and although he's on a poor team in a tough league, zeroes just don't translate to NHL-level skill too often.

That said, people here were clamoring for Dominik Bokk, who has one more point than he does after 10 games.

 

[57special]

And Veleno, and Noel, to a lesser extent. Veleno apparently looked very good at DRW camp, and at this point is considered to be on a par with Zadina by some of their ( admittedly fickle)fans. It sure would be nice to have a legit C prospect in the system who might be playing as early as this spring in the NHL.

I don't know why Fenton jr. Is still around...or maybe I do. I think that Guerin is waiting for a suitable time to quietly give him the boot.

We’ve had two good drafts with PJ at the helm. I would love to keep him

I think he was just in charge for 2019, but the point stands. Boldy involved a little luck, but they had the sense to capitalize. Beckman's off to a good start, and Warren in the 6th looks like a great pick. I haven't really seen Firstov play, but 1+2 in 3 NCAA games seems like a good start. Not sure what to say about the goalies other than that it's nice to have a few more.

It's too early and only one draft, but it's possible that Fenton Jr sticks around because he's actually good at his job.

fair enough and would have obviously been a more sensible selection

Gotta love judging a defenseman off of offensive stat line. Posted by the guy who loves Brodin and his defense. Big oof.

It's only 30 periods!

It does seem to be a major concern that he has no offensive game. Guys that don’t score in lesser leagues don’t typically come into the NHL and start putting up numbers. Brodin is a good example. He put up very little offense, but the one thing Brodin has going for him was he was a top minutes guy on an SHL team. Johansson couldn’t put up numbers in the Allsvenskan and now he’s a bottom pairing guy in the SHL.

I do see your point about the hypocrisy of a guy that lauds defensive play and tends to overrate defensive defenseman bashing a defenseman for lack of offense though.

But it’s still pretty clear that the correct choice would have been Veleno.

Giroux scores his second of the game in OT to beat SSM 4-3 giving him 11 goals in 11 games. 15pts on the year. Quick update!!
