Does this mean someone is coming off IR? Or do they just want him to get playing time rather than being a scratch up here?
I just dont see a fresh out of college rookie being thrown into the pressure cooker of playoff hockey when we have multiple veterans with significant experience.
Now, in the 2020 playoffs, that's a definite possibility
McAvoy did it and looked fine. Now, I know Fabbro is not that kind of caliber but still I want to see, and I think Poile wants as well what we have in him and if he will sign at all.
Never say never. I don't remember anyone running around here on draft day talking about how Girard was going to be awesome and walk straight out of juniors and be playing meaningful minutes for a playoff team.
If Fabbro turns out to be as good as McAvoy I'll happily eat my words
Come on now... we didnt say it on draft day but after a full camp just before he was traded we all knew Girard could play in this league. Maybe Fabbro will sign and surprise us in the last few games of the regular season. But if you believe that's Poiles plan I think you're mistaken. If he signs, he will be a Black Ace this year. Hopefully hes good enough to be a starter with Hamhuis on the third pair next season
That's silly. Not everyone can transition from college to the NHL directly. If he needs a season in Milwaukee to get used to the speed of the pro game, that would not make him a bustIf he isn't ready even for next year, I'm calling bust.
Yeah, I think the safe expectation for Fabbro is Black Aces. He can probably get a few late regular season games like Tolvanen did last year, and then just be around the team and settle into the routines and everything for however long the playoff stretch goes.Come on now... we didnt say it on draft day but after a full camp just before he was traded we all knew Girard could play in this league.

Just before he was traded he had already played 7 or 8 NHL games, that's not exactly being the master of prediction.If Fabbro turns out to be as good as McAvoy I'll happily eat my words

Admirals a very Preds like 4 for 64 on the PP in their last 15 games. They had nearly an entire OT worth of PP tonight including 57 seconds of 5 on 3 and failed in every conceivable way.
When was the last time you've seen 5v5 in an OT that's regulated to be 3v3?
Terribly officiated game all around, I assume Tyler Sikura won't be suspended for throwing that punch from the bench?
I was on the road. Could you provide some details?
Who is behind Fabbro as a defensive prospect and Tolvanen as a forward prospect.
Lotta blatant tripping calls that were ignored (until OT when the Ads got the 5 on 3).
On a PP, Gaudet got hit by the Hogs bench and pushed the guy down on his way up. Another Hog comes in and pushes him into the Hogs bench and Tyler Sikura throws a punch (not sure if it actually connected) while sitting on the bench... all this and Gaudet is the only penalty for roughing.
I don't want to stray away from actual prospect talk but I wanted to put this here to see if anyone knew the answer. (I was gonna put this in the OT thread but people in here may be more likely to know). Many know that when kids go to the CHL or USHL or whatever level of junior hockey to play, they are placed with billet families who they live with while they live their new life in whatever city they've gone to. If a kid ends up on a team in a city where he has family, would the league be okay with the player staying with family? I'm only being hypothetical but I was just wondering this because I just saw a video about life as a junior prospect and stuff.
I don't know the answer for sure but as long as the family is close enough to the school and rink (or diamond for baseball) and are willing to host the player, I would imagine that is probably preferred that the player live with family.
