To quote Patty Kane(somewhat), "Spurgeons a helluva player, he's going to be sick in this league."

I think Puhis just woke up because he heard someone was talking in a negative way involving Spurgeon. I dont think we will have any problems signing both of them as long as the cap increases the way everyone thinks it will. We have several contracts coming off the books in the next 2yrs that combined with the cap increase should give us more than enough room.

Nah.
Actually, I did wake up exactly an hour before that post.
I normally wake up much later.
But yeah, Spurgeon has taken another level this season. Again. It's incredible to watch him progress and develop as a player. His hockey IQ is off the charts, both offensively and defensively. And he is not a one-dimensional player either, he can hold his own and then some in both ends of the ice.
I haven't been impressed with Spurgeon this year so much as I have Scandella. Spurgeon has been pretty consistent the last couple years but Scandella has looked his best yet this season.

Really?
I've never been a big Spurgeon fan, but he's starting to grow on me.
Someone called him Mighty Mouse a few weeks back and that seems to be pretty apt this year. Plus it's funny as hell
He's alright that little guy.
I'm mostly happy the ****ing puck does hop over his stick like it used to, all the freakin time.

I still have Spurgeon rated higher than Scandella. You don't notice him quite as much but that's often a good thing.
Solid player but injury concerns is a huge factor with him. And on a team where a lot of their prospects are undersized defensemen, we don't have a ton of pairing options. Dumba - Spurgeon pairing would be scary...

True but he's been scratched. I wouldn't mind seeing a Folin - Spurgeon pair but that would bump down Scandella. I think Minnesota should look at moving Dumba for some decent forward prospects. With Spurgeon and Scandella firmly established in the top 4, I think Dumba would make a nice trade chip at the deadline and his development won't be as stunted.
It's the repeats that concern me. He's getting smarter about avoiding the big hits but the wear and tear...If he can make it through this entire season (which I hope) without an injury that would bode well for him and the organization but until that happens, injuries will be a concern for him.
he got injured last year by blocking shot playing defense not by getting hit.
I do as well. He gives the blueline an added dimension with his ability to joining the rush that no one else brings consistently. Although Scandella has started to do it as well and he's been damn effective when he does it.

How's your burger?
Careful now, guys. Praise one of our players a teensy bit more than what they deserve and they're going to go down with an injury over an extended period of time. Everyone, knock on wood.
