Just got back from the game. Berdin looks good - seems very focused and tracked the puck well. Sort of cat like in his motions.
Ryan White seems to play like Tanev and is more vocal; I wonder if he could replace him? Vesalainen had a few nice chances but otherwise didn’t stand out. Stanley seemed ok but probably a year or two away.
I am really hoping that Ryan White gets a 2 way contract next year. If we are looking for toughness/leadership and giving those minutes to Hendricks, I think Ryan White could offer the same value, with more toughness, and the luxury of not occupying a regular roster spot so that young players can also move up the pipeline.
Looking forward to catching a game on the homestand, which should be a good push to get the Moose into the dance. I think Berdin is above Comrie on the depth chart next year, and would not be surprised if Comrie is replaced by a veteran who is more NHL ready like Hutchinson or Calvin Pickard.
