2 seasons?Good thing we have a GM that doesnt evaluate on 2 games.

Didn't Babs say Lil didn't have a good rookie tourney yesterday?I disagree, but you’re welcome to that opinion. Didn’t catch the whole game but from what I saw Liljegren looked like an elite prospect tonight besides one moment where he lost his footing but recovered nicely. If we’re comparing the two, Liljegren had a much better showing at the rookie tournament this year too (though Sandin was no slouch either).
He was referring to last years tourney I believe. He looked pretty good in this years. They seem to be going the Dermott route with him, which is fine if at the end he comes out as a solid two-way defender.Didn't Babs say Lil didn't have a good rookie tourney yesterday?
Happy to see Engvall is making a bit of a statement - I like the tools he has.
Engvall would love to see what he could do with Mathews.
Don't think he is that far from making the Leafs.
Me too, I like his skating. Doubt he makes the team but who knows next season.Happy to see Engvall is making a bit of a statement - I like the tools he has.

Unfortunately who ever isn't waiver exempt will probably sit in the press box (Holl Carrick Marincin) while players like Borgman and Ozhiganov, Rosen will probably be sent down if they don't grab that #6 spot. It's not ideal, but f there's an injury they are close, and can be brought up. If they are on the road, then you might get The press box "black ace". Hope that turns out to be Holl at the end of the day. He's a better option than Carrick or Marincin.
It'll be something like
Rielly. Hainsey
Gardiner. Zaitsev
Dermott. Ozhiganov
Holl
Engvall-Kadri-Bracco could do some legit damage against lesser match ups.Engvall would love to see what he could do with Mathews.

McElhinney was always going to be the backup goaltender this season. He had a .934% on a dirt cheap contract last season, his job was never in question or in jeopardy regardless of what some people may lead to believe. It's not even close, Sparks is going on the waiver wire or being traded before it's said and done.
Timashov will probably never play in the NHL but he reminds me of Nik Borshevsky....for you old timers..
IN no world should Hainsey be on the first pair/get first pair minutes anymore.Rielly - Hainsey
Gardiner - Zaitsev
Dermott - Ozhiganov/Rosen/Holl
Carrick
Two of Oz/Rosen/Holl go to the Marlies with Borgman.
Marincin needs to get moved for a conditional 9th.
He sure looked good last night.anyone else wondering if Engvall could make a push for this team? he's 6'5, can skate and play LW. could fit that fourth line role.. I know it's a long shot but I'd rather him there than Ennis

Think he meant this year bro, 2:15:
Probably cause Babcock is fixated on vets. Hainsey is done. Anyone can see that.In this world he likely will.

I thought he was good, but not dominant. Babs seems to expect more from the better prospects.Ya you’re right, it sounds like it was this years. Quite surprised, he played pretty well from what I saw. Perhaps he is not one of Babcock’s favs.

-Hainsey really showed his age. Worried about him playing first pair again.
