[Hi ImHFNYR]

saving 27/31 is quite far from the lowest of lows

Both Huska and Wall has had great starts to the season, hope they keep it up.

Dont ruin the tale of highs and lows!

 

[ManUtdTobbe]

This explains his abscence lately after being on the top line for a few weeks. I wonder what happened, possible his paycheck bounced, happens quite a bit in KHL, not sure how strong Slovans economy is, it sure wasn't because he wasn't good for them atleast.

I wonder where he's going next, back to TPS would make sense but maybe NYR want him in Hartford?

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Please bring him to Hartford

 

[ManUtdTobbe]

I hope so too, think he'd be perfect in NA hockey.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Kind of wild, but add me to the “it’d be nice to have him over here” camp

Going back to SHL would be a kind of step back for Virta. Would he want to stay in KHL?

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Virta would be a great winger for Andersson or Chytil if either got sent back down

Would there be enough minutes for everyone in Hartford to share? Next thing we know it will be 10-12 minutes on a bottom line and everyone is up in arm on how a prospect is being mishandled.

While I generally would prefer to get younger players in situations where they get a lot of minutes, I don’t believe not getting a lot of minutes is what ruins prospects. Though I would have a problem if it’s a ridiculously low amount (less than 6 minutes) for an extended amount of time

He’s getting the f*** away from AK

 

[kovazub94]

He’s getting the **** away from AK

High IQ prospect, I see.

 

[ManUtdTobbe]

From what i hear it seems likely he ends up in SHL, plenty of teams here desperate for offense and Liiga unlikely for tax reasons, Swiss an option too but yeah, SHL makes sense. I'm sure Hartford happens if NYR really want it to but we're kinda log jammed as it is with Ronning scratched half the games or so.

 

[ManUtdTobbe]

Josh Khalfin is saying he ends up in Örebro which makes sense, the guys i know in SHL are telling me Rögle, Örebro and Brynäs are desperate for offense.

too many minutes going to Holland + Butler + O'Donnell + Beleskey,
they should be rotating amongst each other, as vet depth behind Schneider

 

[ManUtdTobbe]

Yeah, i'm definitely not a fan of that veteran top line, mix the vets and kids, Always.

Hartford's offense is pretty middle of the road. Holland and Butler are productive, I don't have a problem with them playing if it helps the team win.

Eh, I just don't see a point in an all vet (top) line.

Spread the wealth, support prospects.

 

[kovazub94]

Ouch, Rykov misplayed the puck during PK and Dynamo Minsk scores.

A 2 minutes into the 2nd period. Minks is up 2:1. All Goals during Dynamo PP (Sochi had a shorty).

 

[kovazub94]

Another execution mistake by Rykov at the end of Sochi PP, losing posession inside Dynomo zone but quickly recovered to prevent a potential breakaway.

 

[kovazub94]

Sochi is thoroughly dominating. A couple of good plays / reads from Rykov in the offensive zone, first went unmarked to the slot for a potential rebound recognizing a shot coming from a teammate, then he himself had a dangerous shot from between the circles.

 

[kovazub94]

Sochi couldn't figure out Enroth and lost 1:2 even though they were overwhelmingly dominant. Rykov was on the ice for Sochi with a minute to play and a goalie pulled for an extra skater.

Agreed, I'd like to mix it up a bit.

However, if those two with Schneider is deemed absolutely essential to staying in games and being competitive, okay. I doubt that it is, but on principle, okay.

 

[Joey Bones]

That's a bit crazy with Virta, but I don't see this as a downgrade for him. Slovan is trash and although the reasoning is due to him "not being as prominent as hoped" from the article @cwede posted, the SHL is still a good league for him to develop.

All the best!!

It's still a step up from Liiga

 

[Ranger Ric]

But the point is why not play Holland and Butler with a prospect. How does it help develop a prospect if you play 3 vets together?
