Sebastian Aho is on fire

[Svechhammer]

Depends. Will he be playing in front of a NHL-capable goaltender?

Yes, he's good, but that's not the real problem in Carolina.

We have 2 problems. Scoring and goaltending. We don't score nearly enough and we don't keep enough pucks out of the net. A big reason for this.....

If Aho's value goes up Carolina should finally pull the trigger on him for great value trade, their depth is too weak to compete for a play-offs spot in the next two seasons unless they go ham. It's a tricky question if you are willing to tank for 2-3 more years to build for the future or cash in for instant play-offs roster.

Is that we have way too many depth players and not enough top end players. We are very strong with depth players, and if the goal of hockey was to have as many excellent 2nd lines as possible on a roster, we'd be dominant. Unfortunately, we don't have top end scoring, and what little we do comes from Aho and Turbo. Seeing Aho continue his tear is great, and gives us hope and promise for the future, especially having the 2OA. Trading him would be unbelievably stupid for the franchise, and @tapi should feel bad for even suggesting it.

This dude can't stop making ******ed hypeposts about finnish players on main boards.

Whenever there is a good reason for it! I'm sorry brother you don't have to talk about Aho here if you don't want to. Even I know all of your comments are about Finnish players...

 

[Seanaconda]

Canes should trade away Hanifin and Fleury and bring in the Islander's Aho and the Saber's Falk so we can Justin have all the Fa(u)lk-ing Sebastian Ahos in the world.

Florida will probably trade for falk cuz they have every player that almost sounds like a star

Wow, hot take.
Maybe one of the most uninformed posts I have ever read on this site.

Because he hurt your nostalgic feelings?

The league wasn't even international back then

Orr led all scorers in a tournament that included one of the best Russian teams ever assembled. He had no issue in international competition.

"Sebastian Aho is on fire"

Then trade him to The Flames.......

We already gave you a pastor, a coach, a doctor, and a water supply....talk aobut greedy.

You never give me your money
You only give me your funny paper
And in the middle of negotiations
You break down...

Yea but Orr alone couldn't make the NHL that much more competitive

 

[Lovsan]

hatty today, 3+1 Total Points are like 17 or 18 broke the old finnish record.

 

[DaJackal]

Hatty against USA. Not too shabby.

Hatty against USA. Not too shabby.

And it wasn't even against Darling!

 

[Jaska]

Neighborhood kids in Denmark include Kane, McJesus etc? No **** their hockey is trending up!

What does this even mean?

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

"Haven't been able to", or maybe some players don't see the point in stat-padding against South Korea.

I guess not. Team Canada (10-1 with McDavid, Jost, Barzal, PLD each putting up 3 points) and Team USA(13-1 with McAvoy and Kane each putting up 5 points) did a lot more stat padding than Finland.

Orr singlehandedly changed the defensive side of hockey which, in turn, did make the NHL more competitive.

It's not stat padding when you do it to win. Aho is just stat padding, the losses against Denmark and Germany show Aho's true colors.

It takes two Ahos to tango, but just one to have fun.

I think Aho is primed for a breakout year of 80+ points. He's just getting better and better.

 

[Kcoyote3]

Just once I want a title like this to be literal.

 

[beowulf]

Threads like this make me laugh. He is playing at the worlds against two very inferior teams...

Threads like this make me laugh. He is playing at the worlds against two very inferior teams...

he has played 7 games against several teams and is leading the tournament in scoring, actually

he just set the finnish record for points in this tournament also

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Should be a PPG player any season now.

 

[Bakayoko Ono]

That was the most unimpressive hat-trick I've ever seen.

 

[GoldiFox]

He just scored a hat trick in a dominant win against the USA?

You do understand that the Worlds is more than just Finland, South Korea, and Latvia playing matches for funsies... right?
