Spooky action at a distance
I'm surprised to see Abols in the roster, looking forward to see game against Oilers and another Latvian Bukarts. Hellyea!
Abols is an interesting story....'96 birth date, but has actually played 14 games in the KHL as a teenager and had five points and was a ppg guy in the top Russian Junior League.....decent size at 6'3" and scored lots of points for Latvia in U-20 and U-18 tournaments....still junior eligible and will play for the Winterhawks as a 19-year old....another Kenins in the making?
Just doing some reading in an article was reading regaurding this rosters.
Some of these players are already playing pre-season games with there junior teams.
Brisebois has 3 assists so far playing in one pre-season game.
Neill has 2 goals 4 assists in 3 games so far. Some talk he could take more of an offensive role this season and looks to be quarterbacking the powerplay
Rodigo Abols played a few games in KHL last year, But was drafted by Portland in Import draft and is playing there this season.
Zukenov was drafted by Chicoutimi as we have all heard before, So far in 5 games he has 3 goals and 3 assists.

I would love to see the following lines.
Scoring 1. Baertschi McCann Virtanen
Scoring 2. Shinkaruk Zhukenov Jensen(?)
Checking Blomstrad Cassels Gaunce
4th line: not sure..
Baertschi should be miles ahead of most players in this tournament. Lets see if McCann can keep up. Virtanen gets the 1RW spot...his time to shine
second line is interesting.. not sure who can play RW...i think Jensen wont even show up but not sure who else could be a fit there
3rd line has me most excited. Cassels and Gaunce could be playing together for a long time if both pan out.

Baertschi, Jensen, and Blomstrand aren't on the Young Stars roster so none of your lines are even possible. The list of who's going is posted on the middle of page two of this thread.

I want to see Hutton and Subban the most. Followed by Shink and Zhukenov. Would love to see McCann but it is what it is.
HM to Virtanen but we'll likely see him start the year with us anyway, so it's whatever.

Pretty sure we can't. Checked the CBA a while back on this (but on mobile currently so can't quote article and section).
But I believe we might have a window for an AHL only signing. The Caps did this a while back IIRC with a similar undrafted player (can't remember who it was). But if memory serves, they kinda "hid" him in their farm system so he'd go undrafted the next year, and then signed him to an ELC once he was eligible.
That was Nathan Walker and they still had to draft him after he played for their farm team for a year.

I think I just pulled a groin watching it.
Oh, you non-goalies. LOL That move is part of the goalie tool chest. Takes a lot of stretching for a lot of years to maintain that tool.

I'll let you in on a little secret. I used to don the pads "back in the day". Just adult pick up and rec league stuff and have been a student of the position for a while to help teach young goalies, goaltending specific drills. You find out pretty quick that youth hockey coaches generally are too busy with the other 14 kids to learn any goalie specific drills.
Just wish I had that kind of flexibility when I played

Hoping Gaunce has a real good tourny. It looks like he has worked hard this off season looks in great shape. Hoping Gaunce and Cassels find some chem would be a good duo for years to come
