Maddox Dagenais, projected top-10 / 15 pick for next year's draft: https://x.com/LCHhockey/status/1884781687315337589

Shit, without even blinking. That's a complete no-brainer.

I want to see Reinbacher play this year before deciding one way or another. But if Clarke's actually available? Very interested.

This injury doesn't really worry me long-term. Yeah, it sucks, but what are the chances that he'll ever get another injury where his leg gets cut from his own skate? It's like a few years ago when Gallagher kept getting hand injuries and, I mean, it's not great, but is a player really fragile if...

Perunovich is one of the many small and skilled point producing d-men from Junior/NCAA that could never replicate that in the NHL.

Like with the game, I'll miss nothing of value.

I can't remember watching the first three quarters of any Superbowl in the last 10 years, regardless of how good the game was. I just can't stand the constant ads and product placement that will be face-fucking me for the duration of the game.

Superbowl is almost guaranteed to be the least interesting game of the year every single time. I guess I'll tune it with 6-7 minutes left in the fourth quarter.

He also made the league at 21 while Kapanen couldn't cut it at the same age.

Issue is as follows: Is Oliver Kapanen's career goal to play in the NHL and earn a salary that reflects playing in that league? If the answer is no, then what he's doing makes sense. Although signing an ELC to play in North America's kinda strange, but whatever. If the answer is yes, then see...

It depends, in a way. If you're a prospect for the San Jose Sharks and you're not making any noise to make the NHL in your first year in the AHL, I'll write you off immediately. If you can't beat out jobbers that are AHLers making an NHL salary, you probably ain't good enough. (Always assuming...

???? He's literally taking on risk for his career by staying in Europe, assuming playing in the NHL is his desired career. If it isn't, why did he sign an ELC? There is no risk by coming to North America if he's good enough to play in the NHL. Literally none.

Yeah, that's kind of my point. We've gotten nothing from our AHL roster, but when you look at that roster, who exactly was supposed to make a push? Four players with very limited upside? Again, rehashing old arguments... It's like when Houle had those Laval rosters and the best forwards with...

I don't know why you're being obtuse about this point. He's the one who agreed to a contract with that clause. He's the one who signed his contract to play in Sweden when his Finnish contract was completed. He's the one who could have refused to sign that contract if that European clause was...

This is going to rehash a lot of the same old arguments that have been had here, but... which players were supposed to make it? Roy's been a disappointment all year. Everyone knows my opinion of Owen "Ryan O'Reilly" Beck by now. Who's the third best forward as an NHL prospect currently on...

If he wants to make a career in the NHL, it doesn't. It doesn't make one iota of sense. He's adding layers of difficulty when making the NHL is already going to be difficult for him. There are players every year that start in the AHL, get called up, and then never get sent back. Heineman, a...

I'm a big believer in statistical probabilities. They're not a surefire way of evaluating things, but more often than not, they give me a very good idea of what to expect. Extreme example: There's a roughly 0.000001% chance you win the lottery, and yet untold millions of tickets are sold every...

We agree on something. I have nothing against someone's personal journey. What people do with their lives is their own business and if some want to stay home instead of chasing career objectives, then good for them. However. It is objectively true that Kapanen would have a better chance at...
