Nice job to get that film, mel.
 
Nice to see him take the shot. Any of these bozos on this team would've tried to make the pass to the covered teammate hahahaha
 
Tambellini had his 10th last night. On a poor AHL team, if he scores 15-20 goals as a rookie, that is a fine season. About what I expected. Morrison had a hat trick last night in the WHL. Doing OK after a pathetic start.
 
Looks like we have at least a few prospects down below and overseas to look forward to. I think our use of the limited draft picks we've had has been good considering. We just need to get them some more draft picks to work with.
 
I love Buch on his off-wing, he's had most of his experience there.

I'm not sure Kreider's game translates very well to that. Your hockey IQ needs to be a little higher since you will have the puck in a playmaking position more often.
 
Hopefully he's not scared to come to NA anymore. That's a little bothersome. I wonder what his cap hit would be..maybe 1m?
 
This team badly needs him. The two players to really watch are Saarela and Graves. Both have huge upside and as usual, the morons who are anti-NY are completely ignoring them. Saarela might be one of the top 30 prospects outside the NHL right now. At one time he was considered a guy that might go 1 in the draft. Rangers f'n stole him. Basically, he's Duclair who can play a lot more defense. So, despite being stupid and trading Duclair, they replaced him quite easily.
 
Nieves playing at MSG right now on the Big10 network.
 
Nieves sucks. Has no drive whatsoever. I would absolutely find somebody to take that assclown.
 
He'll just block me again because he knows he'll never make the MSG and he'll be shoveling shit in Missouri.
 
Graves won the AHL hardest shot at 103.4 mph. Not surprised. He won it in the Q at 100 mph. In other words, he added 3 mph. If he adds another 3, no telling his ceiling. He's quickly becoming a freakin stud. AHL All-Star. 103 mph cannon for a shot. The ceiling is high.

Saarela has 15 goals, 8 A in 37 games in the Finish elite league. Huge year for a player that young. Another reason Stepan is expendable.
 
right so talking about a prospect making a current number 1 centerman expendable is a huge reach don't ya think
Not really. I'd rather look to what could be here in two years and plan ahead to have a spot for him then have $6M tied up in an average player and one we can't move either. And he's only a number 1 center cuz we SUCK at center. He's a second line center on most teams easily.

what could be here...terrific
 
love the what have you done for me lately attitude
What has Stepan done ever for $6m a year and a NTC? That's the thing. It's a HUGE cap hit and add a NTC. He's overrated and overpaid for his CAREER production.
 
some said that about Brassard's contract being a little too high for the production...Staal and Girardi's contract are way worse than stepan
 
Graves with his 6th last night. Tambellini with his 12th. If that team had absolutely any veteran scoring down there, those two kids would have at least 10 more points each. Graves is not only one of the best defenseman prospects in hockey, he's probably headed towards being one of the top 50 prospects quickly. As usual, the anti-NY hating media doesn't even mention his name. Typical of the dumbasses who rank prospects.
 
I'm starting to wonder with graves coming quickly if we start to entertain any thoughts of signing Yandle and trading skjei with something for that forward we need. Of course the problem with that is dickhead AV would need to actually use Yandle properly (1st pp and more minutes than staal) to make it viable.
 
Not a chance. This team is slow now. Skjei is lightning fast. Plus, I'm not a big fan of Yandle's game. He's not fast. He doesn't have a big shot. He's average at best defensively. He doesn't hit. He doesn't clear the crease. He's a good puck mover. I'd much rather have Graves, Skjei and McDonagh on our left side.
 
Geez Mel, 'dickhead AV'? I know the Glass thing is a bit silly but that's a little rough no?
