Well, what Schloss said on Twitter and what was said on here that KVRR said seem to be different.

I mean, it's probably true, but I'd prefer seeing it from a reputable source. Oh well.

Link?

Just look at the UMD game. We won!

THE GAME THAT SHALL NOT BE NAMED. Still a nightmare for me.

Pure speculation.

I was actually considering them, but I just shrugged it off because they just don't feel like a threat lol. But yes, I don't want to see them win.

Anyone but Denver, St. Cloud, UMD or BU.

Well, he'll be playing with two NHLers if he makes the show. Shane can play. He's got the talent. He was the Caps MVP in development camp, so they obviously value him a lot and don't want to lose him to FA.

Worked out ok in 15-16 and we had 6!

My guess on captains: Rhett -- C, Jones -- A (would be 100% ok with Jones getting the C, but I'll defer to the 4 year UND player), Pooly -- A, Janatuinen -- A Shane gets an A if he's back, too.

Huge, huge, huge.

I'd guess a new signee at a hockey city like Ottawa gets just a wee bit of attention, too. Not to mention, you are getting paid to play hockey. Is this really an argument? Lol

If you're not referring to Wolanin, this is fine, but he's starting in the NHL.

Ok, so your dream is to play in the NHL and you've had a great career that included winning a national championship. Then, after your best personal year, your draft team offers you a contract, a huge load of cash in a signing bonus and to immediately start in the NHL, which would achieve a lifelong dream. If you stay your senior year to try and test free agency, you could blow out your knee and never make the NHL. Could you honestly pass this up?

He'll absolutely get that this coming season.

Sure some players lacked development, but many players also grew by the boatload. I'll give Bowen a pass due to injury. JJ had a better run towards the end of the year. Hoff and Peski were my two main disappointments, but they are both capable of taking steps forward. Hoff was fantastic in the third place game. Kawaguchi, Regier and Kierstad developed really well. Adams is TBD for me. The talent level is clear. He just need to develop his physicality.

Ahhh touche! I misread.

Wouldn't this make him a "duck and bunny" captain? .... He's just stating his opinion lol.

Agreed. I wish Mike would have been able to have a little foresight on this. He'd be a big minutes guy for this team in 18-19, IMO. With that said, he might be chastised on here for being a bottom six player

Yup. Oxbow and I don't always see eye-to-eye, but this wasn't bad at all.

Hajdu and Schloss say Poolman and Jones are back. Does this mean this game is done?

HAHAHA that's SO awesome that they even mentioned it. That makes me so happy.

More what? Pylon defensemen? Correct, the usually have more of those coming in. As a Ranger fan, I am just THRILLED we got him in one of those trades.

I'd say the departure is well overdue and certainly not early haha.
