Ryan White sent back to the phantoms. So much for making his debut. Looks like Laughton is back tonight

super tank mode engaged with mason out 2 weeks and zepp called up means more starts for stolarz in the ahl
if zepp gets some starts and does good next year he might be our backup for cheaper next season giving us lil bit of cap space too

mason going down potentially has some positives

zepp got nhl.coms 2nd star of the game behind holtby obv
guys gotta be lovin life right now haha

he looked pretty good though if he gets a few more good games in i think emerys getting moved at the deadline
frees up like 600k cap space and prob get like a 4th rd or something to a team with injury or just goalies issues

gotta say feels pretty good having mason and thinking about goalies being expendable ... normally its like PLZ GET A GOALIE FFS

emery crap again tn he prob wont even fetch a 4th
hextall has some serious work ahead of him this offseason i expect alteast 2 d to get moved ghost and morin are prob coming up they cant do much worse then what we got now
hopefulyl he can move vinny ... but most of all i want macd gone hes so bad

i didnt watch much after the 4th goal but zepps only goal against was a breakaway on the 1st shot hes lookin pretty good for us

Sanheim at 10, Morin at 14, Ghost at 19

nice.. didnt think sanheim really had that kind of potential but everybody seems to be really high on him
Philadelphia is the only other team with three players – all defencemen - in the Top 30. No. 10 Travis Sanheim is a smooth skating blueliner who has all the makings of being a top two defenseman. No. 14 Sam Morin is big, very big and he has skill to along with it. No. 19 Shayne Gostibehere was a 2013-14 Hobey Baker Finalist but had a knee injury early this season in the AHL after debuting for two games with the Flyers.

Ottawa and Vancouver don't have prospects among the Top 30, but the top three prospects from all seven Canadian teams are listed below.
lol rough..kinda surprised with nucks having virtanen and sens having paul

ive been telling you since the beginning i like morin but I cant wait to see Sanheim develop...

i might just be oldschool i just dont find the flashy offensive d men to my liking when it comes to prospects unless they are sound defensively to many times in todays nhl do i see bad plays/turn over from d men trying to create offense
i think thats why im most excited for morin he keeps it simple and plays D not the best offensively but apparently has a good 1st pass and hard shot it can come with time

pretty firm believer that offense can be taught but being good defensively is something you either do or dont have and i dont think it can be as easily taught as offense
but it generally seems offenseive D is the way the leagues heading look at guys like karlsson subban winning norris ect ect team canada morin was 7th d becasue they had 6 flashy offensive guys

offensive is becoming way too big of a factor in "good d men" nowa days there job is to prevent goals not try to create them

Im more excited about a dman like duncan keith, doughty, pietrangelo, subban ETC. Than a great sound defensive player like Regehr (in his good ol days) and players like him. Dont get me wrong, I reaaaaally like Morin.

But Sanheim is a very, very intelligent player and he is progressing so rapidly its really stunning. You can't teach work ethic, competitiveness (or however its called), hockey sense, pure talent.

I think the offensive d men you described corresponds to Ghost more than Sanheim anyway. Try to watch him play

Edit: I'm not comparing him to Lidstrom or anything, just want to point out Lidstrom didnt need to be physical and all, he was just very intelligent with his stick and his positionning wich made him such an amazing d-man
