1) -Chychrun, has a NHL body, skates like the wind, makes good plays in all zones
- Believes that the top 3 have a chance to be world class players
- Drop off after the top 3

2) - Benning on College UFAs; looking at college UFAs has had a couple of conversations, has a list of players they like. Brendan Tanev is on there list, good skater, good PKer, see him as a good 4th line PKer


3) - Thinks Boeser will play another year at UND, thinks Demko will turn pro



1) Yesterday he said they're probably going to take a D-man unless it's a forward they just can't pass up. I think it's safe to assume that unless we have a top-3 pick, we're going for Chychrun, Juolevi or Sergachev depending on what pick we have.

2) Hopefully we have the inside track on Tanev with his brother obviously on our team. There are also a couple interesting 21 year-old college free-agents on Boeser's ND team in forward Caggiula and D-man Stecher.

3) Nice to hear Demko is probably going to sign. If he has a good year in Utica next season, he could make the jump to NHL back-up for the 17-18 season which is when Miller's contract ends. I think it's a good idea for Boeser to stay in college for another year because he's likely not physically ready, but he should be able to push for a spot the year after that.

Rodin won the SHL equivalent of the Ted Lindsay award (MVP voted on by players). Pretty impressive considering he missed the last chunk of the season with injury.

he gets injured way too often, fillin in for sami salo hueue


Some positive news about the 6'8 giant in nucks practice.
Skates well, paired up with Hamhuis, has insane reach to break up a lot of plays,
Burrows, Baertschi, Virtanen struggled to get past him.
Hard shot

It may seem a little late in the year, since the season has been lost, but coach Willie has flipped the motivational switch.

Maybe it was the pathetically complacent no-show Monday the coach said he saw coming in the morning skate.

Maybe his players enjoyed Saturday’s win a little too much.

Whatever it is, that real-good coach hasn’t been around the past few days.

On Monday, Willie called out Virtanen’s focus and said he confronted McCann about some issues in the second intermission. On Tuesday, the entire team was sent a message, whether you want to call it a bag skate or not, forced to do laps at the end of practice.

And tonight, that positive reinforcement we all got used to from the coach last season was kept to the barest of minimums.

In fact, the coach didn’t pull many punches. He revealed earlier in this season some in the organization didn’t think Baertschi was going to last with the Canucks.

He suggested Horvat is ill-suited for an offensive role.

He said Pedan has to “fine tune” his game.

He also confirmed both Virtanen and McCann are officially in the doghouse, and that was the reason for limited ice time against the Avs tonight.

“I don’t believe you can give guys things; they have to deserve it,” Willie said. “Both guys have made a couple of mistakes. We talked to them about it.

“They have to be a little better.”

This is pretty much Willie unhinged in a post-game media session, or as close to it as you are ever going to get.

You want Willie to go Torts?

Pretty sure this is what it looks like.

I remain unclear what the “mistakes” were, but on this team if making on-ice mistakes got you pinned to the bench for long stretches, who’d be left?
