Are they just not that good or are the vets exerting their preferences? I would say it is 2/3 the former and 1/3 the latter. Just my gut. I also know that players certainly thrive or collapse when they start to get special teams time (PP or PK). You tend to really find out what you have.

EmptyShelf Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I had been wondering whatever happened to Aaron Ness from Roseau until last game against Yotes. Wonder if he will finally stick in the NHL at 29. He was really good many years ago, but I don't know if accelerating up like he did in HS was such a great idea (he was small and not yet physical enough) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmptyShelf Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I saw that Matt Boldy has 1 pt in 9 game for BC. Why does it take SO long for our prospects to develop at may lower levels? Scouting is CLEARLY an issue. We also bring the wrong players up too soon, and leave others down until their beard grays out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IllaZilla Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I have to go take my cake out of the oven. I’m assuming they finished the first 1-0 Wild... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmptyShelf Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Does anyone REALLY want to hear from Parise between periods? I know I don't. Would be nice to hear from Fiala - at least he scored a goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t seem too concerned, since he said a lot of the other stuff he is doing is really good. If he is still relatively pointless in March, then there might be some concern...

EmptyShelf Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Hartman was a solid pickup. He also give a $hit, which you can't say about everybody. He IS a hockey player. Not sure about 9, 11, and 20 anymore. They remind me of Dorn from the movie Major League. They are all about investments, attire, keeping their teeth, and their primary TOI - no concern for trophies or Cup glory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmptyShelf Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Granlund has certainly had a sad start to the year, with 3G and 2A in 18 games. He seems a bit lost with the higher talent on the Preds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmptyShelf Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 McDavid with 2G and 2A in 1st period against the Avs. Would love to finally get that level of talent on the Wild. Lawton was our only shot in all my years of watching MN NHL. That pick was still one of the worst ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
