Novikov is better

I don't agree. It isn't just the minutes, it's what those minutes are too. His future partner? No.

Komarov, Metsa, Novikov, the other players in Rochester. Versus Seattle... where there's Mrtka. He'd get less ice time in Rochester and he's only played 43 whl games. I don't really care that much but I'd send him to Seattle for 1yr before thinking about Rochester.

I'm just glad there's so many defenders in the prospect pool that Samuelsson will be expendable.

Mrtka should go back to Seattle. More ice time and a chance to build out his offensive game. Mrtka has played 43 total WHL games.

I'm not. I'm not.

Glad they are to this stage. Curious to see how they run the last 2 preseason games. I'd assume give Mrtka more action. I hope they waive Bryson, he's not been good this preseason in comparison to Novikov, Johnson, or Jones.

Samuelsson

And aren't the physical presence they were claimed to be

Dahlin - Kesselring Byram - Mrtka ...in 2029

Thought Buffalo did well that period. McLeod missed a could good chances.

Did Mrtka put Bryson on his shoulders and skate around with him?

I think Mrtka skates as well as power did at 19.

Radim Mrtka will be better than Owen Power

looks like Ryan Johnson gets a Crack at Samuelsson spot.

Pretty straight forward really Plays defense exactly how Power does, passively.

That's not a line. It's Zucker - McLeod - Tuch Benson - Norris - Thompson

I assume it's streaming but feel free to update if not

I don't think Benson cares much where he plays. He trains in Vancouver on the offseason.

Novikov is an RFA after this season for what it's worth. Would be nice to know if he's got the NHL in him before you have to sign him.
