dudacek Posted June 2, 2021 Report Posted June 2, 2021 He’s done two years in the DEL and had a good year this year. I’d persevere him adjusting to NA rinks and culture in Rochester next year. Quote

Buffalonill Posted June 3, 2021 Report Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) He probably did it so he wouldn't be drafted by buffalo Edited June 3, 2021 by Buffalonill Quote
Flashsabre Posted June 3, 2021 Report Posted June 3, 2021 That was a bad interference call on Power. Had a really nice rush and fed the puck to the streaking winger heading to the net. watching Power play it seems he is not quite sure of his own abilities quite yet. There is a lot of upside in his game as he fills out, gets comfortable with his ability against top talent. If he is the pick I wouldn’t mind him going back to Michigan for a year to develop. Quote
Norcal Posted June 3, 2021 Report Posted June 3, 2021 Is it just the year or is Grigorenko really one of Russias top Fs right now? Quote
steveoath Posted June 3, 2021 Author Report Posted June 3, 2021 Amy word yet on Beniers injury? Looked ghastly. Quote

I personally think for skaters adjustment to NA ice is overblown. 10 games or less and you've adjusted. Agreed. I do think some players play games that are partial to the bigger ice and that's part of why they fail (I'm worried about this with Eklund - he thrives so much in space/extra space). I don't think JJ is one of those players. Can he come over for camps and whatnot in the offseason to skate with the team? Quote

WildCard Posted June 4, 2021 Report Posted June 4, 2021 I really need to know if Berniers' ankle is alright or not Quote

LGR4GM Posted June 4, 2021 Report Posted June 4, 2021 I think if he broke it, they would just announce that and send him home because keeping him there doesn't really do anything. I am hoping it is a bad ankle contusion and I know when I had mine playing soccer, I couldn't walk on it for 24 hours and it was exceedingly painful. After that period I rapidly got better and played in another game with a wrapped ankle 3 days later. I think he probably has a worse one so we shall see what news comes out today, I suppose he could have broken it and they are just acting like the NHL does where they won't tell you about an injury because dumb. 1 Quote
