Power plays in overtime should be 3-on-2. May as fucking well.

Pretty annoying that the Hawks got Panarin. It's like winning the Cup and getting a top-5 pick for free. Oh well, at least he didn't go to Alberta.

Panarin got to develop till he was 24, so imho there's hope yet for the take awhile to develop types from euroland...Anton Rodin, Jensen.Rumsfeld wrote:Pretty annoying that the Hawks got Panarin. It's like winning the Cup and getting a top-5 pick for free. Oh well, at least he didn't go to Alberta.

It's nice that Rodin is having success over in pussville, but the odds are heavily against him ever becoming a top six NHL talent like Panarin.

yeah none of them will ever be as talented as Panarin, but it's interesting he got to develop unscathed by the NHL rigors till he was 24 years old, from a Euro/Russian perspective.

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
Pretty early to be calling Larsson a bust, dude. 23 years old, plays more than Tanev. Might not be 4th overall good, but it's not like he's fallen off a cliff like Hamilton. He's in the same ballpark as Jonas Brodin in Minny.

Can make a pretty good case that the numbers say Larsson was significantly better than Tanev last year.Pretty early to be calling Larsson a bust, dude. 23 years old, plays more than Tanev.

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
Ok he woke up a little last season but you redo the draft his year he ain't going anywhere near where he was picked, just like Gudbranson, Reinhart, Schenn, and even Murray and Reilly haven't lived up to their draft hype. Bottom line, the biggest crap shoot at drafting, position wise, is deference man. Waste your later picks on D-men unless it's a Doughty, Ekblad guarantee
I still think Sergachyov will be a better D-Man than Chychrun but Chychrun will go higher because he's not Russian. There is Luke Schenn/Gudbranson type potential for disappointment drafting Chychrun high. He lacks an offensive game and has bad shoulders. Sergachyov is bigger, better skater and is great offensively and defensively
