Same same. No reason to rush. Him and Kerins should be the Heat centers next year. No reason to have Gawdin around.

 

Gawdin may eventually become what Derek Grant ended up being.

A decent filler on a lesser team.

It took him forever to get his first point and now has 12 goals this year on a rebuilding team.

Boxing Day, middle of the cold months, nothing on TV...

Middle of summer, recent scandal, vacay time, lots of outdoorsy stuff to do...

 

Ooooh, okay as long as Edmonton isn't the problem because that would be quite shocking.

 

I would have thought the opportunity to go to Edmonton would have outweighed concerns about scandals.

They had no issues last December before they cancelled the darn thing.

How many times will EDM have the WJC in a row?

Is it 3 now after cancelling the last one.

Is this like getting 4 first overall picks?

they really were a perfect covid location lol.

 

I'm excited to see how Coronato does, he's an enigma to me.   He wasn't my first choice (Wallstedt), or my second (upgrading the pick), but he was probably a close tie for third (him and Ceulemans).

 

So I get it, he's a high risk high reward choice and imho we need to take those risks, even with our first rounders.   There's no point in just getting serviceable journeymen in the first round.     

 

Very very very hard to get a read on him with Covid, and hist first US college year was just good, not great.   

The WJC will put him in a level playing field where we an really see what he does.

 

I am hoping for a lot of goals, to be completely honest, from him.   And I am, at this point, optimistic about it.

So, are you just comparing one player drafted by the Flames to 2 years of drafting in DET?  Best of the two year that is.

Nope, nothing nefarious, just my watchlist of players.

I'm probably most looking forward to Coronato, Wallinder and Viro.

Everyone, but those 3 first.

Wallinder has another season under contract in the SEL, so I've heard more about him than I've actually seen.

I get it.  I am interested in Beck and Kerins.

Poirier and Kuz are also of interest.

Stromgren is tied to Sweden for some time.

Yup. Add Zary. I wish we weren't a couple years away on them, realistically.

If only we could send them all to the SHL. After his AHL stint, Seider commented that the SHL is a much better league.

Since we don't always have that luxury, it would also be nice to get them into some NHL games.  Zary missed out on a full AHL season due to a pre-season injury (foot I think).  We never really have the space to be forced to use them or evaluate them.  Honestly, I have no idea if Zary is as close as Pelletier.

True story. Shouldn't have counted, but damn....on and on about it.

 

Not great coverage that I saw (clip was in French?), but I am guessing it was batted in above the crossbar.

If that was the one they initially called a goal, fine, it was no goal.

Seen worse

He's not getting the love that others are, even on his own team.  Mazar is leading with goals (I think), but Coronato is always out there pushing the play.  I think he needs a couple of years in college to get his scoring dialed in.

No.  He needs to join us for our playoff run this coming season.
