Rudy Guimond was taken in the 6th round in 2023.  He's playing for Moncton in the Quebec league and went 16-0 in the regular season and 6-0 in the playoffs with .930+ save %.  Watch him surpass Augustine and Cossa because that's how sports works

Maybe for goalies they should move the draft age from 18 to 21. They're such wildcards.

while they are at it they could do the same for the whole NBA.

last year kasper had 7 points in the playoffs.

this year danielson has 1 point in the playoffs.

that post was made 2 months ago during the playoffs as grand rapids crashed out early. 

cossa performed poorly too.  most of them did except for mbn.

You should have dignified your answer with a fact.

again, you quoted me two months after i made that post.  it was made during a playoff game that they blew a 4-1 lead and lost, and got swept in the opening round.

danielson didnt perform well in the playoffs.  almost none of them did.

Comparing Danielson and Kasper's Griffins stints is a tough one for me.  Kasper didn't really get an offseason going into that year and obviously started slow.  But he also had the advantage of playing against men already in Sweden plus the Griffins team around him was much better.  I think he played with Berggren mostly who is a very good AHL player.  Danielson was on a much worse team and was basically asked to be their best player (top line center, pk and pp).  Having Watson as your main winger is a tough ask and they didn't really have a defender good at breaking the puck out, they really missed Johansson and Edvinsson back there.

So it is tough for me to say who was "better" but I think they both had pretty solid seasons respectively.

i dont think his playoff performance means he's a bust or isnt ready or won't be good once he gets here.  it doesnt even mean he won't be here out of training camp.  my post was made MONTHS AGO in the moment of watching GR play horribly in the playoffs and blow a 4-1 lead to lose the series.  a series in which danielson did not statistically show the dame promise that kasper did a year ago.  that's all.

danielson could have a great camp and come in as a #2 or #3 C and push copp or compher to the wing.  i could see that happening.

i know having good teammates means you have more points, but i expect danielson to drive more play this year and develop into a better player regardless of who his linemates are.

unless he gets stuck playing with justin holl, then all bets are off.

fwiw I recalled you making the post during the playoffs (it was disappointing overall for the team honestly) so I got what you meant.  I just figured I'd give a take / non-take about the Kasper/Danielson stuff since cruzer had touched on it and I'm really bored today.
