2025-26 Prospects Thread

If some guy is following some other guy’s mother around a bar calling her a whore, well, a punch in the mouth is on the table. 

Don’t know if that is what happened, of course, but if that is what happened, it wouldn't result in any new concerns for me about having a guy like that on my hockey team.

I know, I was talking about the mom related stuff that I was trying to avoid posting here myself since it all just comes from a couple random text screenshots where one claims something even more outlandish than what was posted here.

Still faces misdemeanor charges for disorderly conduct and harassment. No matter what, there is still a 25% chance (according to lottery odds) he'll be sentenced to playing for the Vancouver Canucks.

Keenan has really stepped up this season, it has been great to see.  He's been a nice dark horse prospect to play on the bottom pair in the NHL with his size (6'4'' 200 lbs) and mobility.  Adding some offense to his game really makes him intriguing.

I honestly assumed he was done for the year after surgery

Buium has 5 points in his last 4 games

"Buium has 5 points in his last 4 games..."

 

Just a WAG: I would guess that Buium needed to shake off some rust his first half-dozen to a dozen games...

If he's breaking out right now... I hope that continues...

He signed a two year deal with his Swedish team that runs through next season, I imagine he comes to NA after that

It is very bizarre, outside of a quick mention on a Griffins broadcast I haven't been able to find any info or announcements about him actually being injured.  One of the Winged Wheel Podcast in a since deleted tweet said that Danielson wasn't hurt or sick when he wasn't in a lineup.

Bear has been scorching hot this back half of the season, have to think the injury recovery slowed him down at first

[1984Echoes]

Can we trade Ras for...

Anything?

Some pucks?

Yeesh... he's ended up being the exact same as Mantha.

both are lazy passengers too often but mantha was at least talented and could score.  ras is close to worthless.

Makes you wonder if McLellan's message the other day about 'Jerseys' might have been directed at Yzerman too - as "why are these guys still here?"
