ParticipantAnyone read about the new CBA rule starting this season where teams will be allotted one spot in the AHL for a 19-year-old? Assuming the Hawks choices are essentially Vanacker or Spellacy if they decide to move one or the other up to AHL as they’re the only prospects that have signed their ELC that’d be worthy of the spot. Thoughts?
If it’s me, I’d move Spellacy up to AHL. Not sure how much more he’ll learn in the OHL and his ceiling/floor are a lot lower than Vanacker. I’d keep Vanacker in Brantford so he can get a full season of being the man with Lardis and O’Brien moving on and so he gets in a healthy season to gain confidence prior to moving up to AHL. He’s destined to be a crowd favorite when he hits the show but for now, let’s develop him properly.

ParticipantDo the Caps all of a sudden look like the Bruins this year? Bolts, Rangers, Pens players all getting AARP cards in the mail. Seems to me some teams are going to be better because their own division is getting worse.
I believe the two oldest teams this season are Pens and Kings. Get Brossoit healthy and start a bidding war between Habs and Kings please.

ParticipantI know there’s a lot of love out there for the Habs but i have to admit I’m really curious to see how they do this year. The east looks like it’s getting weaker every year.

Montreal and Ottawa are a couple of the up and comers. Florida, Toronto and Carolina have the talent. TB still has a little left in the tank. NJ is good enough. WASH may regress, but still make the playoffs. That’s 8.
Boston, NYR, PIT, NYI going the opposite direction. PHI not ready yet. Buffalo is Buffalo. Maybe Columbus and Detroit emerge as bubble teams.

ParticipantI don’t know if it happened to anyone else, but i couldn’t register here, and just figured out a week later that the email to create a password was going to my Spam folder. All good now, just have to figure out how to do my profile
Edit: Actually figured it out.
Glad you made it here.
