There's a lot of chatter with Trai Turner but never about Norwell. I think that this is the first year that he really put it all together. I wouldn't count on his pass protection being this great moving forward, it was a bit of a career year in that regard, but he's always been a solid run blocker (which we may need more than pass protecting on the interior at this point), so you're probably buying high and not getting the same value, but that's okay to me.

Chrissooner49er Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 As for TE prospects I really like both Andrews and Fumagali. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah.. a guy on a forum who knows actual curlers... only in Canada, eh. Bobsled is fun, but how about skeleton? That's insane. And hockey is probably going to be the most boring it has been in 24 years. Ha! I said it because some would find such things boring. Not me.

I’m really enjoying watching my Avs this year. MacKinnon is tearing it up and they already have as many wins this year as they did last year, and we’re only half way through the year. It’s been a fun turnaround to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the future is bright for the Avs. That D will be totally revamped in years to come. You just got a young powerplay quarterback in Sam Girard, in that beautiful Duchene trade (from your end... ottawa got seriously screwed), and you have Connor Timmins and Cale Makar in junior, just waiting to explode. These three Ds will be good for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tell Girard is young and still figuring it out, but he’s going to be a good one; his skating, hands, and vision are fantastic. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Timmins sooner than Makar, but I think once Makar makes it up to the Avs he’s going to be dominant. I still can’t believe they almost botched the deal with Zadorov this summer over half a million bucks; that dude is going to be a top line guy for years to come. Big Z is just a solid as they come if you’re asking me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw2noobbuster Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 To be honest it's more Ottawa's system affecting Duchene then Duchene slumping. He's not been putting up great numbers but it's Bouchard's system is extremely tough on players and limits their offensive potential in favour of defensive structure.

Big Z is just a solid as they come if you’re asking me. I didn't know Timmins much before the world juniors, but last week, he really opened my eyes. So solid, so calm, he looked like a pro among... juniors... I know Dahlin was named the best defenseman of the tourney, but really, Timmins was perhaps the best player overall. He did have a slower start, perhaps. But by the end, he was as dominant a two-way D-man as there was in the tournament. He wasn't the flashy type going end to end on a speed rush, but he did everything you could ask of him. Very Duncan Keith-esque. And Makar, surely not the surest D in his zone, but once he's in transition or on the powerplay, that guy is dynamic. Those two are sure-fire NHLers.
