Not sure, but he got charged by a Cap who was ejected. When I say charge, I mean he went flying from beside the net head first into the boards in the corner.

New poll question.

I said Aaron Ekblad because Avalanche(team I would like to work with as a GM) currently needs high-level defenseman who can replace Hejda within 2-3 years and be a #1-2 defenseman in the team beside Erik Johnson.

Speaking of being a GM, I really wish that they'd have a simulator for hockey managers that's multiplayer. That'd be awesome :D

I know! Then we can trade with each other by swapping picks and similar type of players! :p

Which team would you be GMing in the game though.

Any one of the Cali trio, although I think the Kings have the best build. Also teams like Maple Leafs, Rangers, Bruins, Canadians, Black Hawks, Red Wings... teams that don't have to worry about financing. I'm fairly open to GMing :D

Theoretically, we could set something like this up, but we'd need a simulator that takes into account skill increase, player chemistry, injuries, etc.

Ekblad. He's one of the most solid Defensive Prospects I've seen in a long time. He'll do well.

Plus, each team eligible for the #1 at current desperately needs help on their blue line.

Well, maybe the Isles should go after a Net Minder.

Idk if there is a clear cut favourite for top goaltending prospect this time. On last draft Zachary Fucale was clear favourite.
