If Conner Bedard was playing for the Texas Stars he wouldn’t get ranked in the top 100 either. The kids/men playing in Texas get no respect from main stream sports
A hypothetical question for you. Let’s imagine that Nill brings the twins in Dallas tomorrow and this doesn’t affect the Cap.
How would you insert them in the lineup with the double objective to maximize the Stars’ roster and also to give them the best environment for the beginning of their NHL career.
The miscues with the puck are growing like weeds, and even Borque was not immune on Sunday.
What blows my mind is how much other teams respect/fear the Borquoven line. In the Rockford series last weekend, if they got into the offensive zone at full strength the Icehogs treated it like they were on the PK. No aggressive play toward the puck, they just retreated to a defensive pattern and prayed for mercy.
But Chicago played like there were no consequences. Two forecheckers on the penalty kill. Hard flexes to the puck in the defensive zone. Texas got zero clean ice in that series and the results, well they were disappointing. They may not be good, but they knew what they were doing and did it well this weekend.
Just saw the rankings of the under-23 players in The Athletic by Pronman.
He ranked Bourque at 110. Maybe you should send to Pronman some of your analysis of Mavrik.
Or maybe just begin by sending him the AHL players' stats.
