STL/DAL Erik Karlsson on the move

other than Suter Minnys D blows.

I agree. Bright future though imo. Dumba could be super fun to watch.

agreed, I also like Brodin and IMO it wouldnt shock me to see him play for them this season..

[The BBKL Insider]

Pete realized it's Justin Falk and not Justin Faulk coming his way?

kareem made that mistake with me once lol

[hong57]

well, about Stoner/Prosser/Falk i was more trolling than anything.. still, Falk in AHL doesn't seem that unrealistic.

personally I have no idea what they do. Stoner signed a 2 year 1 way deal last year, prosser just re upped a 2 year 1 way deal as well and falk signed a 1 year 1 way deal. So Im guessing they will have 7 dmen with them at all time. I dont think they have plans of having any of those guys in the ahl.

Suter's odd man out

Brodin is not a lock.

[Nick]

let's remember that 1-way doesn't mean requires waivers.

[shooker]

let's remember that 1-way doesn't mean requires waivers.

well aware but that means they have to pay them 800+ thou each to play in the ahl. I'm not saying they wouldn't but clearly that isn't their intention with the player when signing a one way. ala frattin.

in 47 games, Justin Falk had:

78 Blks, 78 Hits, 54 PIM and 110 SHTOI in his very limited role. Those are very beast periph stats for a rookie.

Suter-Gilbert
Scandella-Spurgeon
Stoner-Brodin
Prosser

i'm confident he'll be able to replicate those numbers.. in the AHL

you must own Brodin? am I right?

beat me to it

Brodin is not a lock.

one (lockout) season later i still own Brodin, I probably will for a long time, and I think last year numbers show predicting him in the lineup was not a reach at all:

his 2013 TOI/G: 23:12
second on the team only to Suter despite coming off a collarbone surgery that had him missing the first 3 games.

This season start should convince everyone it wasn't a fluke:
his 2013/2014 TOI/G: 25:42

This thread came back to my mind when coming across this article today
http://www.startribune.com/sports/wild/228560091.html

Thursday night in Tampa though, Scotty Bowman, one person who knows Lidstrom better than most, used Brodin and Lidstrom in the same breath multiple times.
........
He believes Brodin, Phoenix’s Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Ottawa’s Erik Karlsson are the three best young defensemen in the game today

Came back to your mind, or you had it bookmarked waiting for the right moment for somebody to praise Brodin for you to bump it?

i thought i had it bookmarked indeed, but actually had to find it through search when reading the article.

As you can see by the numbers, it's not like i needed to wait for Bowman's words lol

[kimmer]

Fag lol

[Peter]

Hampus lindholm is this year's brodin

[Robin Hood]

Great call, Mik. I enjoy going through threads where it's one GM vs all of BBKL defending a certain player/value and that person ends up being right. Disagreeing on things like this is what makes this league fun.

[shooker]

I didn't know Don Cherry had a team in bbkl

I also called Brodin in this thread.
but im always right.

this was not a real case of someone against the league, but i agree, people seem to get pissed at old threads bumping but looking at how things indeed unfolded is the only way to bring discussions to completion, it's fun and make them worth to me.

I mean, like witnessing Kareem in the last place of the Western Conference after in the past he cried and argued like forever to jump conference claiming he would then dominate

Kareem took over a mess in VAN and would be a top team if he cared/was active. Just my opinion on that.
