That being said, I don't know the timetable for Petr's return.

Nobody does, yet. Hopefully we'll have some idea soon.

If Mrazek can make a late season return, I still think we can ride Reimer/Ned into playoff position. With a fresh healthy Petr in net in the postseason, I don't really care what seed we are.

If he's done for the year, we are gonna have to do some shopping.

Again, I am not trying to knock on Reimer here (or even Ned - who I don't think is truly ready), but we can't put all our fortune on Reims and Ned if we are truly going for the Cup.

That being said, I don't know the timetable for Petr's return.

I'd so trade Turbo for a legit goalie. Reims has played well for the most part...but we're at that point where Mrazek's injury is gonna catch up.

There is a reason that Ned cleared waivers.

Fair enough. But, Reimer is currently 4-1 on the season.

Nah I like Reims. He cant win every game and I think he was put in bad positions all game.  I just dont think he is enough and now we've seen two years in a row where injuries at the goalie position are costing us.

That game wore me out. It’s frustrating to lose to the Red Wings and then the Blackhawks. Reimer didn’t get much help tonight but this is the game I think Ned should have played in. The Canes schedule coming up:

Blue Jackets x2

Star x2

Blue Jackets

Panthers

I really don’t understand why RBA didn’t give Reimer a break. Now you’re looking at Ned’s first game coming against the top tier of the Central. It would have made more sense to start Ned tonight and let him, maybe, battle it out against the rebuilding/retooling Blackhawks. But I guess I have to hope there’s a plan.

I think they would have score 8 on Ned.  I know Reim gave up 6 but I dont think this game is on him.

I have a couple of thoughts on Turbo:

  • I think he is definitely rusty coming off being sick and will eventually get back on track.
  • He won't be traded because he is a good player on a terrific contract.
  • Ultimately, he may be shifted to a different line to get his "groove" bac

If we do trade for a goalie I expect a D-man and pick(s) would be traded.

The only issue I have with Petr coming back in the postseason is rust, it could be costly.

Maybe he'll be able to get back before then and get some games under his belt before the postseason.  He was off to a great start.

All that being said, our defense is better than they played the last couple of games.  I am sure RBA will let them know about it.

I think Turbo's contract is why a team would trade a decent goalie for him. Wish we would have went after Lehner back when he was an FA.  

I do think reshuffling Turbo is a good idea. I wouod definitely take him off the pp.

Not a Dman Id be willing to trade. At

I believe we did go after Lehner but he wanted more $$$$ than we were willing to pay!

      An analysis of Brooks from The Fantasy Footballers provides possible insight as to why he's worth the price paid

      By TD alt · Posted

      Sometimes you get very valuable information from fantasy football sites. I found an analysis that you may want to read from The Fantasy Footballers. Perhaps you'll gain an insight as to why we moved up and got him. As always, here are a few snippets: "As expected, he dominated in the 2023 season. He averaged an impressive 2.03 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play, which ranks in the 86th percentile among all junior seasons since 2013." "Naturally, after initially playing behind two NFL-caliber running backs, Brooks’ career numbers do not jump off the page. However, his 2023 campaign gave us a glimpse of just how massive his upside could be at the next level. In fact, Brooks is one of only TWO running backs in this class to exceed 2.00 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play within their first three seasons in college."  "If you watch Jonathon Brooks’ film, you will find multiple plays in which he created yardage with his quick feet and lateral agility. He is elusive in open spaces and has an impressive ability to stack multiple cuts to avoid contact. Combined with his impressive burst and acceleration, Brooks can be a matchup nightmare in the second and third levels of the defense." "While Brooks is not the most physical running back, he does have a knack for absorbing contact and bouncing off defenders. You see this time and time again in his film." "He showcased a willingness to initiate contact with the pass rusher, the strength to maintain blocks, and the quickness to adjust to the defender’s moves. In addition, per PFF, Brooks was a top-three running back in the 2024 class in pass-blocking grade last season. He was also one of only two running backs in the class to average a 0% pass block pressure rate, highlighting just how effective he was as a blocker." "In short, Brooks has tremendous upside as a prospect. Even with his ACL injury, I would still be comfortable drafting him in the early second round of rookie drafts. In fact, I would not be shocked if he finished his career as the most productive running back in this class. However, we just need to temper our expectations for his rookie year as he slowly ramps up to full health." Marvin Elequin provides more here (including video clips): https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/dynasty/2024-rookie-profile-rb-jonathon-brooks-fantasy-football/   Basically, Brooks has the potential to be a beast, and was well worth the 46th pick (and most mocks had him going mid second round anyway). He's not JAG. Someone had to make the move and take him, and we were the ones to do it. He's elusive, has good speed and acceleration, exceptional contact balance, and is an outstanding blocker. Just like any nice RB transitioning to the league, he will need to get used to taking what the defense gives him, while also showing discriminating patience, but he has demonstrated some ability on that front in college. Brooks' only real knock is the ACL. But ACLs aren't career ending anymore, or even skill ending as evidenced by Dalvin Cook, Todd Gurley and others. We'll just need to temper our expectations during his rookie campaign while he gets back to form. Once he does, we'll finally have the talented three-down back that has eluded us since Stew retired.

      2024 Who would you have picked

      By R0CKnR0LLA · Posted

      2.43 : Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon 2.52 : Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas 3.65 : Junior Colson, LB, Michigan 3.79 : Blake Corum, RB, Michigan 4.101 : Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas 😎 5.141 : Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, C, Georgia 5.142 : Austin Booker, Edge, Kansas 5.155 : Christian Jones, OT, Texas Note, I traded down from 33 (took the Arizona/Atlanta trade up to 35 - might have actually been able to net an even better deal but whatever, I'll go with this). Took the Rams trade but stayed put at 52 and at the top of the 3rd.
