Edit: I forgot Juolevi, but he’s forgettable
I really liked Jonathan!! But Green didnt like him! Kept saying he has to work on his defence. Tbh im kinda not liken green's coaching! I think at seasons end we should sign Quenville and give him ago. He has 3 stanly cups and he has that run and gun sysme we like and he knows how développe young players! Look at the développement of Towes Kane Seabrook Crawford
Hard to care when per year they make 60 times what I make for playing a game. Unplugging from the matrix is harder to do than it is say. Sounds better if you leave OUT the money aspect.
Too bad Dahlen wasn't progressing as hoped. It could be one of those situations where his chemistry with Pettersson would have made them epic together. I guess we'll never know now. Seems to me its a gamble to trade for Linus Karlsson since he's younger and harder to gauge how he'll grow. But we'll have to hope this is a better move.
Maybe Dahlén will develop in sharks, he was a topplayer in swedish 2nd league, Linus Karlsson might get some games in utica. Dont think he will do more than one season then headback to sweden
Canucks one that trade. Grabranson old school.Beartchi Time to make it or Break it .Pearson Good player .BEARTCHI Bad Signing injury prone. His Days are coming.MY 54 Why .
I for one am very glad I don't have to watch Guddy on my TV anymore
I hope that Linus Karlsson will be just as surprisingly good as Pettersson. Good luck with the Barracudas Dahlén!
Im from Karlskrona and Im watching all Karlskrona games. So I can give my opinion about Linus Karlsson. Linus was placed in the fourth line in the beginning of the season until we sold Matt Carey, a top center to SHL. Then Linus got placed in second line. We start to see a little more from Linus now. He has started to produce more points and is much more visible on the ice. He has good wrists and can also put some good passes that leads to goals. He hasn't shot so often during the season but I know he has a good shot from last season in Karlskrona J20. He is a hard-working center who also tries to be a bit tough with the opponents. He might need to work on his speed on the skates. Luckily, we have a good physio coach here in Karlskrona.
His face-offs need some improvements too. It's better now than it was at the beginning of the season tho. I've also met and talked with Linus once, and he is a really nice guy and seems really motivated to improve his game. I see potential in Linus Karlsson.
Video way too quiet
I thought the good news was the no trade of Goldobin. Maybe TG will play him on the EP40 line. Hopefully.
Let EP40 carry the puck into the neutral and offensive zone a lot more than what has been the case lately.
The power play is to stationary.

No one freak out, pettersson has chemistry with everyone. Put him with panarin or kappo
Pearson reminds me of what Jake Virtanen can be like once the consistency shows
The fact that Benning was able to get a potential top six forward from Gudbranson is a great hockey trade; especially if Pearson can jump up his game and develop chemistry with Horvat. If that were to happen, looking back and seeing that we got Pearson for Gudbranson will be laughable. Lets just hope that Gudbranson doesn't pull a Schultz and transform into what we hoped he could be. As for Dahlen, after watching Benning's media conference, it seems as though Dahlen was impatient in developing and that flipping him for a (potentially better) prospect is another good move by our GM. Can't wait to see what Jim does at the draft this year!
UrinatingTree is pissed. So am I.
Must be hard to see your friend (Pettersson) doing so well and you (Dahlén) is struggeling. Hope Dahlén bounces back in SJ.
So Dahlén now commented why he wanted the trade. He didn't get along with the coach. Fair enough I say. I think hockey coaches in general could be better of taking care of talents and also different personalities. Some talents need more time to gain confidence and find the rhytm of the game. Just to bench a player and yell at him after a bad shift isn't very effective in my opinion.
