KB: Blir inte ett dugg förvånad om Bernhardt får fortsätta med Näsén. Har inte Karlin velat sära på dom förut så varför skulle han göra det nu.

Foppatofflan:

D. Rundblad - D. Bernhardt
P. Näsén - K. Rubins
E. Wahlberg - D. Brickley
N. Folin - J. Norén

Olli Nomadinen : Walli förtjänar att börja högre upp och lät ju inte som att Niederbach kommer gå center kommande säsong.

Ny Sniper - Rouhomaa - Sampo
Walli - Big Dick - Woods
Aagaard - Big Sam - Niederbach
Ohlsson - AP - Södergran/EJK

Lelle_99: Hur lång tid tar det innan vissa kommer fram med motorsågen över denna värvning då tro

"Just looking at his height and weight, you can infer he’s a shutdown defenceman. I wouldn’t necessarily disagree, but Rubins was not always that way. He comes from a family of athletes, and chose hockey because of the speed. He took figure skating lessons before he moved to Sweden to play pro. He’s a quick learner, now fluent in Latvian, Swedish, and English. There is so much more to his game than just size."

"When he was working with the puck, Rubins was unexceptional. He made good, hard passes, but often hesitated to get them off. It was without the puck where I noticed his footwork, his effortless pivots, his grace while engaging a puck carrier. Combine that with a long stick and Rubins was neutralizing some of the Leafs top forwards in drills."

"The biggest thing he needs to work on is making a defensive zone pass under pressure, that is true of many young defencemen. The upside is having such a mobile defencemen that also brings physicality around the net and a huge range on the PK. "

"On the ice, it’s surprising to see a 6’5″ frame with such graceful skating. Rubins doesn’t blow you away with his acceleration, but he’s got a long stride and wicked top speed in a straight line."
