You have to try really hard to out tank Buffalo, but Columbus is going about it the right way.

I don't see how he cracks the lineup, so it has to be a depth move which has the fringe benefit of having somebody who can be called up to run Tom Wilson.

I feel quite optimistic about next season but this would also not surprise me, especially if anything happens to Hellebuyck. Scheifele and Wheeler keep getting older, PLD is a huge question mark, and there's no cap space to do anything else with this roster.

Regardless of what happens, Paul Maurice should be fired.

Tucker Poolman not being on the roster for Maurice to give top pairing minutes to will help a lot as well. Dillon and Schmidt are big upgrades to what they had last year, and Heinola is probably going to earn a spot at some point next season.

The Jets D is looking the best it has since Buff retired, sucks for them that Sami Niku looked like poo poo every time he played last year, he looked like a good prospect at one point

Zac Rinaldo is the only player I know who got suspended in the NHL while clearing waivers, sent down before serving his suspension (meaning he would need to serve it if he got called up) and then immediately getting suspended in the AHL in either the 1st or second game he played there.

Rangers apparently hired an AGM and GM for Hartford, Ryan Martin. Was AGM of Detroit for like the past 10 years and GM of Grand Rapids

Seems decent

As long as they trolled his twitter history first.

And let's be honest, he probably didn't get to pick who got sent to him to develop. So if you don't draft well, you can only do so much for development.

Hard to tell how much direct impact an AGM has on the NHL side of things and player development

Detroit by and wide has seemed to leave Grand Rapids and Toledo to their own devices, and both have been overall very good in their respective leagues, for whatever that may or may not tell you.

Darude - Adam Sandstorm

Its not necessarily about who is being sent to develop, but how players are deployed and for what reason. If the goal is for the AHL team to win, you're going to have AHL vets getting top line minutes in all situations vs teams that focus on development pushing their young guys into those situations.

I realize that that is more about organizational philosophy as a whole but the AGM and GM of the AHL team absolutely has input with that stuff.

When looking up hockey workouts, I recently discovered that knee jumps are a thing and I tried to do it, failed miserably.

Not only do you have to be strong and fast, but you got to rewire your brain to convince your muscles that this is a motion that's possible. After a couple weeks I was sorta kinda able to pull one off but it's pretty abysmal how bad it looks.

Detroit also hasn't cared much about their youth pipeline when they spent the last 15 years replenishing the ranks by signing endless 3rd line free agent grinders born in Saginaw or Battle Creek

I can tell you that just dumping your prospects in the AHL and doing little to support them by signing good AHL talent is also not a particularly good way to develop prospects.

See: Sheldon Keefe's Calder Cup runs (1 win) as coach of the Marlies, the team was just actual NHLers (Kapanen, Johnsson, Dermott) coming down after the Leafs had been eliminated and a bunch of old AHL vets carrying the bus, not developing anybody that was a tweener into anything of note.

I don't think anyone has suggested that.

It would be good if there were better stats about the AHL including ice time because unless you're able to watch those AHL games or read a ton about it from specific people its so difficult to understand how teams deploy their players.

This was one of the problems the Oilers had before moving to Bakersfield. OKC was independently owned and they had trouble developing players because OKC wouldn't push prospects up the ladder unless they were already essentially NHL players (and at that point, you should be in the NHL)

Nah I'm just saying I think you need to use good AHL players to help support your prospects and not just have it be this loser dumping ground you hope guys will score some points in and then move on.
