I'm guessing 'week to week' is code for not good at all.  Likely going to have to win this series without him. I saw in practice they had Granlund/Hintz/Dadonov on a line and Benn/Johnston/Rantanen.   With Robo out do we see Rantanen taking more double shifts like he did at Colorado?    

The vibes are bad but if we can grab game 1 the energy completely shifts.  No reason, even without Robo, we can't score on these guys.  Blackwood has never played in a playoff game.  Score on him early and let him feel some pressure.  Then we probably need Jake to play his A game.  With state of our D and who we are playing, just no way we're going to shut them down.  He's going to have to stop some super high quality chances for us to win.

That take on Mikko is lazy and dumb. Avs did not kick him out of town, they offered him 11.75 x 8 and he flat out said no. He signed a 12 x 8 with the Stars after he realized he was never getting the 14 x 8 he wanted.

He and his agent thought the Avs were bluffing and they were wrong. Avs told him they would trade him if he didn't sign before the trade deadline.

I an sure they would have given him the contract he signed in Dallas, but he wanted Drai money.

Jordan Bennington is the most overrated goalie in history, the defense in front of him is top notch in big games

at the same time Hellebyuck doesn't get a lot of help in big games

I'd put it more on the agent than the player. I think 6 weeks in Carolina was enough for him to take charge of his own affairs and make sure he got the hell out of there. 

Edit: it should be noted that Andy Scott is the agent for both Draisaitl and Rantanen. Also Wyatt Johnston who was signed immediately after Rantanen. All those rumors that were being fed to Elliot I'd be willing to bet my bottom dollar came straight from Andy Scott because Nill ain't gonna say shit.

Yeah, but the fact that he didn't fire his agent tells me he wasn't blindsided. He just pushed too far.
I miss Josh and Razor so much...

You don't like Moser and Rycroft? Maybe watch the TNT broadcast.
