Why not? He's doing fine in AHL and Rags have the worst prospect pool in NHL.
Maybe now, but certainly not in the first 4 years in AHL. I dont know what happened to Jensen in this time frame, but there is a million guys with his talent and not least his effort. If his skills isnt showing each game I would be very reluctant to extend him with the rumors of his work ethics. This is all speculation as nobody really knows what is going on with him.
You get a sense that Colorado is hammering down on the selfdestruct button, although Bødkers production has been decent so far...they seem to like him on the boards despite s lot of concern that he night not resign...i personally think he will..i dont think money is his main morivation...he certainly looks happy on the ice.
Still a little frustrating because you feel like he has the ability to dominate every shift but just doesnt. He is playing a lot better than for arizona.
Ehlers is back with the goals and freddy got an ot victory
Ehlers played well last night despite lack of pts.
Good to hear, thank you for the update. I got little time to follow him ATM.
His line looked insane. Had me screaming at my TV. That toe drag between the legs to a backhand shot was ridiculous!
Franzie played his NHL game number 600 last night!!! Will he reach 1000 games before he retire?
I'm gonna guess no. But he'll properly be close though.
Wonder if Lars Eller or Mikkel Bødker will get there.
I would also guess it could be close, Jannik Hansen might also be close. He is almost 2 years younger than frans, and only 70 games behind. Mikkel and Lars are even more likely.
Player games age
Frans Nielsen 600 31,96
Jannik Hansen 530 30,07
Mikkel Bødker 457 26,31
Lars Eller 436 26,92
If we assume they can keep on playing 70 games a season ( most of them have been higher, but they are getting older) they will reach 1000 games at the following ages:
Frans Nielsen 37,7
Jannik Hansen 36,8
Mikkel Bødker 34,1
Lars Eller 35,0
Mikkel Bødker seems like the most likely candidate, and apart from his spleen injury he has been almost injury free so far, so he might get there faster with a few 82 games seasons
In my opinion Bødker needs to go to a contending team next season. He is entering his prime and he can not wait another 3-4 years before Colorado is ready. Hell, I am not even sure they got the right coach to be honest. I was watching some of the game on saturday and with 10 minutes remaining and Minnesota leading 3-0, Roy pulls the goalie in a powerplay. Granted, Avs had not been playing great the first 50 minutes, but what a gigantic ****up.
This was exactly the calculation I felt like doing if I weren't busy Great to see it - I was going by Frans having to play 80 games for five seasons to get there. I don't think he's in the league for five seasons or plays 80 games a season from here on out. But I agree he'll properly make it close.
Can you do Ehlers to? Just because he should crush the rest if he stays at his current trajectory.
Ehlers will be on the first line from the beginning next year...if his career goes well, he will crush not just in amount of games but in every category.
'Sure that would be great, but will a contending team play him 4,75 or 5.something? Boedker brings top line speed, and top line potential but he doesnt bring top line production...
Don't worry, I'm pretty confident he'll be an Islander next season
But either way he will bring top line production be it with Tavares or Duchene, - hell he already is with Duchene.
I wouldn't focus on those $ rumours, I don't think that will decide where he plays and there simply isn't enough games left for him to really run up his price tag.
Whats up with Anaheim?
Freddie injured?
From the recap of the game on NHL.com it is a concussion, I have no idea about when he got it or how serious it is. Just hoping the best for him
Andersen back with a bang. SO in his first game back, and 2nd star.
Freddy and Gibson, also won the Jennings trophy.
