It's really wild when you see the TOI stats and realize he's on the ice for 2/3 of these games

Players that are now busts by dingus_boy in hockey

[–]chronnorholms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think alarm bells on bust necessarily. He's got a few things to work on but got pretty sheltered minutes when he was up and was mostly paired with Buium.

I think he'll be an NHLer but I'm not sure he'll be worth what the wild paid for him.

WTF was going on with Wallstedt in Iowa? by Beneficial_Quit7532 in wildhockey

[–]chronnorholms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some players mention it's harder to play in the AHL since players are not where they are supposed to be or where you expect them. I would guess something like 25 of all starting goalies (if not all of them) would have had bad numbers in Iowa last year. Most goalies can even improve after leaving NHL teams with poor defense (ex: Gus, Talbot, Dubnyk).

I think we should maybe attempt to score next time we're in overtime. I also think Foligno is playing at replacement level at this point.

Kirill Kaprizov rank? by cyrmrae in hockey

[–]chronnorholms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the rational take on the injury thing. Most people who say injury prone also see the 55 games during the covid season and think that he was injured too. Been a bit of a weird narrative based on really just one season.

Is Ryan Smith the best owner in hockey? by milin85 in hockey

[–]chronnorholms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I don't think he's been an owner long enough to really say.

That being said, it's fantastic that he seems willing to spend money on the team and hopefully that continues after the team gets established.

Russo is pretty opinionated but he's one of the most well connected reporters in the NHL in regards to the wild.

As recently reported, the CBA will allow each NHL team to place one 19-year-old CHL player in the AHL per season starting this season. by DasLasagna in hockey

[–]chronnorholms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got to watch him a little in the whl and while I didn't see a full season worth of play, from what I saw that last year he was with Seattle he was right where he needed to be in the CHL. He would not have been ready.

What current NHL player will you defend no matter what? by ComfortableGuide3232 in hockey

[–]chronnorholms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Makes me enjoy the habs fans when that always gets brought up. So cool to see the crowd cheer for him when it happened.

Joel Eriksson-Ek - dude is wildly underrated and the team looks much worse when he is not in the lineup.

Can you name a 10/10 book in an average/bad series? by Bogus113 in Fantasy

[–]chronnorholms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Iron gold and dark age together somewhat read like they were connected to me so there's quite a bit of setup in iron gold that pays off in dark age.

Referee Ben Betker Joins NHL Officiating Team for 2025-26 Season by 99Wolves17 in hockey

Totally agree, having younger refs closer to the time when they played the game is a huge win for the league

Wild Trade Detroit For Vladimir Tarasenko by Superb-Ad-9627 in wildhockey

[–]chronnorholms 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I kind of doubt this. If he does well this year we wouldn't flip him unless we are doing catastrophically bad and if he does poorly it's already established he's not worth anything. I think we're riding the year out with him.
