I know my sarcasm detector is going haywire, but someone will now start a thread saying there is a cause for concern.

Guys I’ve crushed about six some beers. That’s the most in depth analytics I’m capable of giving right now.

the question of: "kulak vs kylington vs valimaki vs stone vs andersson - who should make the team?" would be a great thread topic.

Sort of agree.

There's a sizeable gap in skill between andersson and the group. I think Andersson has everything you need to be a top 4 defender in the NHL except for skating.

He's the worst skater of that group and I feel like I'm seeing him routinely exposed for it.

If that's happening against castoffs and AHLers, I don't think it bodes well for playing against, say, the real sharks team.

Kulak brings the same thing basically every shift. For a #6 guy, that's probably the most important quality to have.

I think Kylington has the inside track on Andersson because the pace of play he has to game is much higher. He looks like he has less skill than andersson, but his skating is effortless.

I am not sure, but I think management still views him as an asset. In which case they would prefer not risking it, unless it’s a clear cut decision. Besides goalies are strange creatures, you never know when everything finally clicks for one.

Seriously, whose dad controls the music at the dome? Nothing gets a crowd pumped up like a terrible 80’s Journey song.

I wonder if the SJ goalie’s nickname is Baggins?

Also, Wills, stop saying “high hard one.” I don’t think it means what you think it means.

Good post. Kulak right now still brings more than either Andersson or Kylington. Not great but I think Andersson will emerge ok sometime this season. Prout will be around all season imo.
