White Cloud munching early minutes and doesn't look like there's a step down in quality from the outgoing Andersson. Early yet but maybe the player swap was lateral and the picks are the bonus even with all the conditions.

Whitecloud is never going to get you 30 points in 48 games.

Defensively, Whitecloud is supposed to be better than Andersson, or at least more consistent. The offensive difference isn't going to be that visible in a game where nobody has scored any goals yet.

Dillon looked like he jumped up on Sharky on that hit.

If a team offers a first, Conroy has no choice but to move him.
2nd or lower I think they hold him

The J-Fresh cards like him more than Andersson as Andersson's defensive WAR is no good.

Not that I agree with that, as Andersson was never really loved by advance stats especially when it comes to shot suppression.

Always have to be wary though because advanced stats also don't do a great job adjusting for good dmen playing tough minutes on bad teams.

This is an interesting take too though.

Good to see PP specialist Kevin Bahl out there. Great choice Egghead. How about putting Klapka out there to screen Markstrom. Just an idea .

Huberdeau and Kadri are black holes of suck right now. Separate the two of them. They are dragging the whole team down right now.

He hasn't looked 100% all season. Easily his worst season as a Flame.

Nice play by NJD there. 1-0 Devils.
