I remember there being a good debate here about whether Rantanen should have gone back to Europe instead of staying in the OHL. I had a side but can't remember which one I was on so I'll just assume I was right.

Did you mean Rin Tin Tin?  wag your options!

Rasanen can definitely ask to be loaned to the OHL if he's not crazy about playing behind... Viktor Loov.

He'd be considered an overager now which might complicate things.

Ah, good eye.

The Marlies have Liljegren, Hollowell, Duszak, Lindgren down the right at the moment, with the possibility of Schmaltz or Holl getting waived down. So his path there is arguably even more blocked now. Loan to ECHL by way of Marlies?

Is he good enough for the East Coast?

I mean he'd still be better off in the Marlies press box all season long (and getting access to all their coaches/resources) than sitting on the bench every game in Europe where the coach probably doesn't even know his name.

The funny-sad part is that he chose Jokerit because he admired the coach, Lauri Marjamaki.

There's a pattern to the intangibles the Dubas era is targeting in players and hirings.

This profile reads a lot like Dermott and Sandin.

Cat Silverman, goaltending consultant with the Coyotes, takes a look at Woll's game.

In case you missed it on the Rookie Tournament thread (which kicks off tonight), Woll was withdrawn from the roster due to a broken finger.
 
A couple of Nick Robertson pieces out today, which is timely after his pretty strong showing in the Traverse City tournament so far:

Same team as currently injured defenseman Mikko Kokkonen.

SDA got suspended for fighting Friday night. You can tell the dude he fought is a POS for 3 reasons: 1) he punches SDA a bunch of times while he's on the ground, 2) he's Todd Bertuzzi's son, and 3) his name is freakin' Tag.
 
More importantly, I think that's the first time I've heard SDA's name spoken out loud. Is that the proper pronunciation?

It sounds like he was saying DAR instead of DER-AR. You can hear SDA himself pronounce it here: https://soundcloud.com/peterborough-petes/der-arguchintsev-semyon

Granted, I couldn't blame announcers for not saying it 100% right.
 
So, Korshkov might actually turn out to be a player. 

He's followed up his strong camp by putting up 5 goals in 8 games so far with the Marlies.

I can't believe it.
