    Good skater. Generally handles the puck really well. Also skilled at using body positioning to protect the puck while he has it. Gets out of the def zone pretty well and is capable of taking it into the off zone without dumping.

    Sometimes makes bad passes. And I mean: astonishingly bad. “You just gave up an odd-man rush” bad. Similarly: his defending is alright, but when he makes mistakes, they are back-breakers. Like ignoring a guy camped on your goalies backdoor kind of mistake. He’s okay when he’s not falling asleep in his own zone, but it happens enough that he’s a liability AND THATS AT THE COLLEGE LEVEL.

    Right now he’s an awful third pairing guy in the NHL begging to stay in the AHL.

      12:00 into the new CHN podcast and Adam Wodon finally becomes the first college hockey media figure to say what every right minded badger fan has been saying for a year and a half.

        Can you just say it so we don't have to track it down?

          Basically: they were talking about the end of UW’s season, Joe Meloni starts with the usual spiel about how “bad” UW’s goaltending is (which has been the broken record among all college hockey reporters since mid-last season).

          Adam Wodon counters with the theory that the defense might be bad, noting how much better Hayton, Jurusik, et al play when they aren’t at UW. They then cap off an earlier talking point about Miller being disinterested in his own zone.

          It was like Wodon tapped into our hive mind for a minute.

            Miller needs a lot of playing time to improve. He does not play with toughness.

            He should stay in school.

            Now it will ne bus rides and the AHL.

                Turcotte signed. Per Milewski and the Kings’ AHL affiliate on twitter.

                He was the one I was most hopeful might actually stay.

                  Welp, time to start updating the spreadsheet....

                  Edit: and done...

                  Washed '19-'20 off the sheet and moved onto next season. (Only Turcotte removed at this point. Others will be removed when official news is released.)

                    Could be quite a few leaving now. The locker room had to be toxic.

                      I find it interesting that Turcotte was very candid about feeling like he struggled this year, yet he did not choose the path of waiting to be dominant at a level before moving up.

                      I don’t say that necessarily to critique him, or suggest that he is soft, it could also be an indicator of problems in the locker room as you said.

                      For a team so highly skilled that performed so underwhelmingly, perhaps anything is possible.

                        I dunno. With Turcotte, I think the decision had a lot to do with injuries. He’s spent a lot of time the past two years injured. When the Kings gave him an offer, the fact that he’s been hurt two years in a row had to play a role. Basically, am I pushing my luck here if I stay and get hurt again. For a 19 year old kid, it’s hard to walk away from a three year deal when he has suffered multiple injuries now.

                        This post seems heartfelt. I think it was less locker room and more looking out for himself: https://www.instagram.com/p/B9nWfThgC0g/?igshid=1mdm25inkhjvk

                          Yeah, TG had said a few times that Alex would get frustrated especially early in the year and he'd have to talk him back to a good place. The frustration COULD come out of a bit of an entitlement attitude which COULD be an issue in the locker room. It is sad that he isn't trying to avoid the same mistake Alfie did, which all the Turcotte people mentioned as a reason to play college hockey, and to move on up when ready, which he is not doing. I am jacked to stick Matty DSP into his spot and watch him put up 30 pts his Fr year.

                          If Cole sticks around, he will gain much respect from me anyway; all that goal scoring ability one would think he's be an automatic to leave, though physically he's not there yet. The thing is in the AHL how much strength training do you do vs college? Games and travel may get in the way of the weight room there, but school gets in the way here.

                          The guy I want to stay the most is Holloway. He didn't get a lot of points this year but clearly he is an impactful player. He's due to explode next year.

                          The guy I'm most disappointed in is Wiessbach. He's 40 a pt talent, TG needs to figure out how to get him to that level.

                              The team was just trying to do their fans the service of saving their travel money. We should be GRATEFUL for what this team did for all of us this year.
