Yeah, they're older.
Evan LobsingerHOST
71:32
Uh, I'll be interested to see how Ben Kindel does this year, 'cause he was a pleasant surprise for them.
Evan LobsingerHOST
71:38
Yeah, no Mantha, which regular season probably not good.
Evan LobsingerHOST
71:41
Playoffs, you're probably okay with losing him.
Steven EllisGUEST

Tanner Molendyk, I'm actually a big fan of his game, but there was just, I don't know if he's gonna be more than a third pairing defenseman and I wasn't necessarily rating guys like that super high.
Steven EllisGUEST
1:52
And, uh, so it was like, I think it was something like over 10 guys that made last year's list that didn't make it this year, but were still eligible, 'cause I had a bunch of guys like Benjamin Kindel, uh, Zebulon, Michael Misia, Ivan Demidov, Matthew Schaffer, guys like that, that went straight to the NHL and d- they obviously were no longer rookies.
Steven EllisGUEST
2:07
But, uh, or prospects I should say.
Steven EllisGUEST
2:09
But I think in this one it just, you know, it, it's a tough list to make.
Patrick DampHOST

And I know we spent a bit there to start the show on the injuries.
Patrick DampHOST
14:45
So obviously this little bit here is both a call to hope that Ben Kindel's okay and also an evaluation because the hype train behind Rust, Kindel, Kuzmenko through practices has been moving at lightning speed.
Patrick DampHOST
15:05
We're excited about it.
Patrick DampHOST
15:06
It looks like it's gonna work.
Hunter HodiesHOST
15:39
But it was still a nice step in the right direction after how comfortable they all looked together during three straight training camp practices.
Hunter HodiesHOST
15:47
And I even tweeted I was excited to see what those numbers were gonna look like by the end of the game.
Hunter HodiesHOST
15:52
And then of course I jinxed it because Ben Kindel got hurt, took a, like he took a puck off of the skate, like the foot ankle area, and then tried to test it as he was coming back out, said, "You know what? Not gonna do it." He's now day to day, of course, with an injury.
Hunter HodiesHOST
16:06
So I will say though, man, they were buzzing on the ice.
