I didn't realize that, I thought he would go back to Frolunda if he didn't make the Sens.

Dung, the AHL is a way better league than the SEL. If he can do it there, he can do it here (don't break him please).

you won't have to work about him getting broken, not saying he will do any breaking either, but he will be play physical and play smart, that is good enough for me.

The AHL can be fairly vicious. I don't want him brained down there.

do we have any big bodies in the AHL to protect him if need be? I don't think it will be an issue still either way, I am sure he dealt with that bull$hit in the SEL to an extent.

:^^^^: I'm pretty sure he'll get hurt if he plays in the AHL (obviously in the NHL too), but he has to learn and get to know the bigger bodied guys. It's part of the learning curve for him. Hopefully when he does get hurt, it won't be too serious. They love to run each other over though, in the AHL, and the OHL, it seems to be a huge part of their game, to get noticed.

Yablonski and Bass will be given that job for sure. :BB:

Oh, and Smith too if he doesn't make it to the big club this year.

Fisher will probably be his poppa in the NHL. He's the ultimate protector along with Neil.

I read this off of Wikipedia and no one should be concerned over anyone that gets run with Bingo, Yabo will fustigate them.

Jeremy Yablonski fought in his first professional mixed martial arts competition on May 12 2007, at XFS (Extreme Fight Series) 5, knocking his opponent out in 19 seconds of the first round. Yablonski improved in XFS-6 on June 14 2007 by knocking his opponent out in 17 seconds of the first round.

Just saw this on the Sens website.

"The 19-year-old Karlsson has been taking the necessary steps in that
direction, arriving back in Ottawa two weeks ago. Since then, he's been
sharing ice with Senators veterans during some informal sessions at the
Bell Sensplex.

"He’s come in early on his own to do extra work and he’s worked with
(Senators strength and conditioning coach) Chris Schwarz and a lot of
other people," said Lee. "He’s doing all this extra work as in
investment to make sure that he can show the best possible at main camp
and rookie camp."

Since the day he was drafted as a 156-pounder, Karlsson's size has been
a much-discussed issue in terms of his potential arrival date in the
NHL. He's bulked up to 172 pounds since then and Lee said he's doing it
the right way.

"We've seen a significant increase in strength and significant increase
in weight," said Lee. "His mass is more effective. It’s more functional
strength. He’s been skating with our veterans and he’s having no
problem with guys handling coming down on him that are 220 pounds,
which is a real testament to his commitment.

"He’s gone to the thresholds which we have put out for him and
surpassed that. And it’s good strength. Sometimes, guys just get bigger
for the sake of getting bigger. He is functionally stronger, so he’s
more effective on the ice. He’s got the skill set that’s as good as
anybody’s. He just needs to get the body to support that.""

Maybe he doesn't need that much protection after all.

Yablonski is one mean mother effer.
