Stralman or Kindl

[FlyersJoe]

Who will make the quickest impact? Both are free agents in my league and I could use a defensemen on my farm, but I don\'t want to waste a spot.

[Sin Bin]

I like Kindl.

[mrbugg]

Stralman. He\'s already getting the ice time, and Kindl has been disappointing this season to be kind.

[Crazynuck]

Bugg is Kindl the real deal or more of a boom/bust?

For immediate impact go with Stralman... Kindl needs to wait for Lidstrom and Chelios to retire (might have to wait awhile)

[FlyersJoe]

I had Kindl previously on my farm, but soured on him after the first quarter. Around December, I read from several sources he was having struggles and one in particular speculated Kindl felt he was NHL ready and felt demoted. I\'m wondering if he has turned any of that around.
Toronto scares me as a team. They don\'t ever seem to make the right moves. A young D can get lost or screwed up in an environment like that. Let me know if I\'m way off here.

let\'s not forget that Kindl just turned 21, and he\'s in his first year out of junior

[gagnerific]

isnt it his second year of junior? and guys you\'re forgetting the magnificent tomas kaberle, the only leafs dmen that\'s turned out just fine haha, despite Quinn giving him limited time when he was ready to break out

[slopoke]

looks like first year out of junior, becasue he played 54 games with the Kitchener Rangers in 06/07. He may have spent some time in the AHL after his junior season ended last year but ...

I could be wrong.

[jeff88_5]

Ericsson is in front of Klndl in the Wings depth chart...

Stralman for me

[ultrawhiteness]

kindl will be given lots of time to develop... the wings do not rush prospects, expecially defensive ones. kronwall anybody? for now just ignore him and wait until he\'s 24-25

[FlyersJoe]

Thanks. I think I will hold off on Kindl for now. I took a chance on Lee; his callup could be a good sign in \'09, don\'t be bitin\' my rhyme. I\'m watching Stralman and will watch the Leafs offseason.
