  1. Man I really like bridge, show me deals for the youngsters. We haven't seen the best of Brock and he has had those couple of injuries. Now we get to see if he can step up to the next level....and he'll get the big money if he does, and well deserved too if he brings it these next 3 years.
  2. Probably being ignorant but why should Brock get 7 mill/ year. I'm not on his back or anything like that before I get ripped a new one, but he's had 2 20 goal/ 50 point seasons with a couple of injuries. Perhaps Karlsson isn't the best comparison but he's on less than 6. Is there someone better to compare him to maybe?
  3. Big upgrade from last year! Let's hope that 8.7 mill we have left isn't all for Boeser . Good money for these two newbies too. With Edler coming off the books 21-22, looking good for those big money signings in Hughes and EP.
  4. I don't really get this cap dump argument. Personally I see a cap dump as one which is obvious to see from both sides, ie a Marleau or Eriksson. He's a 40-50 point player on a good contract for a few years and he's young enough that his stats shouldn't go through the floor. Maybe a first is too high a price or maybe not, we'll see, but this is not a cap dump type of trade.
  5. I tried to look this up but couldn't find it. Which position and line has he played in mostly? Basically what I'm asking if he plays 2nd line for us will he need to step up? Cheers
  6. I get you have to start giving up picks when you think the time is right to push us over the top, but a first seems a lot for his goal scoring record. I guess with all trades....time will tell.
  7. This is a genuine question before anyone rips me a new one. To me his goal scoring record doesn't stand out, this is not something to care about at all at his development level I guess? Do scouts pay attention to points at this stage?
  8. I only really see the highlights and obviously the stats but I read about the frustration about Jake so I would like to know what we want from him next year. Is it not necessarily about a step up in points but rather consistency and being a 'presence' on the ice in all shifts? I guess for some fans next year is make or break or are most fans understanding that this is the progression of a power foward and it will take longer than that?
  9. Actually he thinks (or thought) we could fight for a playoff spot with the current players without trading some big assets at the trade deadline. I would say that's called staying the course
  10. Thanks. It's hard to believe that a deal like this would happen without the knowledge of what the player wanted to do in the summer, by either the buyer or the seller. I think it must be almost impossible for this to happen to Edler.
  11. Maybe this isn't the right place for this but I've seen a lot of proposals suggesting we deal Edler and then resign him in the summer. To me this seems optimistic at best. Does anyone have examples of players who have been dealt at the trade deadline and then resigned with the selling team come the summer?
  12. It could be the last couple of steps will prove the most difficult for management. There will be a time to add the last couple of players to push this team to a real contender. Maybe that will be with Karlsson if he wants to come in the summer (looking at some other threads), or finding a bona fide number top pairing D or winger. The timing will be crucial.
  13. RE BB's weight gain. The guy must have been told to do it by management and surely they realised the risks involved. ie loss of pace, centre of gravity etc. He's probably a little tentative and getting used to his new frame. He didn't exactly have a solid pre-season of fitness right? Sure he's just behind by a few games before he gets up to speed
  14. Thanks for that. Are there examples of centres who never took faceoffs? Would this be something some coaches would consider for someone like Pettersson, an excellent rookie who might have a weakness at faceoffs but would otherwise make a great centre, or tell him to get on the wing and work on faceoffs?
