  1. Suter is more of a winger than a C tbh like E.Rod wouldn’t want him taking faceoffs in crucial moments of a game.
  2. While I agree with most of your points here. The prospects drafted in the mid first round based on historical data have about a 50-60% chance of playing over 100 games. The chances of them being a high end player is even lower. Hronek is a proven top 4 already at 25 with room to grow still. He is absolutely a slam dunk imo.
  3. Imagine if the Avalanche had gone through a rebuild like many Canuck fans are asking for and sold Mackinnon Landeskog and Rantanen instead of building around them. They won the cup because they surrounded their core with solid players through trades. ROR, Duchene and acquired solid pieces like Toews Manson Kadri etc.
  4. New York Rangers. 1994 and the fact that everyone and their mom wants to play for them. I don’t get the appeal.
  5. That would be fun with EP40 D Petey and M Petey all on the ice at the same time.
  6. Amazing how in this trade we’re acquiring all those assets none of which will improve our defense which is 3rd worst in the league. Instead we create an even greater surplus of top 6 forwards which we don’t need.
  7. A late first that’s likely to bust. I get why you’d be happy to do it. But I’m not ok with trading a ppg dman in his prime for a few lottery tickets. The young players we will be receiving likely won’t come near Hughes upside. Also on a team that’s worst in the league at zone breakouts it just doesn’t make any sense to trade our only dman who can effectively exit the zone. Our offense will suffer greatly. Even if we were to tear it down and rebuild you’d rebuild around Hughes and Petey, not trade him and get a bunch of lesser assets thus extending the rebuild.
  8. We don’t even know he will be a 1D in the NHL. But sure let’s trade our proven elite puck moving 1D for a guy who might become one. Ridiculous how overhyped prospects are on here.
  9. I agree with everything you said here. Except we’ve all seen what Petey can do in the playoffs. Minny St Louis and VGK were no slouches physically. They even targeted him and he was still able to put up better than a ppg. He didn’t look like he was intimidated nor did it affect his game.
  10. Don't forget the playoff pump up. I felt that from my living room. Look at Stech he's lovin it
  11. No he isn't It's more of a 1A 1B 1C scenario, that's the kind of depth that wins cups
  12. Exactly, hard not to be excited about this team. We may not have a Crosby but keep an eye on EP this year, the way he ripped up the league in the last half is a sign of things to come. I'm fully expecting a breakout season where he hits 90+ pts. PATRIC HORNQVIST- SIDNEY CROSBY - CONOR SHEARY CHRIS KUNITZ - EVGENI MALKIN - BRYAN RUST NICK BONINO - CARL HAGELIN - PHIL KESSEL MATT CULLEN - ERIC FEHR - TOM KUHNHACKL This was Pittsburgh's lines for their cup run in 2016 VS TANNER PEARSON- JT MILLER - BROCK BOESER CONOR GARLAND - ELIAS PETTERSSON - VASILY PODKOLZIN KUZMENKO - BO HORVAT - ILYA MIKHEYEV HOGLANDER - LAZAR - DICKINSON Our forwards stack up vs the best in the league. Goaltending is elite, this is going to be a fun team to watch.
  13. 100% This is the Pittsburgh Model, stacked up front, weak defense with one elite puck moving D and solid goaltending.
  14. Pass, Hoglander will at least be an NHL player. Lundkvist has great offensive tools but can't defend and has been passed by Zac Jones a 3rd round pick who's a year younger than him.
  15. Either way the Rangers reported offer was an absolute joke. PA should've hung up the phone and thrown it into a river.
  16. 1. Remove the shootout ( its like having a fastest skater competition to decide a team game its stupid) 2. Get rid of game management, penalties should be called regardless of who's leading or who's got more PP opportunities. There's a reason why a team is drawing more penalties. 3. Get rid of the instigator penalty. 4. When a goalie loses his mask the play needs to be blown dead immediately. There’s a huge risk of serious injury with the current rules.
  17. We look pretty mediocre down the middle after Petey and Bo. Dickinson supposedly a shut down centre needed Horvat to take over shut down duties earlier in the season. Would feel more comfortable with an Aston-Reese in his spot. The D pretty much looks the same and for a team that struggled with zone exits outside Hughes it doesn’t bode well. That said, I do think we can sneak in with that roster depending on the impact of Kuzmenko and our young guns taking steps forward.
  18. Love this trade, If we can somehow pry Jeannot from them that would be the cherry on top. Probably should be careful who you call a project though before G.I. Joe comes and tells you who you can or can't call a project.
  19. Minnesota may not even make the playoffs next year they just gutted their offense. Kaprizov is their only real threat.
  20. Oh man that’s great! Tell me more! My opinion of who’s a prospect or who’s a project isn’t your business. Also you sure you can afford a tank of gas grandpa? Maybe relax before you get a heart attack.
  21. That’s rich coming from someone who brags about doing 20 plus years. Good job you want a cookie? When a prospect is already 23 and has a career high that matches his age and is still healthy scratched is that not a project?
  22. Absolutely, I like his shot playmaking and mobility but I’m not sure he can defend at all or even be an nhl regular.
  23. They’re still projects and have lots of development left to even be long term nhl players. They’re certainly not blue chip prospects not even close. Chytil while he was hot in the playoffs is wildly inconsistent and we’ve seen hot spurts like that before. He’s a project. Lundkvist still needs a lot of development he’s got some decent tools but is still a project at this point and he’s fallen off the depth chart behind 3rd round pick Zac Jones. this is not even close to a proper offer for Miller.
  24. Oh really? Not a project? Lundkvist is behind Zac Jones on the Rangers depth chart and can't even crack the bottom pair. If you watch him play at all he's terrible. If he's not a project what is he? Chytil likely doesn't even become a top 6 forward and before the little hot streak in the playoffs had shown absolutely nothing. Also, why don't you check how many low first rounders make the NHL. You need to stop overrating prospects. You're basically getting a third line C an AHL dman and likely another bust.
