Smashian Kassian Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 and why is that? that his time is running out? because he's the stud you think he is lol... even in the tsn review of team needs, Toronto's biggest needs = Goalie and Center...and yet....wait for it...Kadri can't fill that hole..

Squeak Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Follow the projection: the 07/08 Blackhawks just barely missed the playoffs, so I'm expecting the Oil to just barely miss this year (if Kesler's injury doesn't play a major factor - ie, we acquire Weiss to fill the hole, Schroeder shocks the hockey world, etc). The '08/'09 'Hawks made it to the conference finals, I'm thinking the Oil can get their next year in '13/'14. The '09/'10 'Hawks won the Cup and they '14/'15 could be just as dominant, imo.

WHL rocks Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 RNH/Eberle are not as good as Toews/Kane. Until RNH gets a 20 game point streak in the playoffs, come talk to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millerdraft Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Keith is a Norris winner, Stanely Cup winner, Gold medal winner. Schultz has played ZERO games in the NHL. It's comical really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Keith was 26.5 when he accomplished that feat. Let's revisit this in 4 years when Schultz is 26. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squeak Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Well afcourse in 4 years. Thats what I was saying originally about the Oilers being good enough to win a Cup in few years, not this year or next. You are saying they are close and will win the division this year and The Stanley Cup next year. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Um, no. I disagree. He doesn't win more than half his puck battles and gets squeezed off the puck far more frequently than Ebbett, to name just two of the few weaknesses I have noticed in his game.

elvis15 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Well ofcourse in 4 years he could turn out to be a great player , perhaps win the Cup by then. That's what I was saying originally about the Oilers being good enough to win a Cup in few years, not this year or next.

Smashian Kassian Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Buyouts don't work like that. Compliance buyouts are payed out at 2/3 the salary value each year over the remaining years on the contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHL rocks Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Will is a strong word and I'd suggest could is more in line with what he was saying. Arguing over absolutes won't get anyone anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millerdraft Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Schroeder is stronger and better defensively, he has been better than Ebbett on the Wolves and I would rather give him that shot now that he has the opportunity rather than give Ebbett who I don't understand why everyone is in love with the guy all of the sudden. You can say JS is a bust all you want but you should give good reasons as to why, and your forgetting Schroeder hasn't gotten an opportunity yet even though AV admitted he has earned one and that Cody was the same age when everyone jumped on his bandwagon, and Schroeder IMO is a better, more complete player now than Cody was coming into camp last year.

BuretoMogilny Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 We I explained that, I said if they are going to continue to hold him down his value is going to drop. and so now Nazem Kadri is the answer to there need at center? but before you said he couldn't play in the NHL? How could he fill there center need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I'm not in love with the guy (Ebbett). I was just pointing out the obvious in what I've seen from Schroeder which Ferraro and Valk simply verified. I never said JS was/is/will be a bust. I actually said "If you think so poorly of Ebbett, and Valk and Ferraro say he'll beat out JS for a roster spot, either he's not ready for the NHL or he's a bust. I believe the former."
