elvis15 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 At the center position on the second line until Kesler returns. After that? Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonberries Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 So you're saying he's a guaranteed improvement over Schroeder? The player we've drafted and developed and currently have in our lineup already? The player who had 19 points in 30 games with the Wolves where Loktionov had only 3 points more in 7 more games with the Monarchs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allkill326 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 A 3rd or a 4th pick would have been great. Good luck, Locomotive, Loktionov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WonderTwinPowers Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Not being serious but hypothetically... To Vancouver: Taylor Hall, Adam Henrique To New Jersey: Cory Schneider, Mason Raymond To Edmonton: Adam Larsson, Van 2013 1st Value might be a tad off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marleau_12 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Cue the Henrique package for Luongo in the off season, if Loktionov works with Kovalchuk. He's Russian so it'll work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Yep, you read me correctly. I'm saying that Loktionov is a significant upgrade over Schroeder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonberries Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Thanks for their stats pages, but I'm already aware of them. You'll have to do a little more explaining to why you think Loktionov would be a clear upgrade over Schroeder though. Schroeder's career NHL PPG: 0.286 Loktionov's career NHL PPG: 0.237 Small sample size for Schroeder sure, but to think someone from your own organization that you've drafted and developed doesn't deserve the chance to fill in for injuries over an underachieving player from another team who asked to be traded is poor asset management.

elvis15 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Not if you think the other player is better than yours. I find Schroeder's combination of diminutive size and low AHL scoring stats problematic, though I have been pleasantly surprised by his play with the Canucks so far. I think the Canucks drafted him with offense in mind. By the way, I don't think that Gillis could have acquired Loktionov at a reasonable cost anyway, so to me at least this is all moot.

thad Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I dunno, pretty good deal but I wouldn't rate him ahead of Schroeder, he has done nothing to suggest he is better. They have both had about the same success growing up except Schroeder was so good in the wjc that he seemed like a steal that slid down the draft to us. Now that JS is showing his size isn't really an issue in the NHL, I would rather go forward with him and hope he can turn into the offensive star he was for team USA.
