Ilya Mikheyev Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 Yeah, I know it's only Ebbett, but throwing in picks and then the '+_________' on top of it? It's nice to hear about his stats previous years, but have you seen his stats this year? 6gp, 0pts, -1, 5 hits, 7:02min/gm, 41.7f/o% He's on the Leafs and is not doing well even when they are. Somethings up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossram Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 He doesn't though. He just doesn't always use his size effective, he's not always physical enough for his size. There is a reason he is struggling. If he was as physical as you think he wouldn't be a healthy scratch, especially with Carlyle as the coach who loves to be big, mean and phsyical. I just think there are better options honestly. He is good on faceoffs & has alot of size but not overly impressive anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 There are better options, but not necessarily cheaper or better value. Steckel would be cheap. And all we really need him to do to replace Manny is win faceoffs and then get off the ice. That's all Manny really did last/this season . We don't really need him to be fast/physical as long as he doesn't hurt the team defensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Of the Leafs games I have watched this year (keeping an eye on some goaltending around the league) I don't know if he was playing or not. I've watched at least parts of enough games that I should have seen something worthwhile from him if he had it. From what Leafs fans are saying, they'd love to dump him on someone, but that's hardly reason for us to pick him up. Granted, if they wanted to swap him straight up for Ebbett, I'd look at it, but not for a heck of a lot more. From HFBoards: take him please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From HFBoards: They're either talking like that, or get rid of him for a lower pick, or they're being slightly more realistic and thinking it's a bad idea to get rid of any kind of centre depth (sensible at least) without an overpayment. Or there's this one: For all it's worth, he might get waived as players get healthy again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ice orca Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I would rather the Canucks go after Matt Hendricks from the Caps, perfect fit for the Canucks can play wing and center. Wonder what it would take to get him? Solves grit issue and can hit like a truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilya Mikheyev Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 We overpay. Reading this only confirms my earlier thoughts: http://hfboards.hock...=1#post59793099 Steckel really does nothing other than win faceoffs and isn't worth more than a 5th. I would offer Ebbett + 6th but nothing more honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Okay, well Ebbett + a 4th for Steckel + a 7th isn't a far cry from Ebbett + a 6th for Steckel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
