Well that'd be a dumb move considering his numbers put him ahead of Boqvist and Bouchard while Dobson is a scratch in the NHL more often than not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His angry little heart wouldn’t have been able to handle the joy of seeing Hughes, whether he’s 5’8” or 5’10”, excelling in the NHL. 37 minutes ago, Alflives said: You, my friend, are a good Troll pounder.

That doesn't make him a PPQB or even a PMD though. He's a minute munching, 2 way, #2D with some physicality. I'll take that on my team any day. Too many people have been in a hurry to throw out the baby with the bath water because he's never been a #1D or PPQB/PMD. Tossing aside perfectly good players just because you lack other better or complimentary ones, is just plain stupid. I think you're both right...and wrong...when it comes to Edler. Fact is that he's had some up year and some down years. From around 2009 to 2013 he was a pretty legit top pairing defenseman, but from 2013 to 2017 he had some pretty poor years where I wouldn't have considered him any more than a 2nd pairing guy. He seemed to start finding his game again during the 2017-2018 season and has, in my mind, been a legit top pairing guy since the start of the 2018 season onward. I would kill for a younger prime-level Edler that could play the right side to round out our D core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how the guy responsible for playing near half the game against the league's best night in and out took a 'down turn' during the teams worst years but has 'miraculously recovered' as the team has improved around him again... Edler has never been 'the problem'. Edited November 1, 2019 by aGENT 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edler has never been 'the problem'. Sure, the team around him was a big factor, but I'm not willing to fully attribute Edler's downsing and recent upswing to that. While certainly better than the season before it or the 2 seasons following, I wouldn't exactly call Edler's 2014-15 season (when we did make the playoffs) world-beating. Add to that the fact that Edler's game took a noticeable upswing during the 2017-2018 season (a year in which we finished last in our division with 73 points), and the timing doesn't exactly synch up.

For someone who is old, you dont read very well do you ? I called him useless on the PP ! I then backed it up with how much better our PP has been with Hughes ever since he replaced Edler on the number 1 unit.

If you want to throw a tantrum and insults, atleast argue the actual topic which was Edler on the PP Edler typically scores 15 - 20 power play points per year. That is far from "useless on the PP". It is true that our PP is much better with Hughes. That is because Hughes is an elite offensive Dman, not because Eddie is useless. There is a huge range in between useless and elite, despite your purported belief that this difference in our power play "backs up" your position that Eddie is useless on the PP. Things are not as black and white as you choose to believe. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger-Hearted Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 With 3 assists on Wednesday night, Hughes now needs 33 more to tie Dale Tallon(42), '71 and 56 more points to tie Elias Pettersson(66), '19. He's looking great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was just turning around and looked like he bent his ankle funny. If I were to guess, I'd say it's probably at worst a sprained ankle and will keep him out a week or two at most. Probably 3 or 4 missed games is my guess. Course I could be wrong, but that's just what I think based on what I saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhdlois Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) They kept him out of the rest of the game as a precautionary measure. Coach said they aren’t ruling him out vs San Jose. Will see how he is feeling on Sat. Edited November 2, 2019 by redhdlois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
