Honestly put him on Pettersson’s LW and watch him fill the net. I don’t want to argue with you but we’re already a small team - do we want another smurf?

cyoung Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 If seider is their guy I wouldn't mind dropping 2-4 spots and adding a 4th rounder. Its a tough one. Im still hoping to get a winger like boldy, caulfield, newhook or Krebs but there are so many great players that will be available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think the teams who drafted before the 39th pick are regretting not taking DeBrincat? Caufield is as pure of a goal scorer as they get and we need more of those than we need more big guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, Caufield uses his body in the corners as a 5'7 17 year old better and more efficiently than guys like Sutter, Goldy, Gudbranson, etc. ever have.

We should be playoff competitive next year if only for the reason our defence will be totally different and of higher quality. Just getting rid of Guddy and POuliot is huge. Need some guys to step up/ recreate themselves. Goldy, Pearson, Baertschi, Leivo, Spooner, Virtanen and Gaudette are all question marks with regards to how much they will produce or even if they'll be here. My guess for the start of next season involves waiving Granlund, Eriksson, Spooner, Schaller and Biega will be waived. Goldy-Pettersson-Boeser Baertschi-Horvat-Pearson Leivo-Gaudette-Virtanen Roussel-Beagle-Sutter Motte Edler-Stecher Hughes-Tanev Hutton-Schenn Sautner Really hoping Goldy has a solid start to the year. Even if to just increase his trade value. Kids got the skills and just needs to come in ready to compete God I hope that is not our line up to start 2019.....ugh. Hopefully goldy is done here. Need some actual top 6 forwards other than Petey, Brock, and Bo. Maybe Pearson can step up. If you are gonna put Sutter on the 4th line may as well trade him, I hope Tanev gets traded. We need a much bigger shake up on D than just adding Hughes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caufield is not a fit. Look I liked Cliff Ronning but he got knocked around a lot especially in the playoffs. That lessened his effectiveness. Johnny hockey has not looked effective in his playoff auditions. Caufield is a nice kid good hands, nifty but not a fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a much bigger shake up on D than just adding Hughes. I like keeping Sutter just as a defensive specialist that adds much needed centre depth. I think Goldy still has a real chance of taking a top 6 spot next season, kid has skills. Not opposed to adding a top 6 winger in free agency, but we need to keep cap space for our upcoming free agents. Plus there aren't many that have the skills of Goldy in free agency that wont cost you a pretty penny. Pearson looked like a top 6 in his time here. Boeser is a top 6. Leivo showed some middle-top 6 qualities. Baertschi if healthy is also a middle-top 6 player. Virtanen is a middle 6. Im happy to add another top 6 winger in free agency, but it needs to be affordable. One of Dzingel, Connoly and Nelson would be the guys Id look at adding.

I have seen comments that the last year is an option that the owners must accept for it to kick in. It is hard to find contract info for management. That is why there is talk about him being in his last year . I honestly would be just as happy if they gave him five more years . It would show that they want the rebuild done the right way. I don't like some of the things Jim has done but the big picture looks fine. It would give him a couple of more years to focus on drafting and adding depth.

If that happens, I won’t be going to a single game, or getting sportsnet now again. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krebs over any dman available at 10. As you said, London was a fairly stacked team in Thomas' draft year. That lead to him not being used as much or relied on nearly as much as Krebs was on his horrible team. If they switched positions Krebs would not have had as many opportunities or minutes and Thomas would've had free reign to create offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I have this odd feeling Podkolzin will drop significantly because his lack of offensive production, but once he makes it into the NHL, he is going to make lots of teams look silly for not taking him sooner. Kind of seems similar is play style and situation as Filip Forsberg, where Forsberg was touted as a top 5 pick, slipped due to his lack of offensive production, and lights it up in the NHL. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's plenty of rumours out there re shipping him out to fill other needs since they have Dahlin and Montour to fill an offensive role and Risto has always been viewed as mediocre in his own end at best (which is largely true). They needs top 6 forwards (so do we) and a goalie. Bogosian is UFA next year. I have heard they will move on from him when his pact expires. Trading Ristolainen would leave them just Montour as a RHD. Believe what you will... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
