JeremyCuddles Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 MacEwen has officially become the most overrated player on this board. Somehow we have trouble deciding if we'd rather see a legit, proven complimentary top 6 forward or an AHLer. Y'all never cease to amaze me. Something tells me these two are not and never were in competition with each other for a spot. Guy had 4 hits, in 4 games, with 7 minutes of ice time and still managed to be a -4. If it is between the two, easily Ferland. But realistically MacEwen will be battling for a depth/bottom 6 spot anyway so we could potentially see both if he proves he even belongs in the NHL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook007 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Plenty of opportunities over the course for McE to get his chance... Ferland is a definite roster player... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beni Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 McEwen has only played a few games, he's far from a lock at the NHL level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Well one has played on teams top lines with the likes of Gaudreau and Monahan. The other has played four games and will be nowhere near a teams top line. Do we really need to make this comparison? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButterBean Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Right now with our logjam of forwards Mac is an injury call-up/4th liner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Ferland for sure. A proven playmaker when put with skilled linemates. McEwen will get his chance when injuries kick in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingofsurrey Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Really don't care if the club makes the playoffs this year. Want to see the new young core take another positive step in the development cycle. WANT to see the young CORE PROTECTED properly for a change this year. NO MORE teams running our young prospects..... THIS YEAR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) Who would you rather have? Tyler Myers or Jet Woo? Oh, it's a dumb question? Yes, yes it is. Turns out there are dumb questions after all. Edited July 12, 2019 by oldnews 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 It's quite difficult to get players like this - toughness that can play in your top six. When you get that opportunity - at no assets cost and a mere 3.5 milion cap hit - you jump on that opportunity, period. You can't forego signings like this because you're earmarked an AHL prospect to potentially become that in the future. The question hinges on poor logic - it's not an either/or question, the answer is both/and. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
