Popular Post Zigmund.Palffy Posted July 31, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) after this FA yes I do, What GM JB and staff did this off season addressed our needs.. Michael Ferland - to protect Petey, and adds scoring to the top 6 Tyler Myers/Jordie Benn- Big upgrade on defence since forever. JT Miller- great acquistion to the Top 6 either on Peteys or Bo's line never been soo excited for upcoming season in a long time !

Guest Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 After amassing the depth in both roster players and high level prospects, I have complete faith in this franchise. I'm very excited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he will do (provided sacks of manure like Kelly Sutherland call it fair), is lay down some pain on the other team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benning said he wanted to improve the top six, he went out and got two top six forwards. Might have paid a bit much for one, but you gotta give to get. He said he was gonna change the defense, he went out and got Tyler Myers and Jordie Benn. Last season was enjoyable for the most part, but next season is gonna be even better. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Myers is proven to be much better than any of his previous acquisitions. You’d have to be quite dense to not see that. 1 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d have to be quite dense to not see that. Myers was getting hemmed into his own zone despite getting a solid amount of OZone starts and having Byfuglien and Trouba take the tougher minutes. I'm sure having Kulikov as a partner is partially a factor in this, but he's been slowly declining for years and isn't the player he was in Buffalo. He can probably manage with Hughes in a more sheltered role, but I see it as unlikely that he'll live up to the contract he's been given.

Popular Post TheRussianRocket1994 Posted July 31, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) 48 minutes ago, Tre Mac said: Nope To me, people like this will never be happy / confident in the job they’re (he’s) doing. Why, because it’s not about the job they’re doing, it’s because they don’t like the person that’s doing the job! Even if they did a great job, they’d still have issues with it / them. Everyone’s entitled to an opinion, but if people can’t give Jim credit now for the job he’s done this off season / the good job he’s done overall (eg. Drafting), then I don’t know when people will. Has he made mistakes, yes! So has every GM, including the best ones. It’s about the big picture and I’d say it’s looking the best it has in a very long time, maybe ever!!!

At 5v5 last season, Tyler Myers ranked in the bottom half for NHL Defencemen in CA/60, SCA/60, xGA/60, SA/60 and GA/60 -- again, while facing easier deployment due to Byfuglien and Trouba carrying the load.

And Myers stats over the last two seasons are 2017-18: 6-30-36, +9 in 82 games 2018-19: 9-22-31, +11 in 80 games Those are fine numbers. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BrockBoester Posted July 31, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2019 4 minutes ago, Patrick Jane said: Not talking about the young guys Free Agents signings have been pretty terrible. Yeah. Vrbata, Ryan Miller, Vanek, Roussel, Myers, Ferland and Benn are couple exceptions though. His bad signings include Eriksson for 6m and Gagner, Nilsson, Del Zotto, Beagle (too much money). I'd say he's above .500 as of today and I don't have a problem with that considering four of the "good" signings above will still be on the roster this year and only 1-2 of the "bad" ones will be on the roster (and again Beagle is great on the 4th line - we just paid too much for him). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
