Nuxfanabroad Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 I'm quite concerned if they do deal Jake, he'll report to the wrong camp by accident. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erkayloomeh Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Just now, rekker said: I was. I hope he gets it, but doubt he will. Something's wrong. He just seemed lost in the playoffs. But something is also right when a guy is on pace for 21 goals on the third line. A really hard player to gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m curious what Benning will do. I know this will sound nuts, but I’d explore trading Horvat while he’s cheap. Gaining possession by winning face offs is key, but he might bring in enough to complete the “rebuild” with more quality youth. Tough to replace him, yes. I understand all his benefits to the team, but it just might be a crazy sleek pre-expansion move too. It's interesting. Trade while value is high. Pete free to be new captain. Bo lacks a bit of greasiness that would make him untouchable for me. But I'm not sure about it. He is awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hurt him and it hurt the team. Principles more important than winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the handful of games he played burned a year off his contract it didn't count as a year pro. Some weird college rule. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's finally playing like a legit first rounder (when played). I would consider a top 8 pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I see in Jake is a guy who, when given the stage on the top 6 or even top 3, is capable of meeting the challenge and then some. Stick him on the 3rd or 4th line and you're gonna get a plugger.

I did notice the desperation move of putting him in the top 6 when we were in danger of elimination to St louis and how we immediately started the come back. Then he was dropped down again once victory was secured. But that's what I mean. He isn't in shape coming to camp so they punish him, the team and the fans. Old school. I'd punish him in ways not involving ice time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 Can't quote that^ or we run outa' cyber-space! I like seeing the work JB does with 1st rounders, & in this cap world they're nice to accumulate. All views are entitled, but if a #8 OA were dangled, I trust Van would jump all over that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
