So your trying to pick apart a hypothetical swap of 2 players on D ... and now your tearing down an entire team.. ive already stated what I thought might get Risto and Gost,. Maybe it was to one of the other posters I’ve answered to here.. im sorry if I overlooked you, and sorry that your not the center of my universe,. Especially now that your creating a complex compound problem that might require algebra.. from a hypothetical plus and minus calculation. i was told the Flyers were looking for a C2 and a 4D ... I say Tanev.. and one of Granlund, Baertschi, Sutter, or regrettably the possibility Gaudette , who played Center in College... anyway, it sounds like Philly May have solved their situation. We or, I, don’t know what Buffalo would want for Risto , but I think his contract expires in 22.. and his cap hit is just over 5m per.. Maybe we get Edler to sign with no clauses,. trade for Risto , and add our 1st pick in 2021. Its all hypothetics,. Don’t kill yourself over this or anything,. Maybe you have some thoughts on trying to make it work, dream a little, have some fun.. your not offering much.

Risto Ghost Schenn .. all Vets.. the league is getting younger.. there is talent on the way that will push a 32 year old hockey player into extinction if he can’t play like he is 25-27. A lot of this new talent does no t need a mentor.. let me go wild for a sec.. MacDavid, Marner, Mathews, Kruug, McEvoy, Barsal.. its a list that is growing all the time.. 1 - 4 mentors on a team.. Edler is no mentor.. nor Tanev. Schenn has that quality.. Biegga oozes ethic.

No , try this,. You figure it out.. if im whining, your an overprotective mother . everything I’ve posted is hypothetical, I’ve stated that already.. dare we dream a little? Ghost Tryamkin Hughes Schenn Risto Joulevi Biegga Sautner Brisebois Hutton. .. I know your 2 favourites aren’t here,. But there is always Kleenex.

Those names were not meant to be particular pairings,. As I stated I wasn’t paying attention to LH or Rh set ups.. and again all Hypothetics.. so with the names I had, how about this Old News, no particular 1-2-3.. Ghost Tryamkin Hughes Schenn Risto Joulevi Biegga Sautner Brisebois Hutton im getting low on pop.

Playing 50 odd games is shelter.. or being 6’3 215 ? Schenn played fantastic beside Hughes in the last part of the season, 6’2. 225.. backed away from nothing.. great footspeed, always engaged.. leading by example type of play. Edler has a way of wandering off.. like he’s out moonlighting delivering Sbisa’s Pizza.. anyone want a pop?

And what we HAVE is not ventilated already.? Our top 2 D men play half seasons.. the core lost all symmetry over the past 2 seasons mostly because of that fact . I think Schenn is going to be the D man he was touted to be when he was drafted.. and paired well with Hughes. .. if Brisboise has had a good Summer, he might beat out Hutton.. regardless, if Hutton does not perform by Christmas I think his days here end. I think there is more potential in what we have, excluding Tanev and Edler. Our potential D, need symmetry, regular partners, that’s when growth happens. E & T have, and will continue to leave gaps on Defence that do not help the D core at the time we are at in this rebuild. We need D men that we can get 70 and up regular season games. Keeping Edler and Tanev is like watching broken bones turn to dust.. they are taking up valuable time of others potential.. the potential of what we have is greater than them both playing half seasons.. the potential, of what we have, need more. sorry guys, I feel we have to move on from both of those players, to me it’s like watch Desjardins playing Eriksson and the Sedins on the 1st pp for 2 seasons... another mid nite Re-run. To get on Course,. Sometimes Change has to be coarse.

No. The present age, stats, and reliability of Ghost and Ristlianen speak differently.. to lose Tanev and Edler .. and be able to get Ghost and Risto is an instant upgrade. Canuck fans generally get lolligagged with “Fan Favs” and get lost in mediocrity. How to get them? It depends on the other teams needs directly.. but at this point in our rebuild I’d wouldn’t cringe at using our next 2 seasons first round picks to get them.. I hope this team performs so well that we never see a lottery again, unless we have traded something substantial for it.. and for good reason.

But I think that is what they are trying to do.. find the 2 better D men.. and then move, or keep Edler and Tanev. I think the emphasis is to have that flexibility with the “old guard”. Hypothetically let’s say we land Ghostbehere and Ristolianen.. to have that moveable flexibility with a Tanev and Edler is paramount. Tanev and Edler are a 2nd / 3rd pairing D anywhere else,. and their health/ injury status has not helped this club. not thinking LH or RH set ups.. but imagine.. I don’t think we are too far off. Ghostobehere Stetcher Schenn Hughes Ristolianen Joulevi Tryamkin, Hutton, Biegga, Sautner Brisboise.

I don’t like Gardiner, Myers with a grain of salt.. UFAs might not be the way, trade might have to work.. I like the idea that they were talking about Ghostbehere the other day, and Ristolinen as well. Zaitsev is an interesting topic.. might just need a Coach like Green. Personally I’d be ok if we had Edler in a NM for this season, but ability to expose in the Extorsion draft, and tradeable after that, 3 years 6.5 m- 6m - 5.5. Tanev can go. Hutton needs to be huge or he is gone before Christmas. Dont forget we played without Edler or Tanev a lot last season.

Dream job.. In the most practical, hands on, live form.. Im fully licensed to create the malicious carnage and destruction of people, places and things in various forms and styles.. blood is just a colour, I step in it a lot. I can make it snow in the summer, rain in a desert, and freeze an 80 degree Fahrenheit body of water.. all in the name of art and entertainment. Ever had a dream job?.. treated fairly and been thankful for it? .. Ever shown gratitude for being in that position and that it was not some one else? Ever pay it back a little to get more?
