  1. This guy should be in the NHL right now. He's miles ahead of Virtanen. Gadjovich is everything Virtanen was supposed to be. Our future Todd Bertuzzi. Get him on a plane and in the lineup tomorrow so he can beat up on the Leaves. Play him with BO and Pearson.
  2. Yes it is a wrist issue. Petey will be back for the playoffs though.
  3. I think I'd rather keep Miller on the wing. It's good to have him there as he could be a backup centre if someone gets injured, just like he is doing right now. Same with Kole Lind. I'd rather bring him up as a 3RW and try and get a 4C through free agency. Makes more sense to have 4 legit centres on the team while having a couple guys on the wing who can easily convert to centre in case of injury. If you play Miller and Lind at centre permanently with a bunch of wingers then what happens when an injury occurs to BO or Petey? We need to use someone like Motte and package him with Virtanen to get a 3C. Highmore plays a similar game to Motte and Motte is a UFA next summer and will want a $2 million+ contract. I think Virtanen/Motte can get us a decent 3C. Not sure who is available. Also, I would use Nate Schmidt as bait to get a 3C. With Tryamkin, Juolevi and Rathbone coming up Schmidt could be the odd man out and be trade bait. At this point I'd rather keep Myers than Schmidt as Myers plays a more well rounded game, can hit, fight, play the PK, PP and also play 3 on 3.
  4. The team who gets the best player in the trade usually wins the trade. In this case New Jersey wins the trade hands down. You inly trade Hughes if you get equal value back, like a Rasmus Dahlin. You don't trade him for several players or picks of which all are inferior. Benning can get a 3C somewhere else, he doesn't have to trade his franchise defenseman to get him. The first round pick is nice but we already will have a good pick this year unless we somehow manage to make the playoffs.
  5. Zadorov Tryamkin would be the scariest defensive partnership in the NHL. Whichever side the forward chooses he's going to end up in the training room, or worse...
  6. They have an AHL goalie, an AHL defence and their 4th line used to play with Gordie Howe. But somehow people on the east coast think they are a Stanley Cup contender.
  7. So maybe we should get Podkolzin over here for the playoffs. Get him signed Mr. Benning. He doesn’t need to play in the World Championships. We need him to help us win a Stanley Cup.
  8. The plural of Leaf is Leaves. The fact that they call themselves the Leafs is the reason they haven’t won a Cup since the 1800’s.
  9. I guess Benning knows what he’s doing after all... #PearsonForever
  10. There were people here who posted the media's fake story that Quinn Hughes was taking IV's. I wonder how those people feel now?
  11. Their average age is 75 years old. I don’t think they will go that route really...
  12. Playoffs may be a stretch but there are some players who look like they are not affected too much from COVID. Miller, Holtby and Myers were beasts tonight. The good news is we do have some players who weren't infected that will be in the lineup soon, Bowey, Highmore, Lind, who are upgrades to guys like Michaelis, Graovac and Chatfield.
