  1. With Baumer back - pretty much guarantees an Edler resigning and the same usage. Top 10 spot in the draft next year - hope Shaw can bring in another perspective. Anyone, know what are Jason Kings responsibilities ?
  2. I was looking at the difference awhile back as well - I guess, with the high cost to join the rules were changed; and they probably learned from the past/other leagues that it doesn’t benefit the league as whole when an expansion team is struggling from the start.
  3. This will be up to Edler and ultimately the coach. Time to move from him - imo
  4. I get it, mostly just pointing out that it takes time and opportunities to get to where he is at and looking at his yearly records after those initial years has been above 500 (for the most part) - gradual yearly improvements was perhaps why he was given those chances ?
  5. Yeah; good chance they resigned him for (the very important) nostalgic and great intangibles reasons - hope JB doesn’t overpay.
  6. Yeah, the playoff chase (playing the vets) gamble didn’t work out this year and it still left a lot of unanswered questions regarding these rookies for next years rosters. Good chance, Raff moves.
  7. Yeah and he earned it but there were some bad years in between or mostly at the beginning of his career with mostly above 500 afterwards (if you look at his coaching record). Although, his overall winning percentage is 53%, taught it would be higher but for the most part he has shown improvements every year and has been money with Washington & there roster.
  8. Vegas seems to have the same edge in the goaltending department; and biggest reason why the Habs are in the next round. Fleury has the championship pedigree and hopefully Seattle will overlook this one bad year with Holtby and take him cause off his resume.
  9. I would add coaching (as more important) cause it is there job to put it all together on & off the ice - no point trading or signing players if that player is not fit in the system - Schmidt or Tanev (seems to had a good year with the Flakes system)
  10. Ditto, it ultimately comes down - if the coach will be willing to give the player a legit chance
  11. These type of players should be drafted and developed by the same team cause the acquisition cost is too much otherwise.
  12. Trying to avoid an overreaction/missing my point issue cause I want to enjoy this day - you know who you are; perhaps Alain was trying to fit him in a role, he is not keen on playing before he will trust him with minutes - sound like the JV & Green saga to me ????
  13. It would be interesting if Patrick ended up with the Av’s - two teams that has a history of trading top picks between each other: Lindros Trade.
  14. Yeah; but it will come down to the coach (ultimately) - if is he willing to trust the player with ice time.
  15. Yeah, hope he earns that spot in training camp like an unkown Tanev (without the draft pedigree).
  16. Yeah, he has the size and IQ to play but Green is the speed bump - imo.
  17. Yeah, Green will be the X factor in his development with the Canucks - hopefully the new assistants will be able to help him get his ice time.
  18. Imo, the only thing Patrick has going for him is his draft pedigree and to a certain degree, the same can be said for OJ but OJ is still an unknown commodity with the potential to be a top 4 D. Would rather see if he can develope before trading him cause trading or signing for a top 4 D can be very expensive.
  19. I get it, but in the right system and paired with the right partner he can still be very effective; hopefully the rumour of new (veteran) assistants will be able to help him improve this flaw but he does have the IQ to play in the league. I did noticed this flaw but he did a lot of things well as well - overall if given a legit chance like Chatfield, good chance he sticks.
  20. It will be up to Green, if he gives OJ the chance to increase that value - hopefully OJ does an EP and earns his spot from training camp & doesn’t even give Green the chance to sit him.
  21. Good take - there timing has also been impeccable and the Zebras did give them some breaks - Anderson OT breakaway that was set up by a pick.
