I don't know. I really hope Hronek is the real deal. I'm sure @stawns is loving it. This could be good or bad ... I really wanted to make that pick and get a RD in the system ... I guess he's here now. Sure hope he gels with Hughes ... at least we have one capable D on the team now. He's a +8 .... WOW !!! I'm

Yup! Lol, too funny BC Hawk, the first words that came to mind ... hear hear ... hated the Dermott trade and still do. Frack, what an absolute waste ... hopefully we keep it this time. Or, like you said I believe using some picks and players to trade for a (real gud) RD would be a move I support. Then supplement that with more high draft picks to hopefully find a top 4 RD, and fill the 3rd RD with whatever else we can find/Bear/Schenn/cheap ufa, etc.

Oh yeah I agree overall on everything you say it's just that at some point I've seen just about all other teams have gotten to a point where they face the music and just acquire a lot of picks to restock their cupboards. It leads to having multiple options in order to build a successful team. I'm jealous of those teams because we always seem to find an excuse to shortcut that and go for it. Mostly to limited success. I find it's a major reason why we've been so uncompetitive in the last decade. I just hope we can actually acquire a base of young and up and coming players this go around. Then like you say it becomes a matter of using all avenues available, and being a little lucky.

[Rumour] Nikita Tryamkin eyeing NHL return

I hear ya. I tryamkin not to tryamkin but once in awhile the dark side takes over and I have to put in my two cents of just how much I despise this character. -
And I keep hearing how draft picks are over-rated and some would prefer players instead. Well of course they feel that way since we've never made a concerted effort to make it work properly. For me it's the natural flow of an organization. Once you hit the bottom sell off your assets for multiple picks over a short time frame. You should start seeing players emerge from those selections, more than usual, and you start adding them to your team. You add those players to guys like Petey, and Hughes and then you have a team with homegrown cheaper talent that you can add higher priced ufa's to, in order to complete the puzzle. As this happens you have secondary pieces still developing plus your own picks acquired along the way to sustain longevity of success.

So many weak ass gen z's or whatever they are now. My goodness, some well off 70 year old person was let go for not performing well on a job. A new applicant was hired. Someone had a baby and their spouse still has to go to work. Cry me a fricking river. lol my goodness what is this world coming too? Babies

lol, you just don't understand player value is all. Exactly what I've said he's worth all along. Good deal Allvin. This is what this team needs to be doing. Leave all the sentimentality BS at the doorstep and make the trades you're supposed to, like this one. The NHL is hard enough without working against yourself.

[Rumour] Nikita Tryamkin eyeing NHL return
Gawdzukes replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
No doubt, he'd last about 20 seconds with RT. I can only imagine how more out of shape he is now. No chance this guy has what it takes to play in the best league in the world after wasting how ever many years toiling away in the K. People are hilarious. He was brutal when he played here. Had a prime chance and bolted like mangy mutt with his tail between his legs. He can only be worse now. He would never be able to keep up, and he's lost all his developing years. He's also not supposed to show up like a lazy, non-committed, fat, waste of skin either ... but hey who cares let's dress a tall freak sideshow just for kicks. Look how great that's working for us right now. No you can definitely blame Tryamkin for not putting in the work or effort required, being completely undedicated to his craft, and not going to the minors in order to correct that. Massive pass on this tool. -

Haha, I'll need a couple. A shovel would help to to bury these rumors.
