[Proposal] Shift from offence to defence
RWJC replied to DownUndaCanuck's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Could you imagine signing Zadorov and luring back Tryamkin for your potential 5/6 D pairing...? Beautiful, haha. -
[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
RWJC replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Miller + Boner for Lafreniere + Schneider If I'm the Nux I assume a lot of risk. But this is likely what a deal could cost us if we got a bargain from NYR. They have the wealth of youth options we're coveting and are likely best team to deal with. Whatever the case if JT does indeed go there I hope his return alone can stabilize this team for years because he is a leader and will be very hard to replace. -

Who gives a $hit! if it happens, it happens. we’re all fans of a business and call it “our team”. Should occasionally remind ourselves that and try not to speculate on it in a personal level either way, imho. There’s no mystery to solve. whether he wants to be here or not, he is a commodity. As our player, and as an asset. -
We need a dominant Defenseman (Discussion)

Agreed except for the “fragile - handle with care” sticker that he came with. -

Dude’s been eating some bad cat meat for a while now…messed him up altogether -

Could also be that Miller thrives when he’s more depended upon. Wasn’t the case with previous teams. Likely won’t perform at the same clip elsewhere unless given top line minutes, methinks -

And quiet pressure from NHL execs to move him specifically to LA to help build the hockey market in Cali. No one is “untouchable”, for whatever reason, imho, hah -
[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
RWJC replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
Thanks! To me the logic behind it is that at base you only have 6 D spots, whereas F has 12. To me that makes the back end farrrr more valuable and important to build off of, especially when those 6 share the brunt of it versus 12 others when it comes to ice time breakdown, usage and reliability/dependency. To have come this far without having built a solid top 4 D already is somewhat ludicrous given the demand on that position. Now, it’s owed to Demko and QH to support this area as first priority. -

One word: Gretzky nothing else requires any explanation, imho. -

Hah no thanks. I could see Garland + in a package with a couple guys like Severson (or a younger D man) and Miles Wood (if he would be ok with playing in Canada and the West) coming back though. -

Funny, I had a dream last night that Garland, Rathbone and a 1st was sent to NJ for Jack Hughes. yeah I know, NJD would never accept that. Truthfully tho, a Jack Hughes isn’t what we would need anyway. -

And only caveat to that…does Miller want to stay? I don’t think we can even risk that anymore and unfortunately he has to be traded because if this team can’t perform up to his expectation level (whether it be as a playoff contender or just a blood and guts identity) then he will become a malcontent. Better to maximize off his value, sadly. -

RWJC replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I don’t think we’re a contender yet. Not even close. Otherwise we’d be looking to add for a playoff run, not potentially sell off. There wouldn’t be any discussion of it at all. -
[Rumour] J.T. Miller Trade/Contract Talks
RWJC replied to Podzilla's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I hear ya, but truth is we only need a superstar player for EP if they can fill two roles: 1) replace EP’s production/playmaking 2) also fill a captaincy/leadership role. They have to be an innate team leader. we aren’t going to find that in another player who is disengaged/disenfranchised with their current situation. EP serves as a great merchandising/marketing tool and a face for the franchise. He’s also a pretty damn good hockey player. But he hasn’t proven to be captain material yet, he’s potentially a little fragile, and the expectation for him to lead this team is HUGE. I don’t trust one player to determine the fortunes of this franchise. Again, I love him, but I just don’t think he’s the long term answer here. -

True, but he has also stated he wants size up front, which is the only reason why I think we hear about Garland from the pundits. I always look at what is said that underlies PR, and I could be wrong but I’ve heard GMJR reference “the future” many times now that it would not surprise me if he sees Hoglander as expendable given whom has emerged in that role as well as requiring a roster spot in the future for Podz. -

Regarding EP and our F as a whole, I may be in the minority here but I would rather have 2 young 20+ goal, 50-60+ point scoring Fs in our top 9 at the same combined cap hit as EP, than EP. we require the luxury of spreading the scoring out and having accountable diversity and option amongst our lines, rather than hoping and praying that our elite level talent shows up and resting on those laurels it get us into the playoffs. It’s just not perpetually realistic. -

And hopefully this doesn’t turn Hoglander into a casualty…
