  1. One thing that really sticks in my head. Is when st louis lost the series. Ray ferraro mentioned how most teams try to build one full of two way complete players. The lack of a defensively unreliable pure goal scorer is what makes championship teams emrge. With the way gaborik and kane have carried their teams i am becoming more and more open to ehlers. Hows his compete slash attitude. Ive pumped ritchie for so long but u can dispute that kane and gaborik are the difference makers. Mind you bickell does make a case for ritchie doesnt he
  2. I think NYI may roll the dice on him tbh. leaving Dal Colle up for grabs. Ehlers just defines NYI style haha
  3. yea the discussion went as stale as an opened bag of crackers just impossible to tell if Ehlers will turn out like Bure or not It's why we should trade Kesler to Anaheim for the 10th overall tho so we can roll the dice on another prospect or him if he's there.
  4. you're over simplifying both of them
  5. Point totals don't mean a lot for what Bergeron brings over another 60 point player
  6. I'd target Boone Jenner and Sean Couturier
  7. lowend: 50-60 point shut down center identical to what Ryan Kesler was projected to be only fairly bigger at 19. Good IQ, good shot, good stick handling, great attitude. Decent speed High end: Patrice Bergeron
  8. Ritchie on our 4th line will be fine. Linden said we need a team that runs 4 lines to compliment the sedins. That means if ritchie and gaunce outperform sestito and hansen in any way. They should be our 4th line.
  9. Linden should just ask Benning if Trotz is a coach he would endorse, then hire him and Benning no interviews.
  10. I think Gaunce has 2nd line potential so yea Iam proabbly really bias to both him and Ritchie
  11. To move up to 3rd with Edmonton, yea Horvat + 6th will get u that pick, maybe Gaunce maybe I donno
  12. Either of those prob get it done, too bad Edler and Kesler would never waive to either Florida or Buffalo
  13. I don't see it, maybe if he drops to 4th but if Buffalo or Edmonton or Florida want him theres no chance
  14. I completely agree, unfortunately the new gm needs to pick his coach. Firing Tortz tommorow let's all available coaches know a Canadian team has the position available.
  15. This, Maclelan should have never started the rookie but man that ref should be maimed. SJ stopped playing, but man that call just no, just no Wonder if Maclelan is a candidate if he gets axed.
  16. Kesler needs to go because we don't have enough elite young prospects to truly anchor the Sedins in their decline. Jensen Kassian Horvat Gaunce and Shinkaruk are good but with the 6th overall and a Kesler trade we can add 3 more and then I think we're safe. Kesler has little to no chemistry with any linemates we've put him with. It's time to give Santorelli a chance, and if it doesn't work we can draft one next year with another top 5 pick.
  17. Yea let's not have that happen to us again.
  18. Can't wait for every play to be reviewable so this sport can stop being bush league.
  19. Calgary wont pick ritchie over draisaitl. Ritchie is amazing but draisaitil is in another echelon
  20. The irony of Ehlers going 5th and us drafting Dal Colle would be absolutely gourmet. I donno about a rebuild if that pick happens though Sedin Sedin Jensen Dal Colle Kesler Kassian Burrows Horvat Higgins Matthias Santorelli Richardson Hansen Sestito not bad
  21. I only like doing that if we can get more pieces for Edler too
  22. The projection bias people have is hilarious. Every counter argument for ehlers criticism is that similiar players like him exist in the nhl as super stars. Mentions hes small or weak or soft or not gritty and u can guarentee datsyuk and kane mentioned. Youre all boring and short sighted
  23. Think we're better off trading Kesler for a better projected 1st line center. Someone with insane passing size and a shot. See your point but yea
