  1. Brought in a young guy who can help the PK in exchange for a goalie who wanted out and a D who was unlikely to ever be good enough in his own zone.
  2. It's not his main strength but he's not overly soft either. He'll be here to help the PK; his faceoff stats aren't terrible either for his age at 49% last year, which was a big improvement over the previous season.
  3. Studnicka's pretty responsible defensively. Was an effective checker on the 2019 WJHC Team Canada; he'll likely be a Lazar replacement.
  4. Nope, I just have no tolerance for a defenceman who can't play defence. Bouchard is an absolute tire fire. He's soft, slow, and stupid; there is zero chance of him ever turning into an actual NHL quality player. Did you not see how badly he disgraced his country at the WJHC, and then followed it up with absolutely no improvement defensively. He's worse than useless and we still have guys on Abbotsford who are superior to that bum. The only defencemen who have any business getting NHL minutes between the two teams are Nurse, Muzzin, Brodie, and Giordano. Benn is ok in an emergency.
  5. He had shown zero sign of being able to pay in his own zone without being a complete liability. He could probably be ok on the wing, but he's nowhere near good enough to have any hope of belonging on a blueline where defensemen are required to actually play defence. Hughes isn't perfect, but he at least has a basic understanding of the game that can be worked in. Rielly refuses to even try.
  6. Build the damn things and stop underfunding the military. Using a design also used by our close allies makes sense for maintenance, and keeping production in Canada is a must; the jobs are worth paying more.
  7. Even with the injuries, we still have actual NHLers. The only guy they have who has any business playing at this level is a gutless flopper who puts more effort into cheapshots than into playing the game. The rest of their group simply aren't capable of playing in their own zone to an acceptable standard. While we mostly have bottom pairing guys, they're still better than the pylons Edmonton uses.
  8. And Edmonton is even worse. At least we don't have Barrie and Bouchard refusing to even try to stop playing like trash in their own zone. Same goes for the Leafs with Rielly, Liljegren, and Sandin. All of our callups are far better than any of those useless pylons.
  9. Edmonton still has zero NHL quality D other than Nurse. While our group isn't elite, they're certainly better than the trash the Oilers and Leafs put out there.
  10. That's absolutely terrifying considering how much of a scumbag Yeo is. He absolutely needs to be fired and if management gives another locker room cancer the head coaching job, they need to go as well.
  11. Hell of a hockey player and a hell of a guy for choosing to open up and help others through his example.
  12. Klingberg is an even bigger defensive liability than Bear. He's worse than useless.
  13. He at least is willing to play a physical game, which we clearly need.
  14. If GM's have any sense. He could coach in junior again but his outright refusal to conduct himself like a professional isn't something that a pro team should tolerate. You can't allow someone like that near any of your assets. Even under an actual coach, why would you hire a complete idiot?
  15. Wouldn't mind taking a flyer on him with the injuries.
