  1. How is JP one dimensional? And no one ever thought Laine was anything but.........he just happens to better at that one dimension than almost anyone on the planet.
  2. Ovie? C'mon man. He's much much closer to Kessel than Ovie, and theres absolutely nothing wrong with that.
  3. Sorry, that line will never get out of their own end.
  4. I didn't get that at all. To me, it sounds like he spends a lot of one on one time with TG. Seems like they're making an effort to get him going in the right direction
  5. Agreed and the rumoured deal Boes is asking compared to the deal Bo took was more the focus of the comment.
  6. He wasn't awful in his own end. He had to make adjustments, for sure, but the defensive issues were team issues more than personal ones, imo
  7. Height isn't as important as weight and he's not lacking there. He's a brick
  8. I'm not buying that........he's got plenty that will be cheering for him tofail, even if he earns his spot.
  9. They will move on from Tanev, almost for sure, and if Try wants to come back, I think Stetch is gone too
  10. Absolutely.......no need to have him in Van as a #6-8 rather in Utica as a #1-2, playing all situations
  11. Of course they do........I should say the agents do, not the players themselves
  12. I meant it as a high compliment
  13. The thing so many people seem to not see is that RFA's don't have that kind of bargaining leverage, especially ones like Boeser with no arbitration rights. He can hold out and that's it. For all the talk about his character I don't exactly see Boes thinking about the teams future the way Bo did.
  14. Kessel is about as good a comparable to Boes as there is. First round pick (though Kessel was fifth oa), both not superb skaters, but lights out shooters, both avg defensively but mostly one dimensional, albeit outstanding at the one dimension. Kessel had been one of the most consistent scorers in the last decade, you make it seem like an insult to compare them.
  15. Most of the teams who have won in the last decade would disagree
  16. You don't think the first thing they look at is the other RFA contracts on the team. Petey will look at BB's $7m and say, "I'm worth x amount more than Brock"
  17. I certainly didn't say Brock wasn't an important piece, and I'm not writing anyone off. I love BB and most definitely want him to stick around, but $7m for a guy who you don't notice unless he scores is ridiculous. He's a great scorer, he's just not one of the three you build around..........much like Kessel. You need those guys, but you don't break the bank on him because it sets an unsustainable precedent when the franchise players are up for new contracts. If you don't think BB, someone you obviously consider on the cusp of franchise player status, would bring back a first and a top 4 day man, why in God's name would you give him $7m now when he's got zero bargaining leverage?
  18. Petey and QH will likely take up the vast majority of that $22m........then there's Bo and likely a massive third deal for Boeser. It's not about whether they can afford to keep their young stars, it's about all the veteran support players they won't be able to afford because 4 players are taking up a huge chunk of the cap.
  19. I think your bass ackwards on this one. The hypothetical is that he stays healthy. The fact is 2 seasons, 2 injury shortened seasons. I think, as well, he'll be healthy this year, but the trend is injury, not the other way around.
  20. I think he's saying the both play the same spot on the PP, which is true. However, BB is obviously the superior player there. That said, one thing I don't like about the PP set up is that Petey is probably a better one timer from the right side than Boes from the left (equal at least), but Petey usually defers to BB, opting to try to set him up rather than shoot himself. I notice it 5v5 too and that's one of the main reasons I'd rather see Boes with Bo.
