  1. Oel is as close as theyve had in a decade. Hughes will never be a #1. Been saying it since day 1, hes basically a small shifty forward playing on the defense. Hes not able to handle the physicality of the opposition and it gets proven game in and game out. And if ppl think he can make some adjustments as far as using his stick to keep opposing forwards at bay, you are kidding yourself. Forwards are getting stronger and more skilled by the year.
  2. Big Mac looked good when given the chance in 2019/2020. He had spurts on Horvats wing and used his speed and size well. No idea wtf Green was thinking last yr relegating him to the 4th line and press box. Completely shattered his confidence for no reason.
  3. They would help the team. Hamonic was our most solid defender last year. You need guys like that to win. Sutters a gamer and brings it every game.
  4. The handling of OJ, Lind, Gadj and Mac is still disturbing. There is no excuse for throwing away homegrown talent like this in favour for what we picked up. Something isnt right with management rn.
  5. Good post. In agreement with a lot of this especially Hughes, lack of physicality and Greens grudges.
  6. Wasnt just injuries. His drama queen of a wife helped wreck his career. Hes still young enough he can bounce back.
  7. Is this a joke? How can you be considered a top dman when you cant handle top minutes? 3 games into the year mind you.
  8. He played between seguin and benn for stints. He has offensive talent.
  9. Cant believe ppl are complaining about Hirsch. Hes been a breath of fresh air.
  10. You nailed it with this post. This isnt the same Petey as year 1, i agree. Where is his compete level? I love what we are getting from Dickinson too. He is perfect for that 3c role and hes going to allow Horvat to focus more on offense. OEL has been great so far. This is what a true #1 dman looks like. Its still super early in the season and players, especially younger ones with more to prove go all out early then taper.
  11. Man i miss Burr. Other then Horvat and Hogz, i just cant get behind these guys like I did in the Sedin era.
  12. The eastern teams, especially American, are going to naturally get more votes. The guys voting aren't staying up and watching western teams play. This isnt new.
  13. They overpaid by a ton. Its almost as if teams are trying hard to convince themselves that these guys are more valuable than they are.
  14. Theyre working to pay back the fellas in the old country.
  15. No team is going to worry about any player on our club. Other teams have free reign to wreck any of our guys. Isnt the fact he could fight. The guy showed when put with Horvat that he could contribute. He was an excellent skater with size and intensity. Benning and Green just threw away Gadj and Mac.
  16. Mac could play hockey. When given the opportunity the year before last, he proved it. Cant believe we threw away Lind, Gadj and Mac within a few weeks of one another. We are the softest team in the league that just gets smaller each year.
  17. Thats no excuse for a professional player making that much. Youll never see elite players using that excuse yet we love making it for all our guys.
  18. Playing defense is a completely different beast than forward. Hughes is small framed. He doesnt have the physical makeup to defend at this level.
  19. Rathbone cant defend, so im not sure how you expect him to be good. Cup contending teams dont have one dimensional D's.
