  1. Fair enough... I guess we do My statement about Myers was not about getting injured in front of the goal, but the ability to clear the crease when heavy forwards park them selves there... All the slashing and bullying of our defenders are quickly reduced, when they get hammered into the boards or get a good bit of lumber... PS. I know the feeling off night hockey... For me its between midnight and 3am, mostly around 3am... still trying to see most of the games though....
  2. OEL babysitting Myers? Are you actually watching the games.. As for your second part, do you think taking Myers out of the line up, will reduce the amount of injuries we have? Sorry, but who cares, if we can even defend... Myers is actually, together with Schenn, Burroughs and Hamonic the ones that can hurt the opposition... I don't know if you saw our bubble run, but he could take the fight up in front of the crease... If all we needed was to skate the puck out of the zone, Rathbone would be more than able, but he like Liljegren (apparently)|, struggles on the D side of things... Its all very well they can look flash, but if they can't defend its really irrelevant... Someone mentioned Pouliot... I hope for Liljegren himself, that he isn't that bad...
  3. While we all like to mould young players, big question would be, who takes Myers role on the team? There is zero chance, even if he turns out fine, that Liljegren is ready or even close to able to take the load that Myers does... Thus we'd need to spend the cap savings on another Dman to replace Myers... Alternatively it would spell rebuild, and then there would be no point In keeping Miler in the first place. Or at least that is how it looks from my window...
  4. If the stars align, Sutter could come in and do either C or more likely be the winger...
  5. Yes it would be something around at least one or two of those, and then Vatrano as a throw in to fill the 3C...
  6. It was blatantly evident when QH were paired with Harmonic, that it didn't work anywhere close to Schenn being paired with Hughes.... Yep Schenn doesn't have Hughes speed, but he has a physical presence, and experience which has proven very valuable... as you say, he is guiding Hughes and going through the plays with Hughes on the bench as well... If they want to split that pairing they need another D-man for Hughes with similar qualities, although being a bit faster would be nice... Schenn has been very effective together with Hughes... and has been extremely good value for money.
  7. Could this be Rangers preparing to go for Miller and getting a 3C to be part of the deal?
  8. Bet they've already been told they won't face any problems... NHL is rotten to the core...
  9. + Capspace.... Makes sense if they think/know Motte wants more, than they are willing to pay...
  10. Liljegren replaces Myers??? A D-man who struggles on the Leafs bottom line to replace Myers...?
  11. Exactly.... they got plenty of firepower and creativity... why would they need more, and since when don't we?
  12. That's obviously a subjective way of looking at it... Not a top line C... the hottest player in the league? Quinn Hughes not a top pairing d-man? hmmm maybe not...
