  1. Not the greatest effort but we've seen that so many times this year.
  2. Matthews also plays with amazing players like Marner, Tavares. Leagues best offence. Matthews has 2 more years in the league on Petey. It usually takes elite players 4-5 years to reach their full potential ie Eichel/Mackinnon/Pastrnak. Petey also has the disadvantage of being underweight which not a lot of elite players had coming in. Wait 2-3 more seasons when Petey reaches that potential and has an NHL body he might be an Art Ross contender.
  3. Pettersson in a few years could end up a much better player overall. Matthews will probably be one of the best goal scorers but I can see Petey being an Art Ross threat more so.
  4. Barrie vs Schultz? How about Dillon vs Edmundson instead.
  5. Amazingly he is still 23 years old. Could turn into a Kassian-type player but less meaner.
  6. Good player to have around with the young D we've got too. Rafferty/Juolevi/Rathbone all would benefit starting along side a veteran presence. Whether that be a Tanev/Edler/Dillon.
  7. Yeah for sure we are missing that on D. JB brought in Benn to do that but he's been a disappointment. He was an average top 6 D though and we paid him 2M according. Bring in a Tryamkin and sign a Dillon/Edmundson and we'd have a killer top 6.
  8. I liked Sutter but he's a shell of his former self. Prior to his injuries he was a pretty good defender and provided secondary scoring but offense seems to die with him now and Beagle has been better than him defensively.
  9. He hands his hands full. If he succeeds he could re-sign everyone and bring in a couple pieces that could really help us. If Ferland comes back that's a guy who brings in a extremely good physical presence, protects our stars and provides some secondary scoring. If he doesn't that's 3.5M in cap but he's the type of player we need so I am hoping for him.
  10. Oh yeah. Most complete top prospect we've had since Bo. Another year away though which I don't have a problem with I would add more though. Too many guys who are one demensional in our bottom 6. Sutter/Eriksson/Roussel. Motte and Beagle should be the main stays defensively and we have to start to give checking opportunities to Virtanen/Gaudette. I love bottom 6 players who hit/score(hopefully Virtanen/Mac) defensive/hit(Motte) defensive/score(hopefully Gaud). Beagle is pretty good defensively and on the draw so I am good with him, especially since he knows what it takes to win(WSH cup and tons of playoff games).
  11. Roussel brought a more physical presence and a bit of secondary scoring last year. He has been a disappointment this year. Not as physical and hasn't been scoring as much despite playing on a good secondary scoring line with Gaud/Virtanen a lot. He's on the list of guys I would move to clear cap but he's far from the top. Eriksson/Sutter/Baer/Benn then probably him.
  12. Edler a goal away from 100 goals and a point away from 400 points. Would love to see him get it vs CBJ in a win.
  13. Probably. Players would bring a good physical presence consistently are called energy guys/spark plugs for a reason and having someone who plays that way inspires you to up your game. All you gotta do is look at a guy like Motte and see what he does for the 4th line. IMO we need more of it on top of Zac. Could inspire a guy like Virtanen to up his game physically.
  14. Mac is an old-school guy but he has some skill offensively. Could turn into a less meaner Kassian. We need more guys who are more than one dimensional in our bottom 6. Sutter/Eriksson are defensive guys only and to be effective in this league you have to be really good at one thing or bring a couple aspects fairly well.
  15. Not attacking you if that's how you feel. Just stating how I feel about him and am looking toward the off-season where we will have to get rid of some guys and reshape the bottom 6 fwds/top 6 D. He's one of the guys I would consider moving but he's not at the top of that list Eriksson>Sutter/Baer/Benn>Roussel. Want guys who bring more in to surround Gaud/Virtanen with and want to lock up Toffoli/Tanev/Marky.
