This post is so stupid, and anyone who up-voted it should seriously reconsider your position.

 

 getting back an overrated player

the rest is just noise, as is this, but show us how he's over-rated and you may have something to start from.

Its not really a gudbrandson dilemna - its more a whipping boy dilemna. Now that Sbisa is panning out, the peanut gallery needs a new player to be negative about. 

 

No it's not at all. I was one of probably 10 people who hated the trade WHEN IT HAPPENED. Go read the trade thread, you'll see that. Gudbranson is a horrible player. He doesn't provide offense, he doesn't drive possession, he doesn't prevent goals, he just throws hits. That's all he does. He's a faster Jared Cowen, and Jared Cowen is out of the league.

 

The trade was just horrible, and our improved (but likely not sustainable) performance since his injury is proof of that.

Stop gaps in your mind ARE causing you use poor grammar. Any other posts you'd care to edit before you stuff your head back up your ass?

One of those priceless moments when someone does something as tedious as correcting your grammar on an internet hockey forum - but does so with poor grammar lol.

To be honest, Sbisa deserved every bit of poo flinging sent his way. As you said, (and I also mantioned) he's starting to look a lot Gudder out there.

So yeah, why harp on a guy when he's playing well?

Its all Megna, have we lost with Megna on the top line?  Pinning the record on Gudbranson being out of the lineup is about as valid as pinning the wins on Megna being on the top line.

We would be very foolish not to extend him considering what we gave up, he is also pretty young in the grand scheme of things.

Not to mention Biega will be gone next season and there is a very good chance Sbisa gets drafted in the expansion draft. 

That would leave us with a Defence of

Stecher-Edler

Tanev-_____

Hutton-Tryamkin

_____

_____

5th overall draft pick say hi.

Whatever your feelings on Gudbranson are doesn't change the fact that there would be many many teams lining up to pay 5 mil per year for a 24 year old defenceman with his skill set. Whether you like it or not, that's what it costs to have a guy that size on your blue line.
