Gollumpus Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 39 minutes ago, Monty said: So then Tyler Myers is tiny? Oh you're being deliberately ingenuous here. Ehlers is a "small" player because he is light in weight compared to other players of the same approximate height. This is a factor which a lot of people choose to ignore when discussing the size of players like Ehlers, or Marner (6' 170 lbs), or Kane (5' 11" 177 lbs). Interesting though, no one suggests that a guy like Markus Granlund (6' 183 lbs) is small, whether in his physical size or in how he plays the game. The above being said, an argument could be made that Myers is a bit light for his height. Chara (6' 7") is 250 lbs vs Myers (6' 8") at 229. Tryamkin is listed at 265 lbs at 6' 7".. Pedan is a mere 203lbs at 6' 4", so I would say that he is definitely underweight for his height, compared to some of other tall players in the NHL. regards, G.

Also, that he is soft and plays soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Being small, or even a finesse scorer doesn't necessarily make a player "soft". Let me know if anyone has seen a double flamingo out of Ehlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VIC_CITY Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I can't believe there are actually people that don't like this contract. I think it's a great deal for the Jets. $6M isn't what it used to be and Ehlers is only going to get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe some Canuck's fans choose to see the faults in other teams' players, while not seeing the faults in our own? Again, this is a Canuck's fan board, right? As for Ehlers, (IMHAO) giving a soft perimeter player long term big money can turn out to be a big mistake. Ehlers will need to produce big points to compensate for his poor defensive play, or he hurts his team's chances of winning - like last night for example. There you have it. Everyone can stop trying to make logical arguments because he's just going to keep covering his ears and not listen to reason because this is CDC.
