Yeah a team that almost finished last in the league trading away a potential lottery pick. Why would they go crazy over that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had all the other tools but he's never going to be a NHL player unless somehow he makes changes to his skating like Bo did. That's what makes it appealing to me. If he works his butt of and improves skating he could be serviceable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question you have to ask is, why hasn't he by now? Maybe he just can't improve enough? He's 24, he's had ample time. I think at this stage he is what he is. Would be useful in Utica though as a RH center Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rekker Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Both too slow for the modern game. I fear the same for Gadjovich. Watched him this summer in Penticton and he looked a step behind. Hope I'm wrong. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re doing it right. Don’t forget that Forsling and J Subban are obvious top 2 guys too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many think that just get a skating coach and they will be fast. Only one example of that working from what I’ve seen.

48MPHSlapShot Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Calgary's Lazar trade is basically their version of the Vey trade. Great AHL player that just couldn't put his game together at the next level. I'm surprised Rychel never got more of a chance though. He puts up strong AHL numbers as well, but for whatever reason hasn't gotten more than 4 NHL games in a season since the 2015-16 season, netting 9 points in 32 games. Never been given more than a cup of coffee in the NHL since. Can anyone tell me why Rychel never got more of a shot in the NHL? Was there some sort of underlying problem or something? Because, just looking at his games, it seems like he was never even given a chance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB5 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I liked both of these guys in their draft years but if they aren't starting to show much of anything at 24 yo then they will not make it in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they go crazy over that? Almost finished last? We had almost 20 more points than Ottawa. How does that math work? Also, that "potential lottery pick" is more likely to be a 15th-20th overall pick than it is to be a top 3 pick. But hey, keep crying about milk that hasn't come close to spilling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus Christ man I was being facetious. We were 5 wins away from being second last. How is do you know it’s going to be likely a 15-20th overall pick? Because we “should” make the playoffs? You talk about crying about milk that hasn’t come close to spilling yet? Let’s not ignore the giant elephant in the room. This could blow up in our faces.
