You get the idea. We're a much improved team from what we were at the start of last season. You need to at least know how to spell his name . TYLER MYERS Our D is really awful...... Very puzzling why JB is adding top 5 talent when clearly the club D is very weak with terrible depth.

Jetliner Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 D is still too weak to be a real playoff contender when everyone's healthy, which is only for like 15-20 games: Edler Tanev Hughes UFA dman Stecher Biega Juolevi Safe to assume Tanev is gonna be injured 50% of games. Edler would prob miss 30%. so its gonna be Hughes UFA dman Stecher Sautner Juolevi Biega Breisbois The inconsistency in the D lineup is gonna kill us. Tanev is awesome when healthy, but i wish we had someone who can play 75-82 games instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the additions of Hughes and Myers(?) will provide a bit of shelter for Edler and Tanev, allowing us to play them less and keep them healthier. I'll admit that even with the addition of Myers, our D is still severely lacking. I'd like to resign Schenn for some bottom pairing depth. It's not a done deal that Hutton doesn't resign either. Someone like a Brogan Rafferty or Josh Teves could also be in the mix too. I'd like to see us move a couple of our redundant bottom 6 forwards for some defensive depth. We do eventually need to add a top pairing D to play on the right side though. That's the one gaping hole in our young player/prospect pool remaining that needs to be addressed. Part of the reason why I'm so terrified of the Myers contract is that it may limit our ability to make a move for the right guy is something comes along over the next couple of seasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hard pressed to say he makes the team out of training camp (although he did have a pretty good camp last year, so who knows?), but I think it's almost a guarantee that he gets called up at some point this season when the injuries inevitably start piling up. I can see him being a great fit with Stetcher on the second pairing down the line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgarM Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 There is so much parity in the league nowadays there is no way to predict one way or another. We will be better next year just by the sheer experience our young guys have gone through so far. Maybe we add D depth which may help keep Edler/Tanev in the line up longer. Maybe we weed out excess baggage we have been carrying. Can you say Pouliot? Hughes will help. A healthy Roussel will help. Miller will help. I love seeing these guys who say we need this or we need that to be contenders. It was the same in the prediction thread. Tons of predictions and then nothing but crickets when the season is over and done. We should improve next year but there are far too many factors to seriously predict one way or another what will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appleboy Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I guess if you criticize the management your a troll. Petey and Boeser are a ray of sunshine. Hughes looks like a beauty. We have a few solid kids in the system that could translate to nhl players . Our goal tending is strong. There is a way too much yet to fix and this is year six. Some real blunders have been made. I think fans need to praise what is good but raise our voices over the mistakes. It is our money that supports these clubs . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right. Best to just not try and move anybody and hold onto redundant pieces rather than trying to address a need because reasons. Obviously no team in the history of the league has ever been able to move a bottom 6 player for defensive depth. Derp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
