Yes im bummed that the trade fell through but kinda relieved as well that OJ is still with us. I really like the potential of a Juolevi and Rafferty pairing I think it will be better any combo we had this past season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetterssonOrPeterson Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 At least it means we don’t have to linger on this anymore since ARZ was too indecisive. Time to look at the agents on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Edler and Stecher couldn't process the game fast enough. We need guys that can move the puck and think quickly exiting the zone. If you add more Tanev types you are still hemmed in. I think we all saw the same result, but the resolution is different that people think in my mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Heffy Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 1 minute ago, Kobayashi Maru said: I want to have D that can match the pace of the forwards and think the game fast enough. OEL was the perfect choice for that but it fell through. Stecher I liked but couldn't process the game fast enough, Edler is slower so should be more of the Tanev stay at home territory now. We get hemmed in not because we are missing more Tanev's or Mark Staal's but because our D can't think or move fast enough out of the zone. We need guys that can think fast and move the puck out as we have the guys that can play the shutdown role. Barrie plays defense like he has some kind of mental handicap. No use in a pylon who moves the puck to the other team. No excuse for playing as bad in your own end as Barrie. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he decided he wants to bet on himself and takes a cheap short term deal hoping he can rebound from his dismal season in Toronto and cash in later I wouldn't object to him coming here. He could rebound but Stecher is better defensively I’d rather resign him over Barrie personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wai_lai416 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Lol all we have done this off season is qualify jake and now gonna waste 3.5+ mil cap space on him to be out of shape by start of next season. Imagine arbitrator gives him 4mil just based on his goals and not caring about how he plays 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Troy and wish him the best but if Barrie decides he wants to bet on himself and sign a short term low cap hit deal hoping he rebounds and cashes in, I'd take that bet.

He's not my first choice either, but a very strong puck moving D is what our biggest need is. OEL was first choice, just not sure what the other options are outside of Barrie. Pietr is not coming here. My ideal for this is still Rasmus Ristolainen but that will require picks and prospects and likely no cap relief. Ultimately our need is speed out of our own zone.

kloubek Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 All that for nothing. Arizona got greedy and Benning did his best to accommodate, but glad he didn't cave. With that said, he better have a plan B or C to upgrade the D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
