That's where I disagree. I think Edler is too inconsistent to be labeled a 3, I have him at a 4 or 5 on a good team (though I think he will have a good year this year if he stays with Schmidt), Myers is a 5, Hamonic is a 6 that can be a 5 and Juolevi is a 6. 

 

We have one of the weaker d cores in the league. That's what I'm comparing it to. It's better than Edmonton's but our D still sucks. Lower half in the league in my opinion. It will however be a really strong D core in a couple years though, I believe. Just lacks the defensive side of the game right now. Schmidt is our best defensive player but guys like Edler, Myers, Hamonic, Hughes and with Juolevi being a wild card our D is too inconsistent in their own end. With Hughes getting another year under his belt I anticipate him becoming a lot more consistent than last year though. He's definitely the best defensively in my opinion after Schmidt. Edler can either play amazing defensively or is a dumpster fire, depends on his engagement but over the past 3 years I find about every 3rd game we get his outstanding defense and the other 2 games he lacks the engagement. However like I said I think Schmidt will be the perfect partner for him. Also helps that Edler usually starts out every season extremely well so hopefully that's the case again this year. 

This is border line trolling.  Name the teams one of Hughes, Schmidt, edler or Myers wouldn’t be top 4 d on.  Hamonic has potential to do a lot of the same things as Tanev did plus some physicality.  Given the talent in our division the d will be tested this year but hard to say it hasn’t been improved.  It also stacks up with everyone in the North division quite well.

Myers isn't a top 4 dman on an elite team. Too inconsistent. Hughes and Schmidt are undebatable top 2. 

 

I've got harmonic mixed up with another player so that's my bad.

4am start here, Will be able to see The first 2 periods before leaving for work at 6

It’s brutal. I’m working from home so no commute but still hard. When the Canucks are on the east coast I will look forward to the (comparatively)earlier face offs 

 

glad I changed jobs and don’t have the 6am starts any more

yep. unless you think his 1 pp point since 15/16 makes him a specialist. 

Hahaha the greatest. Yeah I know for sure I've got the wrong player hahaha. 

 

Possibly Dougie Hamilton I'm thinking of? I don't think it is but damn I can't remember who I'm convinced he was on Calgary.

Yeah its either hanifan or Hamilton, but Hamilton I wouldn't classify as just a PP specialist. 

Maybe take away from it that you should have your ducks in a row BEFORE you make bold statements that throw our team under the bus.  It's ok to be skeptical and even make a mistake (we all do, as humans)...but not if it's to rip into someone/something.   Let's see how it plays out at first and then assess things.  New pairings and things 

 

The fact that you want to change Edler's game is also "incorrect" to me.

Good news is that Edler I think will play a drastically different game offensively this year playing with Schmidt

COME AND JOIN THE PARADE...DON'T RAIN ON IT!

going to guess Benn was around his brother and then Dallas shut down over covid cases. would not be shocked if he has it and Miller was living with him so might not have it but has to quarantine. 

But they had to quarantine before camp did they not?

Hasn't Benn been here for weeks? He would have had to self quarantine for 14 days if he came from the States. Unless it was both Benn's in Victoria?

So did Miller and Benn test positive?

There were conflicting alternating (false) positive/negative tests from what I heard reported.

 

Satiar Shah is guessing Miller could be back week against the Habs.  No word on Benn.
