What about 6 ahl players and 2 rookies playing on the main roster? I would not blame the coaching staff for this season, except for maybe the very passive collapsing system utilized and the terrible dump and chase method . Those two things literally have an impact on everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the personnel needs to change. That post you’ve quoted was in response to another who said this defence was better than past D groups we’ve had and looking at the names, it is, but I do think there’s something to be said of the poor system this team plays. How many breakaways did the goalies face this year? Even going back to the bubble, the puck lived in the VAN zone and Demko had to absorb so many shots. That’s not a system. Who’s responsible for setting that system? The head coach? One of the assistants? I think it’s probably a combination of personnel and coaching but either way leaning so heavily on Edler with no succession plan says to me that JB is making it up as he goes along too which is concerning.

Juolevi was supposed to replace Edler and so far hasn't been good enough to do that. Next year, he'll have to step-up as Edler becomes more of a depth guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nave Posted May 12, 2021 Author Share Posted May 12, 2021 I can't lie, since I've learned he wants to opt for a rarely done surgery, I'm a bit tentative. Can see why the team is as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a waste of resources for one guy, who is barely keeping pace with Miller. If we were going to move big pieces there is no way I’d do it for Eichel, specially with his medical history. There has been some talk that Monahan could be one of the names in play in the off-season. I’m not sure I believe it and I doubt Calgary would trade him within the division but I would be far more interested in Monahan. Their stats are pretty comparable and without some of the baggage.

EddieVedder Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Seems like a high maintenance player. Want nothing to do with him. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNate Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I don't get the hype with Eichel. He is a young PPG C who is average defensively, is developing a bit of an injury history and has mediocre fancy stats. I wouldn't, trade EP straight up for him. I would however do JT Miller, 2021 1st, DiPeitro, one of Juolevi/Woo for Eichel and Jokiharu. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need him once Demko starts demanding too much. And would rather give them Rathbone then Woo. This team needs skilled dmen that play as intense as Jett.

Just because he had that one rush in the AHL does not mean that he's a skill guy. Hughes is a skill guy and Woo could compliment that if he turns out to be good enough 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Petey compete to do that Tbh Eichel strikes me as the kind of player that's going to beef with coaching staff if he doesn't get his way. He also underperformed this year, on a 10m cap hit. Petey will probably run us around 7m for the next couple years on his bridge deal. I'd rather have Petey as our 1C, and spend the extra $ building out a 3rd line that can score. Top heavy teams are gonna get rekt when they face teams that have a formidable shutdown line and defence pairing. If we can roll 3 scoring lines, and spend some $ on a #1 shutdown D man to partner with Hughes, we'll be incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallstreetamigo Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I want no part of Eichel at the cost it would take to get him. Nothing about him screams "leading a team to a cup". He is a me-first player with entitlement issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
