He struggles in his own zone, we already have Hughes, and we have a braindead imbecile coaching the D who will cause serious damage to him long-term.  A hockey trade for a similar aged defensive D makes sense.

I would trade Juolevi before I let go of Rathbone who could blossom into a star. We know what Juolevi can do.

And by the way Hughes said he can play right or left defence.

Hughes is unlikely to ever become a defensive stalwart.  The best we can hope is that he doesn't hurt us.  Good teams aren't full of defensemen who can't play defense.

As I recall the last pre-season game usually has a couple guys that are going to make it and a couple that are on the bubble with one last chance. Maybe Juolevi has already made it.

I hope so.  From what I hear Juolevi isn't even around.  Maybe he's injured.  Who knows.

Expecting you to have a good night in front of the home fans tonight Petey. No pressure though, if you don't score don't worry because we rather you score when the games matter.

What has Hunt done thats so special?

 

I like him as a depth guy, but he doesn't kill penalties. God forbid OEL misses time whos going to kill penalties?

 

I haven't been impressed with Schenn either for that matter.

 

Which is the Achilles heel. D is not deep.

Hunt isn't better than OJ necessarily but he is diversified.
