Could def use a Ferland, a guy who can play tough and produce offense. They're tough to find, it's a shame he ran into concussion trouble. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 MacEwan isn’t a huge loss. Gadjovich had more upside. My issue is that with our skill guys largely being smaller and softer than average, this is still hockey and they have to feel protected so they can play their games. With a 4th line expected to have a PK duo, it means one winger on that line isn’t going to play a lot of minutes as their 5v5 time will be less. That is an ideal spot for more of a role player who can scrap and be a little deterrent. Gadjovich was legitimately a tough guy who could do that. MacEwan would fight but not someone anyone is really scared of. We don’t have anyone like that on the team or even in the system. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So tired of seeing this guy associated with the Canucks. So tired of team toughness and being able to fight comments. Who on earth cares if he can't play hockey? Typical Flyer ... have fun wasting a roster spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.B Cooper Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 We are soft as butter, but Mac was no good anyway. We don’t need to ice AHL players because they are kinda tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But early on especially you knew if you &^@#ed around too much you were gonna be picking up some teeth. We sorely need that presence. Even if they rarely drop the mitts just being there helps sometimes. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaves was next to useless last playoffs, e.g. I do hate losing Mac like this tho, seems like a waste of a lot of development time. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t suggesting Mac is the answer to that need. It was more a general comment about a real glaring need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
