It was more a general comment about a real glaring need. actual tough guys that can play might be almost as hard to get as top 4 RHD. We don't have a fighter left, but we do still have guys that can play a harder game. So we'll see... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for some reason we’re giving away chances to other players who looked okay in games for a couple of weeks. We need to stop giving chances to AHL guys who have had lots of chances and start focusing on our own farm guys. Gotta make prospects actually think they have a chance e here. You don’t do that by continually plugging in AHL free agents. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why having a team of players who will at least provide some semblance of pushback would help. Horvat got the C and immediately turned into Henri Sedin on this front. Love me some Bo but man get that Linden vibe back ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pushback has to come from a pack mentality from the guys themselves, so if they can find that we'll be OK. If they don't, there will be some long nights. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t care if we have a fighter on the roster. I just want to see more of the ‘94 vibe and less of the last 10 years vibe. I am admittedly older and a bit old school but I think that team toughness factor still matters. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the guy already 16 minutes ago, BarefootBob said: Holy shmokes!!! He's a little goon! He's only 5'4" or so but he makes all the other tuff guys expendable!! Yeah, Burroughs destroyed the much larger Bjugstad in that fight, which is always fun to see from a smaller guy. Especially when it’s the big guy starting trouble and the little guy finishing it. But it would be misrepresenting things to suggest that lopsided a fight is typical of Burroughs (or that Bjugstad is a challenging opponent). Burroughs is definitely tough, and he’s had 40+ fights in his career, going back to his WHL days, but he’s not a Rick Rypien type, who can go toe to toe with the biggest, toughest guys, and come away with an impressive W/L record. Still, he’s definitely a guy who’s not afraid to step up, if the moment calls for it. And one thing I’ve noticed from Burroughs’s overall fight card is that quite often his opponents are also assessed additional penalties for antics like charging/boarding/etc, and Burroughs is coming to the defence of a downed or injured teammate. That’s what you like to see. There are lots of clips where he’s going in immediately, without hesitation, to settle the score after someone took liberties with his teammates. 1 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

48MPHSlapShot Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 More annoyed about losing Gadj. Mac was a fringe NHLer at best and didnt do himself any favors in camp. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily 100% intentionally but I do feel like there is an organizational piece to the lack of pushback style. It’s been far too consistent for far too long through a ton of different players coming and going to be completely coincidental. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac was useful, had a poor camp, but was depth and size the team lacks. You don't think players won't run Hughes or Petey? With Juolevi, Gadj, MacEwen....what do all these prospects leaving say about player development? Is the system broken somehow? Are prospects that Benning signs not really that good as we think? Does the team have a problem turning somewhat value players into zero value players (which in turn other teams pick off for free when available)? Can't a guy like a Gadjovich or MacEwen get even a 7th round pick, an AHL prospect or futures in return? Going into year 8, I'm running out of what to say with this regime and overall asset management anymore. In February of last year Benning said after trading Madden and a pick "I feel we have seven players, young players, in our system that i think are going to be on our team here in the next two or three years I count , like, seven on the CONSERVATIVE side, that's two-thirds of our team in the next three years that are going to be 25 years or younger. I don;t think it's a change in philosophy, i just felt like we have enough depth in the prospect pool that we can give up Madden" He also stated in this interview that Zach MacEwen was ready to be an everyday NHL player He never mentioned his super seven I presume he was referring to Hoglander (on the team at the time), Podkolson, Lind, Juolevi, Rafferty, Rathbone DiPietro? Gads had me changing in a positive way of how he would be a welcome addition at some point To answer your question of are prospects we sign not as good as we think? I wonder how long is it before the next prospects we hope for will be on waivers for nothing as well and our cupboards bare, without a Stanley Cup appearance even 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played something like 4 minutes down the stretch last year and got in one game. He should have go a chance to be in every game but instead Green played every other random perimeter player he could instead all because Gadj made one give away. That was all just Green saving Green's job for another year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do buy into the idea that it often tends to backfire on us with the ref's and league. I mean sending the league to watch us after Gudbranson's comments was a total joke. I still think there's more control over this with the guys themselves, just don't know who's going to take the lead in the locker room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not all on coaching. But teams do tend to take their lead on this stuff from coaches more than people might think. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
