Both my opinion. I think you’re probably right - and I liked the Juolevi pick at the time and wished we took more D in the first rounds when we were clearly rebuilding (even if they never called it that.) just saying missing on those two moves really hurt us now as we’re missing a stud D or even a extra trade chip or two 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, cause he's not saying that he's a top pairing defenseman. He's Top 4, or Bottom 4, whichever way you want to look at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OEL plays an important role, and is paid to be a key piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, teams have their own list and the list we see are mostly for the fans.... If the guy is ranked in the top 10-20 in the draft and you as a presenter don’t know anything about him. You have completely failed to do your job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elias Pettersson Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 2 hours ago, Angry Goose said: the hard part was that mgmt was banking on Miller being a capable C. Heck I was too thinking he could essentially take Bo’s spot. Maybe he still can despite a pretty shaky start to this season. I still think he can. With the right wingers. Trade BO to Boston for a package including Lysell and Lysell would be a perfect fit as a winger for Miller. Podkolzin also played well with Miller last year. Miller isn’t a perfect centre by any means, but with the right wingers he can play there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Lasso Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Predictions: By March, some combination of Boeser, Garland and/or Miller will be traded, then they’ll make Horvat another offer. In the meantime all of us long suffering fans will continue to click all the bait, and make all the trade proposals. @Alflives will type ‘suckeroo’ 4,283 more times, and @EddieVedder will hate on Boeser for a full season after he’s traded 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's never going to live up to that salary. He's still a useful player though. He's definitely not going to end up like LE who was unplayable by the end. Yeah I completely agree. It’s also disingenuous to think if they don’t make that move we’re sitting on 12 mil in salary. We’d have just signed Klingberg and some other piece last offseason. People can blame ownership but I’m sure all our favourite players feel the same way. Nobody wants to sit on cap space. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cripplereh Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 OEL isn't the problem on D.Yes we all know he is overpaid but he still is a good d man. Problem is we didn't get anyone else to help our D till Bear and we need one or two more D. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
