Rabbit Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I guess Pen wins this trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A risk? Sure. Sounds like his work ethic sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha, Highmore and Lafferty are similar players on paper and Gaudette and Nylander are both on their 3rd teams. I think the difference is that despite so so results, Gaudette has a good attitude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nylander is twice the player that Gaudette was. Gaudette was only less than a year older than Nylander was when traded and was at least in the NHL. Nylander was in the AHL putting up poor numbers (12 points -10 in 23 games). They are both about the same size, shifty playmakers, struggle defensively. What is it about Nylander’s game you think makes him a lot better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lock Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I don't know if I'm willing to say that Pittsburgh nor Chicago wins this trade. Nylander's been in the AHL this year and this is with Chicago not exactly being a strong team. Lafferty has actually played games this season, albeit in limited capacity and clearly in a diminished role since he started. Perhaps this is just 2 players that needed a change in scenery.

King Heffy Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Nylander is pretty close to having to go back to Europe to have any kind of career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
