Today he's told to make offence happen and does exactly that. We need to ship poolman out and get a competent shutdown guy, and we'll have a top tier blue line. Poolman and Boroughs were doing a great job at shutting things down under Green. We need to put them back together on the third pairing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he really worth Miller or Garland and OEL? He’s nowhere near that level and people would never stop complaining about those trades. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like Burroughs, he is really a find, and I’d wager, no joy to play against. It’ll be an interesting day if he is still here when Lockwood and Woo arrive. None would be fun playing against unless you really have a taste for their kind of game - I kind of have the sense that Burrows (of the Alex variety) and Kesler would have loved playing against their doppelgangers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have priorities and that would like a #3 on any list of mine............. #1.........1/2 RHD #2. 3rd line center who can take FO and penalty kill #3..........sure Crouse! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 2 minutes ago, J.I.A.H.N said: No no no no no no no NO! For a 10-15 pick I would consider it. Too many times we value those picks way too much. Like there’s really no guarantee that pick pans out and even it does that player is at least 5 years from making an impact. If we can recoup picks from other vets it could be a good move. Crouse is a heckuva a player. Someone every top contender has. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 7 minutes ago, Ray_Cathode said: It was Arizona tonight, so I wouldn’t make plans for playing the rest of the NHL based on playing the Desert Mutts. OEL did get three points, but then Juulson had two, so what does that mean? Putting a strong defensive left D who could take on some of OELs defensive responsibilities would help, though. In addition, he creates play differently than Hughes, which is a good thing to have - when it’s not working for one guy, it might work for the other. It is the Coyotes, so a grain of salt for sure. But I've been of the opinion that OEL should be getting more of those soft offensive minutes for a little while now. Given the career he's had it's strange that he's just fallen off offensively. It's a number of things, no doubt, but Hughes getting preferential treatment offensively is part of it. If Hughes wants to grow as a player he'll need to take more of those hard minutes OEL and Myers are eating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s other ways to accomplish those other moves though. Im not giving up a 1st for a third line center. The number 1 RHD we for sure need. But again can be acquired in other ways. If we end up trading a forward we’ll also need a replacement winger. Crouse would be a great add. Edited February 9, 2022 by DeNiro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could probably get him locked in for a pretty reasonable cap hit with his numbers too. A good replacement for Pearson. For a 1st? Hell no.

Could Burroughs be the defence version of Burrows? Okay not yet. Thats a tall glass of water. But he's a keeper as a 5/6 th for sure. Gotta love how he plays, with a burr in his saddle lol. Love his piss n vinegar. We need it. He’s been so versatile for us. What was the count tonight? 7 hits, 5 blocks? Almost 15 mins. Good game, Unsung hero.

Burroughs, Schenn, Myers, maybe Juulesen too. These D playing hard might take some pressure off Garland and Bo and JT to stand up for the group. Rough guys play hard, top guys score. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If using a 1st then Canucks might as well go for it, keep Miller and make the playoffs. Trade Dickinson + Poolman/Hamonic + unprotected 1st 2022 for Crouse. We get a young PWF and much needed cap space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Odd. Posted February 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2022 OEL was spectacular, reminding us why he was regarded as one of the best two-way defenseman for a number of years, and still is in his own respects. Only 30 years old. Guys like him who are agile on their skates, especially for a defenseman, typically stay around for quite awehile. Crouse is also a big time player. Just what this team needs. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
