Where are these young guys jb threw away? All I could find was... -Zac Mac... 44 games 1 goal 4 points -10 -Jo Gaj....... 25 games 0 goals 2 points -7 Absolute plugs. Certainly not worth crying about. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah because dowel Chiasson have no upside. Doweling clears waivers those “plugs “ didn’t what’s that say about the garbage he kept. So yeah he threw those YOUNG developing players away. Both had size and grit guess what none of the old turds he kept have guess what we need. size and grit. lol thinking doweling Chiasson aren’t the worthless plugs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcam Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I still am disappointed Benning and group never kept one of Gadjovich 23, 6'2, 210 or MacEwen 25, 6'3, 205.. We miss big power forward who can drop gloves and protect teammates if need be.. Big Schenn 6'2, 220 does a great job..Really like how Schenn looks after his teammates.. Gadjovich is looking after his Shark teammates.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I liked both those guys, they have size, youth, grit/toughness but we go with guys like Chiasson, Dowling to replace them doesn't make much sense. Chiasson gives you some experience and net presence but a young guy with upside like Gads is making league minimum what's the risk in keeping him?? They should have known he would be claimed. Mac was a tone setter too. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and ever team have toughness and grit..We are not saying Gadjovich Or MacEwen are game changers but they make room for the more skilled players and other teams can't have guys running around taking cheap shots on our skilled players... You don't want Miller, Horvat, fighting... Islander and most teams have a couple guys like Gadjovich.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiasson : 39gp 5-4=9 and -3 Dowling 22gp 2-2=4 and -3 not saying they are great players but it is double the production of zac and Gaj. If that is a 'worthless plug' then the other two are worse than that. -Zac Mac... 44 games 1 goal 4 points -10 -Jo Gaj....... 25 games 0 goals 2 points -7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've seen what has become of the team's now former prospects, and they haven't shone all that brightly in their new circumstances. Have the veteran replacements really been all that much better for what they should be able to do for the team? I doubt any believe that they would provide much/any offense, but rather that they would be reliable defensive players, who would chip in a few points, and also provide a bit of physicality when needed. It would seem that they were (somewhat) successful in chipping in a few points, but their success with everything else is questionable. Numbers aren't the real issue here, it's the loss of potential in letting go of Gadjovich and MacEwen. *Maybe* they turn out to be something more than what they were while they were here under the former system... or maybe they won't. Maybe they would have shown a bit more under the new coach and systems. I suspect that they would have brought a bit more energy to the building. It's not like they would cost any more than the guys who were kept, yes? And if the new coach/management decided that they weren't needed here, then they could be waived, and everyone could get on with their lives. regards, G. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seems odd to me that these fringe guys aren't out there doing everything they can do take and keep a job. Zac Mac was in my opinion, but he just wasn't good enough in all areas. Anyway, how long is too long to have a player hang around and not show signs of an up-curve? In the big leagues you have to move on quickly......although I'm glad they gave the Sedins more rope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since he's already an upgrade over a bum like Chiasson, it seems like a no brainer. Sadly our training camp was run by an unqualified clown who specialized in destroying the confidence of his players and gifting unearned ice time to his pet plugs. It will take a couple of years to undo the damage Green did to this organization. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
