RWJC Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) Don’t forget folks that Dermott can play both sides. Even if he ends up a 6/7th D, having a switch hitter is still a great asset to have Edited March 20, 2022 by RWJC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A competent proven d man that fits the age profile they are going after costs allot. Hamonic was slow and provided no offence. Yeah I actually agree with this 100%. Plus, Dermott seems to have been the victim of "eye tests" but has actually been really really good analytically. Benning made trades and acquisitions in the opposite way- going by eye test and ignoring analytics and it went absolutely fcking horrendous for us. Kinda happy to see the Canucks taking this approach. Canucks D got younger, cheaper, faster, and better with this move. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our guys will wear down soo fast. Getting tired of being very reluctant to add tougher guys to the team. We seem to have an addiction to swiss army knife players... A little bit good at everything, Not great at anything. One of the reasons we are a team with no identity nor consistency imo Don't think this will be the roster that gets us into the playoffs. Plus, Dermott is over 200 pounds. He's only 6' tall, but has that low center of gravity hockey build. He will be better than OEL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70seven Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 We need a 3LD. Rathbone is not ready according to everything I’ve heard from Johnson. Likely yet another year old in the A upcoming. like the deal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also remember we have a bunch of new head office staff that pour over analytics. I'm sure there's a reason they targeted Dermott. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fringe playoff team and sells high on guys for a quick 2 year retool. We won't get anywhere near as lucky as them of course.. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when we get rid of our slow forwards and replace them with speedy guys that can punish off the rush, we'll be contenders. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best to have Bone play big minutes in Abby that bottom pair (and likely regress) up here. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop treating it like Christmas, it isn't. Hasn't been for a few years now. I'm surprised TSN and Sportsnet haven't scaled it back to one hour before and one hour after. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
