I was a bit down on the logo given Abby took it already, but this should be a good look. Excited to see it. I like that they used the orginal Johnny Canuck, not the modernized one, since Abby is already using it, and hence not retro enough. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly; lets see what he can do on the 3rd pair. If this were my lineup, I'd put Burroughs in over Stillman. Having a guy that can take a couple shifts for Schenn on the 1st pair would be great given NJ's team speed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJockitch Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 They look like have too many good right D and are short a scoring RW. Hmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myers will play like a top 2 shutdown defenseman 1 game then play like a fringe AHL’er the next. I’m hoping Bear proves to be largely more consistent than Myers. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably worth a try on the go fwd. My only issue is would Myers and Hughes mesh? My initial guess would be no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't try to know what's going on with the players or the coaching staff ... so just blindly trust they know what they are doing lol... but do understand that making line changes, can be about trying to find lightning in a bottle. So far we haven't been able to do that, other then create some somewhat solid lines. Bruce and JR want to create long term lines .., to do that we need the right players and not sure we've got that. Maybe Miller Horvat and Garland works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are close, the fact that Bear is 7 years younger and less than a 1/3 of the price almost makes him better based on value and upside alone. You never know what Myers you're going to get night in a night out. Of course Bear has been basically off a couple years after a covid battle so there is unknown there...but's he's young and cheap.

Playing him 28+min as has been the case results in the lack of consistency. Unless we want to be the oilers, we need to devlop 3 pairings that eat minutes; 23-25/20-24/15-17 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
