Hughes is just better, controls the game more, and there is no dman in the Pacific that measures up to him. Drance insinuated that? Then why didn't he just put Hughes as his #1 vote? What the heck? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't insinuate it. He literally said it. I can't speak for Drance, but I mentioned the reason he gave for giving Karlsson his vote in that paraphrasing. There are very likely other dmen that he thinks are better than Hughes. He was just comparing Hughes to the other Pacific division dmen. While he thinks Hughes is a better all-around dman than Karlsson, as you know, the Norris hasn't always gone to the best all-around dman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wanted to clarify - everything I wrote in that post was a paraphrasing of what Drance said on his show. None of that was my own opinion.

I was so happy to see Subban play 2 full minutes on PP because our PK was awesome... and when he never left the ice on the PK we scored alot on our second PP unit.

Elias Pettersson Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Kyle Dubas Still Pursuing Erik Karlsson in Trade for the Penguins (msn.com) Despite recent signings on the defensive front, Dubas reportedly continues to pursue Karlsson. One of the significant reasons for their interest lies in Karlsson’s potential to revitalize the team’s underachieving power play, which has struggled for quite some time. Karlsson’s arrival would provide the Penguins with a reliable point man, known for his exceptional distribution and playmaking abilities. His presence would greatly benefit the team’s zone entries and enhance the overall performance of the power play unit. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A GM talking , on the record, specifically about a player under contract to another team as a trade target is tampering. Just ask Benning how that worked out for him when he expressed interest in Subban and Stamkos 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammertime Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Would they do Eriksson for Myers + Brock? Serious here. I know I know we would have Eriksson for 11.5 for 2 years the same years as the big OEL penalty. I feel like at that point we should be getting a big push from our pipeline. Guys like Lekkerimaki, Wally, D Petey, Bains, Raty, Klim, Bloom and the cap going up we should be able to make it work. Sousy Karlsson Hughes Cole Brisbois Hronek With some good depth in Hirose, McWard, Johansen, Wolainen, Woo, Rathbone, Juulson. We could play track meets. And still have a respectable PK with Sousy, Cole, Breezer back there. It's not really conventional but in true Canuck fashion we would be a hell of a regular season team. Probably draw a lot of PPs catching guys flat footed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJockitch Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 But why, The Avalanche are probably the only team that need him less than us. We traded a fortune for OEL a player that needed the same opportunities that Quinn had taken. Now we should add Karlsson, a player that needs the same opportunities that Quinn controls. Would be crazy fun D to watch though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought of two years forward when Willander and DPetey is on the team and the OEL penalty is worst. Sousy Karlsson Hughes Hronek DPetey. Willander is there any team in NHL with a better RHD side than that? Edited July 6, 2023 by Timråfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
