McDavid, Hall, Draisaitl, Eberle, RNH, Nurse, Klefbom and Sekera(NMC)

He needs no protection if I recall.

Suck my Richard.

I hope they go the 8 skaters 1 goalie route. I don't think Nurse needs protection but I could be wrong. Klefbom and Sekera will need to be though.

McDavid is so good its scary. If he wasnt hurt this past season, everyone would be talking about him being the "next one".

He is the only thing that has made this last decade worth enduring.

Yeah good point.

Anybody know when they release the regular season schedule?

Ummmm what are you talking about?

1. I never mentioned anything about enforcers
2. I never mentioned Strome as secondary scoring
3. I never mentioned Martin
4. I never mentioned Pulock

Was this for someone else?

Just in general and I almost was gonna start with not directed at you we were talking about Nelson being physical or lack thereof of and I was saying he doesn't need to play that way nor do we need martin. We need skill and speed cause that's how the pens won and how Tampa was so good. Strome has that ability and pulock for hall while hall would be great I still don't like losing him. My a.d.d. kicked in

What if I got chief to suck it for hall?

You don't think he needs to be more physical when along the boards battling for pucks or playing D along the boards? Playing physical is just not hitting like Martin.

I'd take Bailey for a Chiefy bj, but you're not getting Hall for one.

He said he would do it for a 7th but we'll throw in Bailey anyway

Gotcha. Well I think youre confusing physical play with just hitting. Cizikas is the perfect example here. He's just phucking tenacious. You want guys that are gonna go into the corner for the puck and come out with it. Physical doesnt just mean fighting or laying someone out. I think the penguins were on the puck and just wanted it more. I dont think Strome has that ability.

whats amazing is EDM still managed to suck. But McDavid Is pretty Amazing, He looks like he could be best we have seen in long time.

Could you imagine what we would be saying on this board if Islanders sucked for that long.

OK physical yes strong on the puck yes winning puck battles yes. All players need that element. Martin was just a byproduct of how we don't need his type of play to win and he's expendable to bring in more talent. Again a.d.d kicked in and I went through a few topics. That reminds me how many people with a.d.d. does it take to change a light....wanna ride bikes

I'm aware of the difference I didn't think I needed to describe it but I can see how the two would be linked with Martin and how I said it

I agree about Martin but I just like having that type of player around just in case but that's just me I'm old school

- Wildschwein

So whats the deal with Nurse. Dude was dominant in the WJC 2(?) years ago.
Is he making progress? Think he will eventually be a top pairing?
