How is the French defence man looking ?

To be completely fair we were missing 2 30 goal scorers, one of the best goalies, some regulars and some guy called Taylor Hall

He looks good. He's very comfortable and even capable on defense. One thing he needs to work on is when to pinch and how far

Nice would much rather someone like him really surprise then having to rely on which versions of John Merril, Brandon Gormaley and John Moore show up. How has Santini been ? He has played the last two games ? Or a few anyways?

I haven't noticed him all too much except for a body check or two. I guess that's good for a defensively minded player.

McIlrath challenged Santini to a fight and Santini ran away like a baby

Well at first tough guy Mcilrath challenged our 18 year old first round draft pick skill guy. Very tough. Im sure if Gazdik went after buch, you wouldnt be too happy. Santini isnt a fighter, while Mcilrath is a goon...

Haha good point. but in all fairness, he isnt a fighter, and mcilrath is. He kept going after people last night who arent fighters too...

Yeah not great. I think wood looked good. McCloud showed flashes. Zacha had a bad first, but came on in the second and third. Wedgewood had a bad game. Mozik didnt look good. I think santini and auvituu were ok tho. Although auvituu isnt a kid.

wish we kept our 3rd round pick and just signed Pirri. Bennett looked awful out there

I'm not saying we would certainly beat you with all things equal, but it would be a completely different game, no?

Indeed they did. Your guys did well, though. I didn't expect Vesey to be so strong too. He may win the Art Ross yet

I really liked Frenchie's game. Looks like a legit puck mover and very good passer. Would love to see him make the team. Mozik looked pretty decent too. I didn't think Santini was particularly good and Greene looked like he struggled all night (which is kind of scary).

Whoever said we should have signed Pirri and not wasted the third on Bennett - I had the exact same thought. I'm not going to give up on Beau him after one playoff game, but Brandon looks like a smart pickup by the Rangers. They got a lot of 'free' offense this year in Pirri in Vesey.

Yes!... but I struggle with that name so I sorta block it out of my mind.

I've been seeing a lot of rumors about Trouba and people keep mentioning the Devils being in the mix. That said, there have been some crazy speculation like Trouba for Zacha & Blackwood and others have been more realistic imo (that said I am biased so I am probably undervaluing things). What about this:

Trouba for Santini, their choice of Merrill or Moore, and a 1st (conditional on making it to the playoffs - if we fail it turns to our 2nd).

This gives Winnipeg a LHD that they can play right now, one of our best defensive prospects, and a high draft pick. I think this would be a lot fairer than the Zacha & Blackwood speculation I read before.
