I think bailey and baptiste will be better than armiia


and that is not meant to big a dig at armia

- homiedclown

Honest question, did anyone, including Murray think Armia was as good as he is defensively?

I think that works against average to below average teams like Winnipeg. We have enough talent to beat teams like this.

I still think in order to TRULY compete with the better teams, they need a few more pieces.

It also could be simple addition by subtraction. Maybe giving Girgensons a real shot has woke him up.

Maybe replacing Bogosian with Guhle next year gives a bump. Baptiste replacing D lo or Grant

Dude- nobody has ever said this version of the team will win a cup. But this version of the team can be good. Not worldbeaters. Good.

The last three games disagree.

The team that played the last three games will win one series and then get swept. But winning a series would be great for the city.

Last 3 I agree. The 7 before that.....

I don't know. I still think they lack a ton. But there are a few guys really playing well. 28, 82, 9 was until a few games ago.

I think unless they go on a serious run of 7 or 8 they become sellers.

Which is fine. Just look like a competent hockey team. The Eichel injury very well could be the reason they miss

If we are more than 5 points out I hope Murray is a seller. And even if we are only 2 points out i hope he gets something for Franson and Gionta (assuming Gionta waives his no trade). No hate against Gionta it's just we might as well get something for him before the TDL. I think vets like Franson and Gionta will be in high demand. We might be able to get a 2nd/3rd rounder for each of them. Plus with Gionta gone, we can bring up Baptiste. Replace Franson with one of Falk or Fedun.

Agreed. 5 points or more, sell.

They won't be impossible to move, but nobody is paying (frank) all for Franson.

Oakland just giving the game to Houston. Won't even try throwing. That's not how you win with a 3rd stringer. Go balls out. Go out big, or win big.

Have you ever watched former Sabre D-man Mike Weber play? His play ranged from average to brutal with most of the time closer to the latter. Last year the Capitals gave up a 3rd for him. Franson is definitely better than Weber. Teams are always looking to get bigger and add depth with defencemen at the TDL. Don't be surprised when you see Franson go for at least a 4th, likely a 3rd and maybe even a second. Only two years ago, the Preds gave the Leafs a 1st for him.

I would like to see a 4th line of Bailey Carrier and Baptiste for a few games. See what a line of all speed could do. I know they are all wingers, but I don't care.

Lightning lost, so there's one team they gained on today.

We just watched the finale the other day and it was full of flashback stuff - one epic one was Red giving his "foot up your ass!" speech about 10 times back to back.
