McCann would have scored

Wasn’t that the season that the Panthers went all nerdy analytics in the front office? I bet they (Canucks) could have plucked him off the waiver wire at the start of the season instead of trading for him in the summer.

Slippy is way too busy to worry about a lightweight like Linden. You are firmly in his cross hairs though.

I get it, you gotta go through the pawns to get the king.

Not exactly like you had to go full nerd to realise Gudbranson sucked and was coming to the expensive part of his career.

Jeez, deep dive into Eriksson's season so far. He's over 64% O-zone starts (the level people criticized the Twins for getting as it was "too easy") and he's barely playing any PK. And by barely I really mean it. Averaging 8 seconds a game.

Would it surprise you to hear that his impact on offence has cratered even further somehow too?

He sucks

Just watched the high lights, whats this gudbranson doing a bobby orr rush and brock almost scoring , so if brock scores the conversation sounds different on gudbranson
- Bettmanhatesus

That was a nice play but anyone who changes their opinion about a player’s game based on 1 or 2 shifts or changes their opinion based on the most recent 5 games, is not a bright fan

He sucks

DURR ANYONE COULD SCORE WITH THOSE O-ZONE STARTS DERRRPPPPP!!!!

Oh I guess not.

I believe the argument was the almost anyone could produce the same net value. Even less offense than the Sedins is gone as long as you don’t bleed goals/scoring chances against like they did due to their lack of speed

WURST CONTRACT EVAR

The height is irrelevant, that was my point, I was just responding in regards to your "Where you expecting offence from a 6’5 dman?". The DNA of Burns and Gudbranson are completely different in how they play. Anyone expecting offensive contributions from him are crazy. Its nearly the same way we don't expect it from Tanev. Objectively, the question remains, if he wasn't brought in for his offense, what was he brought in for, and is he exceeding or living up to those expectations. That is where people can objectively say whether or not they like Gudbranson. If you hate Gudbranson because he doesn't put up points, well, then you hate him for all the wrong reasons imo.

And when I say "you", I meant people in general, not specifically you Donny. I know you like him lol

Burns played as a forward for months over 2 seasons when his D game sucked and was very effective. A toatally different animal.

Those guys who were supposed to go top 10 and somehow fall to you at 24 or 32 are always great picks.instead of "I can't believe he's stil there at x" GM's should be asking "why is this kid still available, what are we missing".
- 1970vintage

Why isn't anybody taking Kole Lind?

how come slip and slappy goes full on blind rage at me for objectively disliking Gudbranson based on comprehensive and objective dislike for his defense, but you get to say this, and you won't even get a slap on the wrist.

Height bias

I’m betting it has something to do with you being short.
