Don’t see how this can be argued at this point or the importance of resigning him

He’s gonna cost us 6.75 minimum.

Based on upside that’s not a terrible deal

And yet people still do. I laid out my case about as well as I could last week and it still wasn't enough, I guess.

Svech needs a new contract after next year, though. Given where 2nd contracts have gone lately, that won't be a low cost affair, either.
- MaximumBone


That's okay. You pay Svech whatever you need to and make it work from there.

There are extra pieces like Gardiner that should be replaceable from within on the cheap.

I cannot fathom an argument at this point in time that would convince me that Klefbom is better....a couple of years ago sure but now? Zero chance

I won't strawman HBs argument, but I didn't find it remotely convincing.

I used to think Klef was going to be a top pairing guy but now I see him at best a 2nd pairing guy who can be used on the PP

His results are painting him closer and closer to the Ristolainen mold.

Ah yes, the drop back to mediocrity. It's as sudden and precipitous as it is predictable. Same old Oilers.

Are you actually in Sayulita? We're heading back to PV at the end of January and plan on spending a couple of days up there.

Evidence continues to show that Drai & Nuge together just doesn't click. Maybe if given time to gel they could make it work, but I don't know that this team has the time to wait for that. If they're going to do that experiment, the 1st line needs to continue having nights like they did and Nuge and Drai need to shore up their mistakes and play low-event until they can figure it out.

As much as I malign him, Chiasson is about the only guy that has shown to play okay with both guys individually- maybe he's the guy to trial until the eventual addition of a speedy W (through trade, please).

Nygard- McDavid- Kassian
Draisaitl- Nuge- Chiasson
Khaira/Neal- Haas- Russell
Granlund- Sheahan- Arch

Reimer's comment on the McDavid penalty shot was pretty good.

"Yeah I must have intimidated him. I really scared him. He probably saw half the net and didn't know what to do."

Sounds like your boys are enjoying the experience this season. They seem pretty tight.

Or we could give Draisaitl his own line and put Nuge with McDavid.

They have a lot of fun. That's been the message from Brind'amour since he took over, too.

You're a bunch of millionaires working in show business. Work hard to stay there, but don't take it too seriously.

Except that Nygard-McDavid-Kassian line just produced a night of 21-2 Corsi events, 11-0 scoring chances and 7-0 high-danger chances. You need to at least test if it was a one-off or see if you might've just happened upon the right mix for a Draisaitl-less McDavid line.
