No need to wait until then. His numbers say different. Plus he can learn from the best face off guy in the league (percentage speaking) right now.

AG is and will continue to be a fine NHL centre as long as he’s on the bottom two lines.

Just giving Reuby 2yrs to come around lol
In a perfect world AG becomes a legit 2c & that’s not a big stretch imo.

Thanks Carol

Our 2022/23 roster would look like this at center...

Pettersson
Zegras
Horvat


- Pacificgem

Zegras isn't a centre and don't need that soft skill poop.

Zegras 4 (spectacular) primary assists through 2 periods in only 4:44 TOI.


- DrChristianTroy

Where was he during the Canada game?

I saw Turcotte do a lot of board work and pass it to Zegras who made a spectacular Goldy like pass to a teammate for a goal.

Either you are Jim Benning or sloppy drunk.

SJ sinking like Codes hockeypool team, faster than a Middle Eastern sunset, time for Doug Wilson to rebuild. You've gotta pay for a kid like that, he had 75 points last year and he's headed for another 70+ point year.

Bo and Brock packaged would fetch a great return.

Doesn't bode well with Aquilini's 'get in and you can win' attitude.

Just not grossly over-pay, you imbecile. For f*ck sake, Lefty!

Brand new 8 year deals to Karlsson and Couture for 30 years olds.

(frank)in GM's will never learn. Primary years are right out of the ELC now. Old players used to get paid handsomely for what they'd done before, wise GM's will now sign guys to good contracts out of their ELC and then get rid of them in their late 20's.

In theory anyways.

Stuetzle’s awesome.

Yup, I like him.

lol what do you mean? I would have beat Vantel two weeks ago had i known about the stupid reset after a roster move, I beat Alcatraz last week, and am neck and neck with whitey this week. That hot dog water is clouding your memory old man

I think the Owners/GM's of the Cali teams are always reluctant to blow it up because they're afraid of losing the casual portion of their fanbases. Especially SJ and ANA since they had decent ticket sales before the last few years.

you'd have to overpay to get Hertl anyway

I don't know what's happening that far below me

Yeah it's a great theory. It just doesn't always work that way and I wouldn't be paying stars past 34.

Just pen a letter to the fans the same way Gorton did. Then do the opposite by signing Panny.

If I were a GM, I'd be a great one , I wouldn't ever pay anyone past the age of 33. Evander Kane's deal is perfectly fine with me. The kids a goal scorer and he'll be 33 the last year of his deal.

Scheifele and MacKinnon are two examples of smart deals out of an ELC.

- LordHumungous

I’m joking anyway. I just want to be part of the hysteria.

All indication is they are heading in the right direction. Just a lot of bumps and detours along the way so far. If JB was just a bit better at evaluating pro-talent we would be further ahead than we are now.

I find that irritating.
