Edler doesn't play RD. Might as well sign Hamonic for less. If you're trading Schmidt its in package for Seth Jones give him the Hamilton cap/term.
- NuckUp

Exactly. Bye Edler.

And Schmidt isn't going anywhere lol. Coach and GM will want to assess his play over and actual 82 game schedule in a non 'covid' year.

I like Haakanpa and your Bryson suggestion.

I know what most people would say but would you trade Loui for PK? They both have one year left . You get a RHD for one year at 3 mil
- VANTEL

No. Hopefully Hughes falls to us or Clarke and if not we are probably stuck with Mactavish. According to the champs we already have locker room issues don't need more with PK here lol

He been on 4 different NHL teams in the last 6 years BUT played 4 of those years in the AHL - on 4 different teams.....Yeah he's exactly what this team needs
- Brooks_Light

I said Canuck should look at him as a # 7 1x1 contract . Same as a Luke Schenn

I was over 2011 loss in 2012 lol
Never disliked them just have one team. I enjoy good hockey & usually like the under dog.

They are going to need to fill out the defense roster with someone.

he wont make a difference one way or another until you need someone to step in and fight.

When Carlo went down they called in Tinordi. If Hamonic goes down call in Tinordi.

Exactly. Bye Edler.

- LordHumungous

Exactly. Last season wasn’t good & worse to assess some players.

Being the challenges were difficult & the results very poor it’s not the time to over judge.

Nice coaching moves but will take some time to implement. A real off season & no PO’s can be a blessing. Must take advantage of it. Looking forward to see how prospects push to make the team. Time they impact & push out vets.

The defense needs to get bigger, if this team wants to get better.

- Reubenkincade

Bigger yes as in defensive D to compliment the young lefties. The kids gotta dictate in their own way by being fast decision makers & crisp break outs or start the rush. Team D overall will be the key & with Pod coming that’s a big add. More from everyone will be important. Fast transition & being lethal will keep other teams aggression more in check. Beat the forecheck be #1.

Why are you so anti defence and your love for Sutter is starting to show again.

Some think I am opposed to small/light players, which i am not, I am just not a fan of having a big part of the roster filled with them.

I take flak from posters for raising how I want the team to get bigger, but nary a word is said when others want to draft or acquire more of the small/lightweight guys, so I will continue to beat that drum.

Really? I havent seen anyone who opposes being bigger and stronger?? At this point it just sounds like you're arguing with yourself.

Nucker (frank)ed it up, made it into weird conversation that doesn't involve much into drafting.

Plus I added my final rankings that I shockingly am disappointed in when looking back but without my website I will need to find a better way.

You got a link for this, because the only stats I can find are how the defense ranks bottom 6 in many different stats.

I argue with myself, that way I know I can win at least 1 argument.
