interesting comparison.
- wcorvette


Eric Desjardins in his prime was an elite defenseman and a top 5 defenseman in the NHL. It is extremely doubtful that York gets to that level.

So let’s see…..

Fletcher gave Couturier that contract
Traded for Ellis
Traded for Atkinson
Traded for Ristolainen.

🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡

A titan of the hockey industry. Hoping he is back on TV for the playoffs so he can grace us with his infinite wisdom.

Exactly what somebody with small Richard energy would say, bravo

The fact you’re even on my Richard size is weird.

Would it please you to know?

Looks like Couturier will be scratched again tonight.

He was a very good, solid do everything well, D man. Obviously Desjardins was not an elite talent but to me was still a star level guy. I think that’s the ceiling….wishful thinking but it’s not like Desjardins blossomed before he got to Philly. His best years were here. Yorks progress this year is super encouraging.

One that doesn't get talked about enough is trading Hartman for a replacement player.
- Tomahawk


Hartman for Pitlick
Radko Gudas for Matt Niskanen
Gustafsson (50% retained) for a 7th
Myers and Patrick for Ryan Ellis
Gostisbehere, a 2nd and a 7th for Nothing
Hagg, a 1st, 2nd for Ristolainen
2nd, 3rd, 4th for DeAngelo

Don't forget he then extended Risto and traded 3 picks for Tony DeAngelo and paid him $5M

So I guess the plan is to strip the captaincy off because the HC believes Coots is not a top 12 fwd anymore if this continues. Sounds messy.

Gudas for Niskanen was actually a pretty good trade.

Once again showing how little you know; it's really sad! Desjardins was a very good defenseman and an all-star, but he never finished higher than 4th in Norris voting, so he was far from an elite defenseman. York absolutely has a chance to be as good as Desjardins.

LMAO, if a player finishes in the top 5 in his position in the voting for best defenseman in the league, he's not an elite player? He was also a two time 2nd team NHL all star. You're a complete idiot.

you are underrating Desjardin big time. he was a legit #1 dman, for a long time.

No. Friedman reports that the issue torts has with coots is related to “pace”. I guess he’s not skating hard enough or something..🤪. I suspect this is the first coots is hearing about it too

It's scary that someone would post an idiotic opinion of one person and think that it indicates what Boston thinks about Pasternak. To think that it represents a true sense. The only true sense it shows is how foolish you are.

Does this look familiar to you?

Probably would have been if he didn't just straight up retire during Covid.

Makes sense, I have been posting for quite a while Couts is consistently behind the play.

I'm not going to blame the GM for a player unexpectedly and suddenly retiring.

Not underrating him at all. He was a very good defenseman and was a #1 defenseman for the Flyers. But let's not make him more than he was in his prime. He was not elite.
