John, Kevin....all the same

I love seeing reactions to these roster decisions. Casual fans think this is picking the top 12 offensive forwards and always find some examples that are “absolutely ridiculous”. Such a naïve view. More knowledgeable observers understand that you are constructing a hockey team, not an all-star roster.

It would be perfectly reasonable if Team USA does not view Caufield as a top scoring left winger. Maybe the thinking is Kyle Connor and Brady Tkachuk are going to be our top two left wingers. So what type of winger do you want on a 3rd or 4th line. Caufield is small, he doesn’t kill penalties, he can’t take faceoffs, and isn't very responsible defensively. He’s good at scoring goals. That’s it. So maybe we’d prefer a bigger more versatile player for a bottom 6 role. Then you have a nuance like faceoffs. So maybe Matthews and Hughes are my top 2 centers, so a guy like Eichel is #3. Could be more of a shutdown line. If we slide a guy like Larkin onto the wing, then Eichel can cheat on the draw to gain an edge. If he gets tossed from the circle, Larkin slides in. Caufield can’t do that.

I have my popcorn ready to watch the overreactions...

I m curious where Taylor hall goes he has been playing better of late. Seems he has overcome the injury he suffered last year. Don't what the return would be. Most likely to a contender

Hey EK what say you?

Jim Rutherford on JT Miller rumours to Patrick Johnston : “Don’t start making stuff up on someone in his situation. That’s disrespectful,” he said. “People that do this for fun, or for a living, just go back to making up trade rumours.”

“No, we are not trading him. We stand by him.”

Dude, I get typo's. but how in the hell does John become kevin???

Kevin Gibson….famed co-creator of THE legendary guitar along with Les and Paul!

No team wants a 5 foot 6 inch ceram puff with defensive deficiencies and is a liability unless playing 3 on 3

sorry cream puff

Reminds me of the Seth Jones saga. There were E4 stories about Seth Jones will only accept a trade to Dallas because that's where he was born. Columbus is now totally handcuffed. This post got to Twitter. Seth Jones mother intervened saying this is 100% false. Seth wasn't raised this way. He respects Columbus and isn't making any demands. Whoever is making up these rumours to insult Seth's character should stop! A few days later he was traded to Chicago and Columbus received a pretty solid return.

Proororov and Fedtov say hi.

Kevin Gibson is one of my favorite goalies. Id say Thatrick Roy and Fartin Brodeur are the others

Cale Caulfield

Montreal should flip Cale Caulfield for Senguin out of Dallas. Then flip Segin with Kevin Gibson for a KakkoTrouba, which for those who don't know is a Japanese lizard.

Dude, I get typo's. but how in the hell does John become kevin???

This post was exceptionally impressive. Holy poop.

He got almost every players name wrong. PatriCk Laine, CAle Caufield, SenGuin, KEVIN Gibson, KakkoTrouba.

Crushed JT Miller though.

Tombstone & Caufeldt overlooked. They bringing in 2 over the hill NY Yankees in Toecheck & Tuba. Typical Yankees bias.

who is kevin gibson??
