I’d have traded Fox long ago, you know that. Too late now. Gavrikov is a great pick up it just isn’t showing right now. They’re a good pair
Yurov is untouchable I think. Puckpedia guys go bonkers if you ask for him. That’s why I bring up Stramel. I don’t know why you’re so against him. If he’s numbers went down in his 4th year I’d be worried, but they’ve gone up. He’s blowing past last years numbers. Big centers don’t grow on trees.
Btw, even Jimmy can’t stand to talk to me anymore 🤣I think he’s done with Drury too. I’m faithful I guess
It’s always one thing that holds them back. The old Hank era teams it was killer instinct, the latest era was the leadership sucked. And kids not developing was definitely a big part of it. In theory playing the kids on a 3rd line should’ve worked but for some reason it just never really popped (laf and Kakko specifically). They both are decent players but no where even close to the expectations. Drury gets too much blame for that imo. The previous scouting was worse than it is now. It’s a shame Chytil kept getting hurt because he was the best of the bunch as far as game changing ability. I hope he does well but I worry he may have to retire too soon. How does Vancouver commit to him after this deal
I realize that lol. I’m alone. It’s mostly what choice do I have. I love this team. I’m not an idiot to know he hasn’t been great. I just think this new era he’s approaching is different than the pressure of being a contender…when in reality they really never were. It took me awhile to get there but I’m there now
I’m giving him a clean slate basically
As far as the scoring, I think Sullivan was ok trying to win low scoring games and having them just be better defensively overall, as a team. They were doing that. Until they weren’t
I like the way Mika and miller have played since Perrault came. I think it’s a good thing heading into next year. The 3rd line has some promise. It’s the second line that will need an extreme makeover. You guys just can’t seem embrace Mika anymore, and obviously Miller will never be liked apparently. But they have chemistry, all 3 of them. Perrault needs more time and it will be a legit top 6 line
