well, we want to build a winning team don’t we? no place for him imho, laser shot or not
…
????yes Fido, I agree about building a winning team, that’s why I said I wouldn’t sign him long term loll.
you want him gone, I get it ????
how many teams in the final 4 did see the past few years had a PP specialst they can’t use on the top6?
yeah, I didn’t mention anything about contending teams or whatever, just that he’ll find a deal somewhere.
I’ll take that for a no lol
he’s a frustrating player loll…
I wouldn’t sign him on a long-term deal or for 8M per again for sure but if I could keep him somehow as a PP specialist I wouldn’t mind.
my point is, there aren’t a ton of players around the league that have the kind of shot he has, and just for that he’ll get a contract somewhere guaranteed.
would you give him a new contract?
a good ol’ sign and trade…
we’ll see. I hope you are right and that he’ll have a fantastic season (contract year for him).
I just don’t see it. too useless at 5×5.like I said, his 5 on 5 play may have sucked but he still helped the team make the playoffs last year, can’t deny that. any guy who can score 20 to 30 goals or more will find a job somewhere in the NHL for sure.
that’s already the case Pat, otherwise he’d be gone
yeah, like him or not, the guy can score goals. I don’t see it that way, bygones.
lol, wise man you are
here’s what it could look like
Caufield Suzuki Slaf
Bolduc Evans Demidov
Newhook Beck Dach
Anderson Veleno Gallylike I said you can switch the centers around but to me this is a better lineup that what they’re currently trying with Dach and Newhook at center.
also that 2nd line is terrible (Laine Dach Demidov). poor kid
like you I wouldn’t put a ton of money we’ll see that lineupand in that scenario I guess Laine is so bad that he just gets benched and walks away for nothing because no one wants him anymore?
he can’t win a faceoff Pat! and doesn’t really know what to do in the dzone either. oh sure they can try him at center, but they’re not a better team by doing so.
bah, faceoffs and dzone positioning are things that guys can work on and improve. I’m not saying I’d put a ton of money on him succeeding but I find he should get a legit shot at it, he’s missed a lot of hockey and it could work out if he finally gets his shit together and stays healthy.
