Petey the Puck Whisperer Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 20 hours ago, N4ZZY said: Do you think if we had Guentzel for the playoff run, we'd get past Edmonton? Would a player like Guentzel have been the difference, and would he have helped Petey offensively? I'm hoping as well that Petey learned from this playoff run, and that he's better for it moving forward. If he's not, this team's in deep shit. any one of guentzel, or thatcher not being hurt gets us passed edmonton, also if petey actually showed up that woulda been great. Our wingers are not good. So happy we didnt sign lindholm for 7x7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 If this is true then he did the team a huge favour. He's not worth 7 million unless he plays like he did in the playoffs all of the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 21 hours ago, HKSR said: How would everybody feel if we circled back to Lindholm now and re-signed him to a $7.5m x 7 deal? I'd be pissed. Committing long term to an inconsistent player who the team needed to shelter by placing him on a third line to feast on others team is not worth 7 million nor deserves a long term contract like that. You'd be praying that whole contract that he doesn't revert back to last year and the year before's play. Give that money to somebody that can drive play.

Not just that, he declined CGY’s offer which was more than ours. Let him go for the big money, Blueger is our 3C and we can find a true sniper for EP somewhere. Raty or someone else gets a chance as 4C. It’s just evolution of this franchise in this window and money allocated more efficiently. Liked Lindholm a lot but not worth the overpay risk if he decides to revert back to previous form. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't sense or feel like he wanted to be here after the trade was made. Kinda was here because he had to be, but he wasn't one of those players that wanted to be a Canuck. Let Boston have him and overpay for him. I'm not certain he's going to live up to any contract he signs wherever he goes. It might be one of those contracts that the team has to either buy out in a couple of years or attach a sweetener to for a trade. I could be wrong, of course, but he's been declining for a few seasons now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think us wanting to flip him again to try and land Guentzel may have rubbed him the wrong way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of energy (gassed) in games 6 & 7 was the problem. The travel to and from Nashville probably didn't help. Younger stars who haven't played in the playoffs much before was problematic too (noting that JT was great throughout). QH looked really gassed by the end.

Even though he wouldn't admit it at the end-of-season presser, I'm pretty sure he's had his own laundry list of injuries alongside various aches and pains. ie. I don't think it was just fatigue that impacted his play/how he appeared. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silovs was good and wasn't why we lost but delusional think a healthy Demko instead isn’t an improvement either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
