I got thrown the same shit last season for being level headed into FA and we had our best season in over a decade. Still not concerned despite the whining and shit throwing today. This is a well balanced lineup and man are Heinen and DeBrusk ever a pain in the dick to play against. Ask Höglander about Forborts battles too. Sherwood is also hard to play against he really stood out for nashville overall they are super smart signings overall for our team and we still age. Space to operate and cap flexibility our team is being run very well it’s impressive im looking forward to seeing it all come together in the ice now 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need size and I hated him in Edmonton because he was a guy I felt was on the watch/ready to "intervene". Now he's on our side so woo. I loved him in Edmonton because he was so bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-dlc- Posted Monday at 09:26 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:26 PM 13 minutes ago, Wing said: Now that I'm seeing the cost of other depth d signings around the league. I think 2M for this guy is a bit of an overpayment. Leafs got Hakanpaa for 1.5Mx2 who's also a big RD defenseman. Is Desharnais 500k better? Desharnais is also 5 years younger so that matters (around here anyhow). Hakanpaa's 32 years old or, in Canuck fan years, geriatric and ready for a walker and a retirement home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted Monday at 09:26 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:26 PM 1 minute ago, R3aL said: True. And this is how RT wants to play he wants big long nasty back end so makes sense Fast forwards. Big D with 2 puck movers. Not a bad compliment of players to strive for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ‘bet’ is that Hughes and Hronek bring the speed and offensive acumen. The rest, train wreck their opponents. This is the way. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re more likely to get threatened with action if you advise against signing 6th dmen to 5x6 deals and stand your ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also play harder and are a pain to play against. Leafs are happy Debrusk is out of their conference. He killed them a lot in the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest, train wreck their opponents. This is the way. You need speed on other pairings too, as well as puck moving so you don't get hemmed in your own zone every time certain pairings are out there. We will have to address this during the season.

PistolPete13 Posted Monday at 09:32 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:32 PM 53 minutes ago, Pickly said: Myers was a so called turnover machine up until having competent coaching so let’s reserve judgment until we see what Foote and Tocchet can do with this guy. Maybe just maybe Zadorov didn’t want to re sign in Vancouver. Fans needs to get over the fact that just because it’s Vancouver is isn’t an entirely attractive market to play in. Agreed. Loved Zads, but he is now on his sixth team. Vancouver and four other teams couldn’t come to terms with NZ. Maybe he’s just a player who’s looking for a bigger role then teams are willing to give him. How long before he chafes at the minutes that Montgomery is willing to play him in Beantown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonchar and Foote could get this guys to stop turning pucks over I'll be super happy about it. Looking forward to what the coaching staff can do with this team next year.
