I think there's more offense in his tank than he's shown too, and he is versatile, can play either wing, and he's got a good shot and passing too. He's another defensive forward, but he does have upside IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Isn't Bjork a bit long in the tooth to play with Hughes? I mean, she's almost 58 year old.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great player, but we need a different type. I think back to Karlsson's best years in Ottawa and his partner Methot. Hughes needs a Methot type.

There's a good number of pending UFA's this summer that would suit as short-medium term stop gaps there, as a "defensive, gritty guys who covers his own end" of assorted abilities/price ranges... Pesce is probably at the top, then Zaitsev, Tanev and Lyubushkin. There's Hakanpaa as well, but he's getting up there and his skating isn't ideal. There's also Zadorov (lefty but plays right). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came 5th in Norris while getting over double the points of his career high. A year like that should have seen him better then 5th if he was worth a first round pick, a former top 10 pick, and a promising young goalie. I give it a slim to zero chance Morrissey recreates his season from last year, and wouldn't be even worse on a team behind Hughes getting pp1 time. That trade would terrible for us. He may be worth that to another team, but he is 100% not the player we use all our assets to acquire. But yeah sure, let's blow our load to buy high. That never backfires for a middling team.

There is no load being blown to begin with. Silvos is a promising young goalie? He didn't even crack the roster. Podkolzin just got sent back down to the minors and people are starting to throw the B word around. Maybe he can refind his game at some point, but at this point he has little to no trade value. A top 7 protected first round draft pick? That isn't quite as valuable as people think... especially if we become a playoff team. Do you really think this gets you an 80 point defenseman who makes $6.25M for several more seasons that is good defensively. It is not even close. We are not even in the right ballpark. I bet we could call up Winnipeg and offer them 4 unprotected 1st rounders and they would hang up the phone. I don't doubt he will regress (perhaps heavily) statistically next year.... but how far will he fall? 50 points? 40 points? I don't care if he gets zero Norris votes next year.... if we could add him to our team for that "load" then we would be idiots not to do it. Go post this proposal on the Winnipeg Forum and see what people say. It's outright delusion and should be called out as such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
