Big Mac. You know what you’ll get and you don’t have a coach relying on you based out of hope you’ll play up to the reason you’re still on the roster. Joshua is inconsistent and relatively ineffective. He should be a spark plug but unfortunately more of a disappointment. Again if he had a stronger skill set and utilized it then his roster spot would make sense. To me, he’s just there by default right now for lack of other plausible options Edited October 19, 2023 by RWJC 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see what others do in Joshua, shows up when he feels like it. I'd rather have a legit deterrent on the roster. Joshua can't even fight. He literally bear hugs guys every time. We legit don't even have one fighter on the roster. I'd rather have MacEwen on the roster than Beauvillier.

Both are fringe NHLers, but I’d argue we need more of what McEwen brings, especially when you have Joshua slotted into that specific role. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He plays at a consistent level to be an average or less than average NHL player. We don’t have much of that in the system, therefore he’s on the roster. You replace Beau, Garland and Myers with accurate role players in those positions and this team looks much better (on paper anyway). Eg. Two more Lafferty’s and one Zadorov Edited October 19, 2023 by RWJC 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he isn't scoring, he's a waste of a roster spot. So, although he brings more scoring than MacEwen, Beau brings nothing else to the table and cannot be on the 3rd line. At least with MacEwen, you can slot him in on the 4th line and he will give you 8-10 hard minutes a night. Same with Ryan Reaves. Beauvillier honestly does nothing on the 3rd line and at this point is a liability not an asset to this team... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of this group I'd prefer Harkins, and even he is moot with Blueger returning unless we moved one of Garland or Beauvillier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1st was the win for me cause it got us Hronek, Beauvillier was a bonus and now even with better linemates and still inconsistent a good deadline piece to move for a decent rental return for someone. If the truth is Garland hasn't asked for a trade I would still much rather move Beauvillier if I'm honest. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacEwen isn't Ryan Reaves, but I bet he would beat the snot out of Dakota Joshua. Joshua would most likely bear hug him and hang on to him like he did in the Edmonton game with Desharnais. Meanwhile, MacEwen went toe to toe with Nurse and was about to pound him hard before Nurse pulled an MMA takedown on him... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I first saw Zack and Young Guns in Penticton. He brings a lot of energy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather over pay to try and pry Pezzetta out of Montreal than claim an overpaid more useless player in MacEwen. Settling for aa shit player for mediocre "toughness" and an overpaid punching bag with term is beyond dumb for this team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 I'd take Big Mac over Garland and Beauvillier. They have a combined 1 point. Goodness me, Big Mac also has 1 point this season. He's matching their combined output. At least people don't see Big Mac and think "hey, I should face wash and shove this guy." I don't care if he doesn't score, at least when he's on the ice other players aren't waiting to push him around. Garland and Beau aren't scoring AND they're getting bullied. Time to goon it up. 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take both Joshua and Studnicka over him and one of them is getting scratched as soon as Blueger is healthy. and just because he will fight doesn't mean he can fight. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
