Bruh Zberg wasn’t a good skater

Why

Filip Zagina man. He’s gonna get a lot of Vadina

This must be killing you, he’s your boy. f*** him. He’s a poser and the devil will strike him.

In Jonas’ world you give up a 1st round and your balls if you can land Ryan.

No vets = crack cocaine

Cant wait to stir s*** up about AA this season. Aye @Neomaxizoomdweebie? All good I know you ain’t the type to get butthurt over it. And Howard. @Jonas Mahonas better be ready cuz I’m coming to argue with yo ass. We will monitor how Mrazek performs and someone (most likely me) will make a “told you so thread”. @DickieDunn will trash talk Trashill at some point and want some sort of Trash to be taken out. The anti-trash hipsters will stop his efforts. Everyone here will bust over Zadina’s first goal. Even if it’s not that good.

Worse than Edmonton’s shyte roster years ago. Need at least 2-3 more vets on there and it’s fine. Green, Nielsen and one of Abdelkader or Helm.

Intelligent response.

Intelligent response.

When do people expect this guy to make the roster? seriously

Oh please, if I really wanted to troll I would decimate you. Any shade I throw here is a fraction. Go lookup hockeyfights.com. I rekt havoc there from 2005-2009. I also destroyed people in the political forums there so bad that the mod “Vodkafish” had to permanently remove the politics forum and he sent me a message on AIM (remember that messenger) to cut that s*** out. The posters there were all anti-Red Wings and deserved it.

Would of came out 5 years ago.

EAT CROW @LeftWinger

If really want another player that’s not a younginn then I would want us to get someone through free agency the way we got Mike Green. Some 30 year old that has about 2-3 years left of good hockey. For example Pieterangelo is a UFA by then. Like if the young players aren’t good enough then we gotta get a good defenseman thru free agency as they start becoming available. But resigning older dudes wouldn’t help.

Double post

Get ready

My best case scenario is this: Green, Kronwall, Daley stick around this year and Cholo, Hronek, Hickets make the cut and get a lot of games in this season, At least 20 games each at some point due to injuries and call ups. Next year I hope 1-2 of them steal some jobs, preferably all 3 but doubtful. Eventually 2 of Green, Daley, Ericsson sent off during trade deadline of 2019/20 season. We re-sign one of them for a year or two. If I had to pick it would be Green. In the mean time we will have 2 more years of solid drafts hopefully with 1-2 promising defensemen. Maybe we get lucky and end up with a great defensive pick. And if we're extremely lucky we land a defenseman through a trade which makes everything even better for us. 20-21 our defensive core would be something like Hronek- Green Cholo- Dekeyser Hicketts - Jensen Saarijarvi, Lindstrom, McIsaac etc Your veterans at this point would be DK, Green, Jensen. Your young players entering primes would be Hronek, Cholo, Hicketts.

Had Green not been resigned I'd keep Daley as Kronwall exits. But with Green on the books for 2 years. No point.

This was your quote in the other thread when you were raving about Daley: "Because he is arguably the best overall D on the team, on a team with crappy D. Assuming there are 1 maybe 2 rookies on the blue line this season, why put them in a worse situation? Plus Daley is a solid 2 way dman on a good contract with a Stanley Cup pedigree. Exactly the kind of guy I want playing with the kids." To me this insinuates that you must think highly of him. He happened to win Stanley cup with Sidney Crosby. Maybe it made sense to have him when he was first signed and there was still some hope of being a playoff team again; not to mention Kronwall was projected to LTIR around the time he was signed. But we're not a playoff team and we're not even close. It no longer makes sense to keep him around esp with Green resigned and Kronwall still outproducing him. Daley should be traded and so should either one of Ericsson or Dekeyser. For the record if Green wasn't resigned I would have no prob with Daley sitting on the roster. Just having 4 ******* defensive veterans on the roster makes absolutely no sense right now. And you're saying Daley and Nielsen are a benefit. What benefit does Daley bring that Kronwall and Green don't already do? I'd honestly like specific examples because I gave you specific examples. (Kronwall's open ice hitting, his ability to persevere and still outproduce some defenseman, he's an assistant captain etc etc). FYI Kronwall ended up outproducing Daley. So did Green. Green signing makes Daley obsolete. Maybe it wouldn't have if we were a contender and a veteran's playoff experience can make or break your team under moments of pressure. But having 5 veterans on defense (Green, Kronwall, Ericsson, Daley, Dekeyser) does absolutely no good for young players actually getting on ice for the NHL and experiencing a simple NHL season game.. Daley is best served playing for a contending team. I presume he will most likely get sent off during the trade deadline and may have another shot at the cup. Green was almost sent off if it wasn't for his injury. And between Rass and Helm; at this point it's a no brainier. If Rass is good enough to play in the NHL, I pick Rass. If this was 2008; I pick Helm. What does Helm being in the deep end in 2018 do anything for us? Win us a Stanley Cup? No. Helm is about as replaceable as any 3rd/4th liner in the league. In fact Helm would be the perfect trade chip. He's a veteran that actually still has some value since he's not super old. Anways; case and point in regards to the Rass/Helm situation is Tyler Bertuzzi. Had Blashill continued to play Abdelkader with Zetterberg would Bertuzzi have evolved into the player he was last year? Likely not. Bertuzzi played on a more important line than Abdelkader did, and similarly I'd give Rass the same opportunity over Helm if it came down to it. I actually think this is what will most likely end up happening at some point. We have seen direct examples of young players being placed in roles over veterans and this not only benefiting them but also the team itself. The only veteran on the list I gave that actually makes a strong case is Nielsen. He's a good two way player and he can play a top 6 role which is inherently more valuable than a bottom 6 player. Kronwall is a player you keep. Zetterberg if he was playing. Abdelkader over Helm. 100% Keep the most valuable veterans around, rid the ones that don't add much more. At some point you're just over saturating the team with vets.

The chance of landing him are about as good as you winning a fight against a certain pink fat ass tbh.

There’s good veterans and there’s veterans that aren’t really all that good. I consider Zetterberg a tier 1 veteran. Kronwall a tier 2 veteran. Everyone else is tier 3 or below. Nielsen, Daley, Green. None of them have been significant on any team, none of them are known for any leadership skills whatsoever. Nor does anyone bring anything unique to the table. And Helm lol cmon dude. They guy is a career 3rd/4th liner. Please don’t mentor anyone Helm. Especially not with your hands. This is like saying Mathew Dandenault, Boyd Deverareoux, Aaron Ward, Lapointe would have all been good veterans and mentors lol. Kronwall was one of the best open ice hitters and at times still is 1-2 time a year, great leader, was great offensively and defensively in his prime, and amazing work ethic even today. Don’t need to say anything about Zetterberg. Putting veterans all at the same level doesn’t make sense. And just because they are veterans doesn’t mean you have to keep them on the team. Keep the right ones on there. Move on from the others.

Bruh he’s been here for a while. He’s the guy that’s got a billion in his 401k
