    2021 Off-Season (Too Soon?)

    A friend of mine that's a Toronto fan, was theorizing: Bert and the 22nd pick for Morgan Reilly Not a trade I'd make personally. ____________ I hope we target the 9th overall pick from Vancouver... I think it could be had for 22 and cap relief. That way we can get our skater and goalie at 6 and 9. Thoughts?

    6/22 GDT - 2018 Entry Draft

    I've been on that since draft night Brah, Zadina would have fallen out of the top 10 IMHO had we not taken him.

    No, accurate.

    We have one of those... everyone say it with me now.... "ZADINA!!!!"

    Luckily everyone, including you, has a right to be wrong.

    I think Tanguay will be the head coach in a matter of a year or two... first interim then permanent.

    ^^This is how I felt in 2018... McTavish seems like a Rasmussen type pick... high floor low ceiling.

    2021 Draft

    Can anyone shed light on why Petruzzelli is walking? Seems odd, since he's developing reasonably well and we have no other notable prospects at that position... the player and team seem like a match made in hockey heaven.

    That's never getting you Eichel... Cholo has virtually no value, Zadina is a 3rd line winger, the picks aren't valuable enough for a franchise player. Zadina = Bust

    Zadina is at best 3rd liner on a decent + team. But in fairness to him our dolt of a coach is trying to make him a 200ft player... the one assest Zadina has is his shot... when he's not scoring goals he's a replacement level player. If we want anything noteworthy out of him we should deploy him like Montreal deploys Caulfield as an offense first shooter with linemates and D to make up for the defensive coverage. And yes Zadina has been/is a bust thus far.

    I'd rather roll the dice that Cossa will be there at 23... but respect the POV!

    Reinhardt is another true 2C, low end 1C in a pinch BUT if we have both Larkin and Reinhardt we have quantity not quality as it relates to the top 6 centers on this team... where at the moment we have neither quantity or quality. Rolling Reinhardt, Larkin, Rasmussen and Veleno as your centers is a strong group overall, despite no superstar among the bunch.

    It's an interesting trade scenario... adds a 1A center to our 1B/2A, gets value for a 3rd line winger who may still be perceived to have upside.

    2021 Off-Season (Too Soon?)

    Zadina's a 3rd line winger... he's not getting you much in a trade.

    Why is this still being talked about at this point...?

    Not trolling expressing legit concern... even if Zadina is the RW of your wet dreams it's still thin using the OP's list... BUT the OP listed Raymond as LW and I missed it.

    Larkin ain't no Bergeron. With or without wingers of your choosing.

    RW looks very iffy... a couple of 2nd/3rd line tweeners (Fabri and Zadina) one with injury history and two 3rd/4th line tweeners (Smith and Erne). By tweener I mean they play up the lineup on a poor team... see Red Wings. Breggren could be anything at point... it's too early.

    f*** OFF STEVEN. This has literally killed what little enthusiasm I had for the off-season, the draft, FA, etc. That douchbag better not ruin Seider.
