So childish, so dumb. Larkin isn't a comparable to Ovechkin and of course you and your dummy account know that. An Ovechkin/Crosby comparison would be more apt but again its doesn't suit narrative. Which is wrong. Kotkaniemi 0.365ppg; -10 career Kotkaniemi 0.430ppg; +1 un-concussed 1st season Zadina 0.486ppg (check your math 18pts in 37 games); -13 career ----- Healty Kotkaniemi >> Healty Zadina

Talking with you is like taking to a toddler... yes you doctored the stats... you omitted Kotkaniemi's 1st NHL season because it didn't suit your incorrect knee jerk, I have to disagree with THAT guy narrative. Ovechkin didn't back check at all for the first 10 years of his career... and barely does now...

It wouldn't bother me... at all... but as your reply shows... you're wrong, you tried to doctor the stats to fit your narrative and got exposed. If you want to try and compare a player battling a concussion to a player who isn't and try an call that a win, well I guess that's your prerogative; in the real world we rightly call that BS. Kotkaniemi > Zadina

That's one of the most pathetic attempts I've seen at backing up an argument. Kotkaniemi played a full season in the NHL at center when Zadina was struggling in the AHL. Kotkaniemi was battling concussion issues this season and thus not playing up to par. Despite this and playing center was better defensively. Kotkaniemi once healthy was playing at a point per game clip in the AHL, surpassing Zadina's per game rate... comparing apples to apples, both healthy, both in the same league. If you're going to be disagreeable that's fine... but please don't use BS cherry picked stats, you look stupid and make me have to type...

No it isn't.

He's an excellent 1B goalie... he was this team's MVP this season IMHO... can we upgrade, yup for sure... I like Murray or Lehner as the 1A say a 50/32 split.

Oh yea you said I'm wrong... so yeahhh definately true.. psha

No I think at this point Kotkaniemi has played better in a more important role and I think Hayton will follow the same path...

No way he jumps to 5... please play again

Already sliding and vastly out done by the guy drafted right after him... but it's fine, IT'S FINE... he was ranked 3rd, 3RD I SAID. https://thehockeynews.com/news/article/redoing-the-2018-nhl-draft-how-would-it-unfold-two-years-later?fbclid=IwAR3MGJRA-N0Elu8hrZ8h0Y48NLJbw4YWZ0tBNuEVU1KNhcvjKHNUtNc1Cbk #BustyColdZadina

Why would he backpedal from the correct position? I think COVID19 and/or Carole Baskin is behind this. Once again... Zadina ceiling = Tatar Zadina floor = KHL

That's a somewhat positive outlook on Zadina... you've changed man, you've changed.

This is an interesting read... https://thehockeywriters.com/2020-nhl-do-not-draft-list/?utm_sq=gekbr8rsi7&fbclid=IwAR0TbXvChoikkreX-dQabHFoY_Zgw8bEssuiY8qrUuVujVciB9l2-tcGX-I

Do you think this guy is resorting to "hot-takes" for a few clicks? He seems pretty vanilla/pathetic otherwise.

some assets we sold at the deadline... boy losing those hurt!

To be fair I've called Zagina a bust LOL

That won't happen, this dude still believes in Santa and Zadina.

Larkin is a 2C... so if Byfield is a 1C he'd be our top guy come contention time. So you're saying he'd pair well with 'white fish' and '18 Zadina...

Its done behind closed doors... so who knows what they **REALLY** do. I don't trust that process whatsoever.

You're quite likely right but since that's not what the discussion has been about I'm not sure why you're bringing it up.

I'd rather put less money and term into Lehner and/or Krug, adding those two would make this team a respectable bottom 5 team (see Ottawa). I think they would also accelerate our rebuild by 2 seasons.

What ever happened to Hampus Melen?

That Zadina analysis is bang on and we're gonna pay the price for it for years.
