    I think Andersson is a flier... that goes really well or really badly. (See Zadina) I think Georgiev at a minimum will be a 1B starter and matches our core age. Note I'd not use our own second rounder... but the Washington 2nd we got for Jensen.

    I think AA and a late 2nd rounder would get you Andersson and Georgiev.

    Not sure but he's worth taking a flier on... 7th overall in 2017... its's doubtful he'll live up to his draft position but he may be a nice top 9 piece 2 years from now...

    Could Lias Andersson be our post trade freeze target?

    I think maybe we've missed the forrest for the trees here... If Comrie had such bad rebound control that after 2 games we were indifferent enough to let him get claimed... 1. Are our pro scouts so inept they missed this? 2. Did our pro scouts see this deficiency and Yzerman doesn't trust their assessment? I think this might be the real story line here...
  6. I agree... it'll our last loss of the season. All of those players are interchangeable, I think a youngish G with potential has got to be our main target via trade. I also think Bernier should be shopped at the deadline with 50% salary retained. A contender may want that kind of insurance.
  7. My god we have to pick 1 or 2... I just don't know if its possible to continue watching this Jr B team get punked night in and night out.
  8. The SN broadcast showed the "0 for club" 16.3 million in salary 0 goals...

    2019-20 Prospects Thread

    No I was playing the role.of source dick.... you know the guy who posts "Source" in exactly this scenario. It's been done to me a few times... and since its Christmas I thought why not give what I've once recieved. The bold portion is rude, inaccurate, inflammatory and unnecessary... shows what lengths you'll go to protect your boy Zadina from criticism.

    Source?

    Trade deadline bait available this year?

    Bodies then yes I get your point... but this team has prospect hope at every position other than G. Its scary bad when you start looking at the numbers.

    Trade deadline bait available this year?

    We have 2 terrible goalies in the NHL, a journeyman AHLer starting in GR and a prospect that can't stop a beachball, and a few other prospects that aren't exactly lighting the world on fire.... and they need depth more than we do?

    AA vs. Mantha

    Wow this is a testy thread... AA is Helm with some finish, Mantha is a prototypical power forward. Each is nice to have... AA's contract stunts and streakyness make him more expendable.

    On Howard what do we do with him?? Conditioning in GR, then what? I'd like to see more of Comrie... he may be something he may not but on age alone he's worth hanging on to over Howard... Could we truely embrace the tank and trade Bernier?

    Fabbri or Zadina?

    The homer is strong in this one... you make Jack Edwards look objective. Didn't Hirose have something comparable to 7 in 10 last season... that hype train is derailed and on fire. Apparently you do since you replied.

    Fabbri or Zadina?

    Middle 6 at best. But the poll is flawed CRL should have polled Q. Hughes vs Busty and see how that would play out.

    Fabbri or Zadina?

    So to be clear, we consider being "objective" to be a full throated homer for a flawed prospect.
  18. I wear glasses they're just not rose coloured as yours so clearly are.
  19. He had 1, 3pt game, 2 of which were assists... aren't you getting a little ahead of yourself? I know this is an abysmal season but don't set yourself up for more disappointment.
  20. Nail Yakupov had 3 GOALS in a game, during his rookie season against Vancouver... Busts can have bursts. Sat 4/27 vs VAN W 7-2 3 0 3 2 0 6 50.0 1 0 0 0 0 18:47 6:16
  21. Robbie Fabbri has made Zadina look like an NHLer for a night, he's that good.
  22. I see you have Larkin at 2C, my canary in the coal mine for this team is Larkin at 2C... if we get there we're ok! If not then we're effed. This is why if I have the #1 pick I'd take Byfield and not La-furniture (LOL)
  23. Colorado: 2016-17 48 pts 2017-18 95 pts 2018-19 90 pts
