That was of course a bit of hyperbole, but I have no expectations of Zagina being an impactful player for us. It was a bad pick and all the waning signs were there... we should have drafted for our needs ie. The best available defenceman.
-
Since that won't happen, I'm willing to chance it... it's just as likely he'll be playing the the Czech beer leagues by then.
-
Worst case would be taking a one-dimensional player who is free falling in the draft and thinking you got a steal. AKA. A repeat of the 2018 draft.
-
Could be worse, he could be a Yank.
-
Years??? His name will be mud by Christmas. Fans will expect him to come in and fix that disaster right away. Which is unreasonable and impossible.

Apparently Holland to the Oilers is still in play... https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/edmonton-oilers-next-gm-will-ken-holland-wants-job/

The problem is a player like Abby, Helm etc shouldn't be paid market value (by us)... if you have a player that can be replaced or mostly replaced for less money you have to let those roster filler types go get paid "market value" somewher else.
-
It's time to bury one or both of those guys in the AHL and forget they exist (other than the majority of their cap hit)... they may not like it but it's a performance based business. Effective **

Mods do something about this ^^^^ LOL
-
I'm not sure if that was a typo or not... but kudos on Zagina.
-
People actually proposed spending assests to trade up for Zadina??? Bad enough we had the misfortune of him slipping to us and causing us to not draft Bouchard or another D.

Gerber was such a baby.

2019 Offseason Rebuild Thread, Pt. 2 - What's the Yzerplan?
mackel replied to Dabura's topic in General
Why can't we send Daley and or Erricson to Grand Rapids? If they clear great we'd get 950k back in cap and then they are off the roster. -
What an eloquent and detailed point of view...
-
Canada seems fully intact and just fine... it's a little less mean and a little more proactive than it was during the days of darkness from 06-15.
-
This is why I think an aggressive move to offer sheet Marner would be worth it.

And the Rangers just became more attractive to Stevie Y. A night that was promising turned into a disaster... looks like a draft of sloppy seconds like last year.... FFS -

f***, f***, f***! -
Let's hope Fulcher gets the start today. We need to lose this game... or to paraphrase it's "a must lose situation".
-
Steve Yzerman to step down as GM for TBL. Will serve in "Advisory Role".

Devastating -
We need to lose our last 2 games... these wins have been "fun" but we really need 2 big losses here.
-
This team is every bit as good as the NY Islanders... our coach however ain't no Barry Trotz.
-
Someone asked what could be done, I wasn't advocating doing it.
-
They could scratch 4-5 key players... but I'm fairly sure that won't happen.
-
Wow you're setting yourself up for disappointment. He'll likely be an NHL regular but I agree with CRL... alot of run of the mill 2nd rounders will have equally good careers. Where I think CRL would disagree is that I would classify this as a BUST relative to his draft position and the expectations of many Wings fans.
