I don't think many kids do, honestly.I stopped playing midway through a season because of a coach before, but it was because the way he was treating everyone on the team. and I'd be way more shocked if you didn't do that in your life...ha.

ChristopherReevesLegs 7,022 Report post Posted May 16, 2018 I've been meaning to make this point for a while now... I think Evgeny Svechnikov sucks. I dont think he has a high enough skill level to play in an NHL top 6, and i don't think he has the defense/intangibles to be an NHL bottom 6er. Essentially IMO hes a Damien Brunner type. I would trade Svech b4 anyone else discovers this, b4 his stock plummets. Obvi hope im wrong, but then again ive never ever been wrong Fight me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he would improve his effort on defense I think he could be a middle 6 winger. That is one thing we have plenty of. If we could swing him for a good young D prospect or even Faulk I would be happy.

Obvi hope im wrong, but then again ive never ever been wrong Fight me Svechnikov definitely doesn't "suck", and he does have plenty of raw skill, but I don't think he'll ever be a top line winger. I still think he'll be a solid middle six winger though. I do agree that we should probably be shopping him. Ideally, we could package him for a high end defenseman around the same age or younger. Which is why I think Carolina / Bean would be a perfect trade partner / target... 2 kliq and Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted May 16, 2018 21 minutes ago, F.Michael said: Trade him to the team that drafts his brother next month? Yeah, that team will likely be Carolina, unless they opt to take Zadina for the chemistry with Necas. I doubt that happens, but if it does Montreal would take Svechnikov, and they have nothing I'd want to trade for, outside of maybe Drouin, and they're not trading him. Carolina has seemed like a great trade partner for the past couple years. They have one of the better young defensive corps in the league, and need depth on the wings. We have depth on the wings and desperately need to add some high end defensemen. Svechnikov would be a good fit in Carolina. Now that they're likely to draft his younger brother, maybe that would entice them to pull the trigger on a trade involving him... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dabura 12,207 Report post Posted May 16, 2018 Svechnikov has never been quite as talented or quite as tantalizing as Mantha, but where he is right now does kind of remind me of where Mantha was when the infamous "very disappointing" comment was made. Svechnikov had a great rookie campaign in the AHL, then he was injured in preseason and went on to have a "very disappointing" sophomore season. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt and assuming that injury basically sank his season straight out of the gate. I'm not expecting greatness, but I do think he has the potential to be a respectable scoring-line winger in the NHL. I figure his trade value is pretty negligible right now, so I wouldn't be in a rush to move him -- unless, perhaps, adding him as a sweetener to a package is what allows us to get a worthwhile high-end defenseman. 2 krsmith17 and Wheelchairsuperhero reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm still hoping Holland has a trade or two up his sleeve to improve our draft position (after 6), but I doubt he'll do much of anything... EDIT: wrong thread...

I would be OK with a middle six winger. If he was drafted in the top 10 or 15, then I would be very, very, very disappointed. What disappoints me the most is that Brock Boeser was taken 4 picks later. Obviously, i would rather have picked him. Saarajarvi was a 3rd rounder. If he at least turns out to be a 3rd pairing, I would be OK with that. I am just not going to expect Datsuk, Zetterberg type picks anymore. Those days are gone. So even if all we have to show from that draft is a middle six winger and a 5/6 dman, its okay. Not every year is going to be a home run. 2014 was a decent draft for us and 2016 was tremendous. I am OK with 2015 being a little light. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think he "sucks" because he's only going to be a 40 pt winger. I think he "sucks" cause he's not good enough to play in the NHL at all. Hope that's clear enough for you.
