nyqvististhefuture 1,002 Report post Posted February 22, 2019 Like getting bowey but does this pretty much mean game over for joe hicketts?sulak? I mean unless we get rid of bodies like ericsson,Daley,green,kronwall(which I’m totally up for ) how can they possibly have a future here with cholowski and hronek coming up next season as well maybe its time to give little joe a look elsewhere ?he had a good junior career so I’m sure we can get a pick for him just cant see him having a future in Detroit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hate to say it, but he's probably a career AHLer. Then again, the same could probably be said of Bowey. It'll be interesting to see how everything shakes out. 1 kliq reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember him having some good games when he first came and he hasn’t really had a good look after that since we always favour old fossils on the back end I think he can get a pick 5-7 ... might as well ship him to his home town Vancouver Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can be a small defenseman in today's NHL, but it's nearly impossible to be a small defenseman with average-at-best skating, unless you're super-skilled. Could be a good veteran leader in GR for years to come, like Lashoff. Or we could try to trade him for a late pick. I'd be good with either path. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even it’s a 7th I’d rather stockpile as many picks as possible , only way of getting better is having as many shots as possible i know jensen was expected but I’m just hoping with adding bowey and the young d’s coming up in cholowski hronek as well and mcisaac,lindtstrom hopefully not far off we start getting rid of guys like Daley by Monday and hoping babs keepings nagging dubas and he caves and gives gives us a 2nd for Luke lol Edited February 22, 2019 by nyqvististhefuture 1 Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neomaxizoomdweebie 3,083 Report post Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) 4 hours ago, kickazz said: That’s hindsight bias. We gave them up because we didn’t have them and at that point in time we needed them. And we’ll need to reaquire them once we’re contending again. We can’t predict when we’re going to contend or if the picks we acquire will translate to anything. It could take 3 years or 10. Which is why you trade until something falls together. But hanging onto vets and assuming that it’s good to keep them since we’ll be ready for playoffs in a couple years is reaching. Leafs did that for years and never actually got anywhere for a decade. Is that allowed? Or is hindsight bias banned by the Social Justice Warriors now too? Does this make me a "Timist"? Or a "Future-phobe"?

If you stand pat, then GM-ing wouldn’t really exist. Tl;dr rebuild isn’t close, trade Nyquist, Jensen. Edit: Jensen gone.

Well, that and the fact that the only thing he ever had going for him to begin with was that he was a really good story. Being 5'8 or whatever is the only reason he mattered to anyone to begin with, and ironically that's a big reason why he'll never been any good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's a pretty good player, just not a solid NHL defenseman. Given that he didn't even cost us a draft pick (undrafted), I'm perfectly satisfied with him being a Lashoff type, i.e. someone who plays an important role for the Griffins.

Anaheim Ducks drafted the West Kelowna, B.C., native in the second round in 2008 but failed to sign Schultz during a 30-day exclusive negotiating window after he left school and he was declared an unrestricted free agent on Monday. https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/nhl-free-agent-justin-schultz-to-pick-his-team-saturday-1.1206491 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
