Mentioned that Hughes would be a huge difference maker for the Wings Howards like "WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST TRADE ME" s*** dude; It's so true and so harsh to say. Abdelkader! I was way off!

The 91 of Ryans 3,015 Report post Posted February 27, 2019 Sort of felt bad for Zadina having to play on AA's wing last night. That dude will never ever be a quality 2nd line center in this league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That makes him an excellent 3rd liner and I love him in that role. You can give him a center like Glendenning and he'll still create his own offense. But I have yet to see him make any of his line mates better when he plays up the middle. edit: to fully spell out Glendenning.

I harped all summer about how he needs to improve his commitment to defense and also play better in the cycle, which is a crappy way of saying what you just said. He's never gonna be a guy who drives this team, at least not if he continues like he is. He's purely an offensive weapon with hands and speed. Read something this morning that the Wings intend on playing him at 2C the rest of the season. 2 Wheelchairsuperhero and Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AA was being benched by Dale Hunter in London when in his post NHL Draft season. Zadina is playing pro in his post NHL draft season. Zero comparisons between the two at the same age. Pretty sure he'll have his crap figured out and them some by the time he's at the stage AA's at now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AA DOES NOT drive his own play. Stop giving him so much credit. He's a mutha f***in CHERRY PICKER that's lazy and sucks and can only score on breakaways. Drive his own play. How Blasphemous. That's polar opposite of what he is. A godam cherry picker and a floater. Edited February 27, 2019 by kickazz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dabura 12,207 Report post Posted February 27, 2019 I'm not a fan of AA at center, but I get why Blashill would want to give him a long audition and see if they can't make it work. Nielsen isn't really cutting it as a 2C and I highly doubt Veleno will be able to fill that hole next season. Rasmussen is 19 and playing on the wing. This year's draft class features a wealth of talented centermen, but I'm not sure a single one of them will be a legit NHL 2C next season. So it'd be really nice if AA could fill that hole. It's probably an exercise in futility, but I get it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
