Who will score more goals to end the season, Larkin or AA?

I'm not so sure he's at his highest value though. He's currently on pace for 52 points this season, and I think he could be a 55-65 point player for the next few seasons. I wouldn't be in any major rush to trade him, unless a team is willing to overpay. I see him as a top six scoring threat for the next few seasons, so I guess that could be considered long(ish) term. I agree that he shouldn't be locked up long-term, but I'm against long-term contracts in general, with the exception being franchise type players. Athanasiou, as talented as he is, is not close to a franchise player.

False. And frankly, gives more credit to Bill than he deserves. Rick Zombo got himself banned for creating a blatant and mockingly-toned sock account called "Sock Man",  one day before his third one week suspension was to be lifted. Rick's ban was self-inflicted. Bill got himself banned for being an full-on dink. I mean, as legend has it/so they say............

This is all true but if I’m not mistaken that one week ban was because Billy boy had a argument with the Zombo, no?

If my memory serves, BillyBobZeeeech bumped an old thread. Zombo said that was stupid. Zombo got suspended because the mods thought he had bumped the thread. Or for participating in the insanity. But it was Zombo's third or 4th hand-slap so mod's patience was running thin. Big picture: Zombo got what he deserved. But probably shouldn't have been suspended for the thread bumping thing.

Thank you for letting me share Zombo's story with the world. I would like Dwayne Johnson to play him when they make the movie.

Ahh you’re right, I remember pm’ing The Vlad and asking her why Zombo got suspended for Billy babes thread bump.

She gave me an...

Intelligent Response.

 

PS do you happen to know what Zombo’s avatar was he used for a while? It was a cartoon pic of a guy in black sunglasses smoking a cig. Couldn’t find it anywhere on goog

AA - Purely because his Shot% is higher by like 4%.  Dylan is a 50/50 pass vs. shoot player this year.  AA is most always thinking shoot (which is not necessarily a bad thing).

AA with 6 pts in 4 games.  Very nice.

His production has increased since being put on second line and on center. Adapting well to a higher role. I want more consistency out of him though.

7 pts in 5.  You're right tho.  Needs to score pts in 80% of his games.  Not multiple pts in 30% of his games.

80% is probably a bit much to ask....not sure about most consistent scorers, Crosby is up there I would think in that category, but I simply checked Kucherov for this year, for obvious reasons....he's only scored in 75% of his games played....not to say "only", I think 75% is probably pretty good....just pointing out 80% is an aggressive target.

I want him to score more when it matters. Not just pad his stats during the meaningless home stretch of a lost season.

Athanasiou is gonna be part of a package to bring back a D man at some point.

Better trade him at the draft then. Because he's going to return to medium-rare AA next year, at least until Feb, when the rest of the league actually cares about beating us.

I think that's the most likely time it will go down. Holland n Devellano already alluded to the fact that they are open to making a big splash this off season to speed up the rebuild. Naturally I assume that means adding a D man because we are disgustingly bad on the blue line.

Our friends in Winnipeg have like 1000 contracts expiring this off season, maybe they'll wanna send us Bogosian 2.0 since he's from Michigan

I'd be okay with that, depending on which defenseman... I'd prefer it to be part of a bigger package to acquire a legit top pair defenseman.

Trouba? Speaking of legit top pairing defensemen... I'd be okay with trading Athanasiou, plus if it got us him...

In what world is he anything like Bogosian?

IDK, I made the reference because this board was obsessed with acquiring "Bogo" for a long time, just like now with Trouba, and they're both Winnipeg doods
