Those are good targets. I am not convinced that it is a good year to spend the assets it would take to get Crouse. Middleton seems like a good value target for this team if Sweeney can work a good deal.
We don't need another bad ex-Senator 4th liner, we have one at home
MacEwen is 27. Reaves is 36.
You’re acting like I’m looking to plug him into the top6. I’m looking for an AJ Greer type we can acquire for free to play an AJ Greer role. I would expect a guy like that to have a stat sheet exactly like that.
AJ Greer wasn’t good enough to make this team. We don’t need a guy who sucks at hockey but can
I’m acting like you’re trying to put him into a lineup that’s 14-1-3
Haha, why not? I’m not anti-physical. I don’t think it impacts games as much as Fenian or Sheppy, but I do think it can be a tool. I think I ranked it 5th or 6th on the list of things that can impact a playoff series. If the Bruins don’t advance in the playoffs with this team, I’d still put other roster issues ahead of physical play, as the reason why. But if they could improve their physical play on the cheap why not look at that?
Someone who is able to skate, consistently forecheck, and be the go to guy to stick up for a teammate if needed.
Ok but how do you do it? In November.
Greer was good enough to make the best regular season team in NHL history.
That 14-1-3 team got there in part because of guys like Lucic and Pat Brown, another player you were sure couldn’t play, but Brown was in the lineup tonight over Steen because the Bruins wanted to ice a heavier team, and it was the right call. Brown and his heavy board game was excellent.
Personally I’m not willing to lose anyone (to add that element), which is why I’m looking at guys on the waiver wire.
