I thought you were going to be more serious? Just adding Lindholm wins them a cup??? Are Orr, Bourque and Park all playing D in their prime? Stop it now, it's much to early. Oh a second line center with these playoff numbers is not getting you a cup 61-9-12-21 and minus 20.
Can't wait for the five year Frederic extension with a full NMC/NTC
U really want to let go two guys who will be 29 (Heinen) and 28 (DeBrusk) in December, for two guys who will be 34 (Marchessault) and 36 (Maroon)? Even giving Maroon is a year contract, you are going to have to pay close to DeBrusk $$ for Marchessault.
I really can't agree with u here if you r going for a Cup. They benched him this year
The Bruins need at least 3 new forwards in the top 6 (if Debrusk doesn't resign).
Just stop this garbage. Coyle has never been benched in his career in Boston in the PO. #48 has on several occasions. Just a god awful comparison.
61-9-12-21 and minus 20. That's Coyle's last 5 years of playoff hockey, some as a number two center, can you defend it? Are those the numbers of a cup contending teams number 2 center?
B's couldn't win Cup with Bergeron\Krejci at 33 and 32 years old and Coyle at his prime
Get him out of the Peg and Ill take my chances, the guy has elite level skill. A change of scenery can do wonders at times and he wouldn't be the first player who it took a while to produce come playoff time. He also did have 4 goals in his last 11 games heading into his 5 game goalless drought this year but he did pick up a pair of assist, so it isn't like he's been a complete no show and those are just offensive stats. I have to admit I didn't watch any jets games during the playoffs but the games I've watched during the regular season Ehlers does so much more than just points to help you win games. In 10 NHL seasons he's been a minus player only one year and is a career +92.
2\5 WERE AS A #2 CENTER, being matched up against categorically better centers in Aho, Staal, Barkov and Bennett. You make it sound like getting out played by those 4 guys were some type of original sin.
you rob peter to pay paul but they would want a player like geekie, coyle or freddy
4 years with Marchessault is taking you to age 37 by December 2027. That's a big no thank you to me at near DeBrusk $$$ and to u I'm sure.
Winnipeg has continually messed with him and his ice time to a ridiculous degree. It's a running thing for Jeff Marek, as an example, because Ehlers would get stuffed on the third line and get 9:30 TOI with no PP time for no reason.
The biggest under performers they have had in the playoffs for the past several years have been Grizz and Coyle. If you are asking me which is a better player of course the answer is Coyle, Grizz has never been anything but a over hyped depth defenseman to me. Coyle is still not somebody I think you can win with in the playoffs if you are looking for him to play an important top 6 role.
Nope.
