Speculation: 2024-25 Roster thread

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Carlsson at 14 is wild when you look at quite a few players above him.

He's not Canadian nor does he play for a Canadian team. Poor kid never had a chance.

Frank Vatrano has Matt Duchene disease. He only shows up on ufa years

I'd like to see Colangelo get a shot on the top line. The puck just finds him. Then he can dish it to Leo/Z.

Well that doesn’t make sense because it is his UFA year and also it’s not like he’s not trying to score. Slumps happen and it feels like you’ll never get out of it….. until you do.

Harkins doesn't have the skill to play up that high. I would swap him and Vatrano.

This is part of the reason I don’t understand this crazy hate going on. Not too mention it’s not like he plays a soft lazy game. Weird place right now.

I don’t get it either. Plenty of talk about how snakebit Cutter was but it’s been a similar story for Frank this year. I get that he didn’t have that first NHL goal storyline going but still

Maybe so but I actually think his physicality would mesh with McT’s and I think his puck retrieval would go well turn Terry’s.

His role wouldn’t really be skill-based, it would be a wrecking ball puck hound that wins battles and gets the puck to one of the other two goal scorers

 

[Mr Rogers]

I'd like to see Mctavish with Colang

Kind of amusing to see Vatrano and Strome in the top 5 given how they are absolutely despised

It will come for Vatrano, he's snakebitten to hell right now. Main thing is he's getting the chances, I'd be more worried if he wasn't producing and not getting the chances to do so.

It’s funny everyone ripping on Cronin (I’m not a fan either) and yet say our highest expected goals forward who plays gritty and works hard “can’t play hockey”. He missed some wide open chances but anyone who has played the game knows how quick that can happen out there and a slump being hard to break out of.
