I watch a lot of Avs highlights and used to watch the odd game or two, along with the odd Sabre game or two. I say no. I am more than willing to trade Marchy but not for Cory M. He has good speed and quickness, but average sense and, if hf boards is to be believed, below average focus. He disappears for 10 or20 game chunks which tends to support this. ...
He averages about 45 pts a year, and trending downward, outside that one year. You play the numbers game all you want but there is no way in hell the number 7.8 mil should be attached to him, unfortunately it is, thank you Donnie, and all the fans that screamed for his guy.
HAHA. I am at least getting the impression he is not a 4A player now. Still KillerMiller has it pegged: somewhat promising offensively, and a liability defensively at present.
Watched him a ton at the WJ and as a Sabre and his hockey sense and vision were two of his best traits. He always reminded me of a better skating Craig Janney.
One year? He had 357 points in 418 games with the flames. He put up 64 points the year before last with Tyler Toffoli and Dillon Dube as his most common linemates. Dude also has 8 points in his last 10 so maybe wait until he goes cold before coming back with your same tired takes.
I get the comparison, and almost agree, but that does not explain why he disappears.
We also lost cups unluckily. We earned that cup in a big way.
Absolutely but you HAVE-to the the character guys to lead the way. 2011
EARNED IT IS RIGHT!! Very 1st series vs most hated rivals they lost first 2 games at home.Then won game 7 vsTB 1-0 ..Then lost first 2 games again in Cup finals but won in 7 on opponents ice.Yea I agree with you, lucky is not a word I would use here
Oh Ok, let me do that , I am someone who will admit when he is wrong, I will not be wrong on this one. I am not one to gloat or rub it in someone face, and say I told you so, but I think I can make an exception.
I'll once again agree with you or disagree after the playoffs are done. Add in the rising cap and if he produces when it matters in the playoffs when Zacha goes ghost-mode, I'll be better able to judge the contract.
Hard pass for me, not a fan of Middlestedt at all and Marchy would get a lot more, there would be a bidding war for him at the TDL.
He does disappear
I’m a big Lohrei fan but I’d move him, for a top young center. Sweeney hasn’t been able to draft a skilled center in a decade. He’s done Ok with d-men. I’d take a chance he could find another Lohrei before he ever finds a number one center
Otherwise known as “The Numbers Game”
Not saying you are wrong heck u are probably right, but the idea here should be to find deals and at the same time keeping our young players.The top line centre hole though has been an issue I agree
I agree 100 percent but what other assets do the Bruins have to put out there to draw any interest? You have Lohrei and Poitras unless your trading Pasta or McAvoy. I’d deal a Swayman in a heartbeat as well for that future number one center,but teams just don’t covet goalies that much imo.
Hmm, you have a point, except I am willing to bet Sweens is gone this Summer, or surely next Summer. Lohrei just does not have any of the basics defensively, which is not surprising given his history. I am definitely willing to trade him for a more advanced defensive or forward prospect.
Burns might be a comparison though quite a bit more offensively talented. Don't forget, Lohrei only developed a slap shot/one timer this year and it still isn't great.
