I know lol I was just kidding.Pacioretty pre-Chara.
Erik Cole.
I know lol I was just kidding.
Not sure I would put Pacioretty in the "power forward" category though.
Erik Cole agreed but neither had the aggressive nature that Josh Anderson has.
Meh...I don't think I've ever seen that in Pacioretty's game, either before the Chara hit or after.Before Chara's hit.. Pacioretty played a power game, not a physical game, but a power game.. that changed after the hit.
Should read the article in The Athletic by Arpon Basu - not sure if I’m allowed to post..
Good point.Repeatedly see posts of “who cares if MB wins his deals...the team building isn’t any better”....well I’d counter this deal was exactly that “team building ingredient” type deal.
That one time Georges Laraque lined up at RW with Koivu and Kovalev in the playoffs vs Bruins
IMO, Anderson is the ideal complement to Suzuki-Drouin duo, will create time and space without slowing them down or having cement hands to blow opportunities, all while maintaining defensive awareness - could that possibly put less of a burden on Suzuki to being “the everything” defensively on that line knowing he’s got Anderson who could take on some of that defensive burden, allowing Suzuki to potentially do more offensively? That’s what I’m hoping..
So yes, I expect Suzuki will increase his point totals and the domino effect of that happening eventually forcing opposition to focus on that line allowing Danault & KKs line to face weaker opposition which (theoretically) should increase both lines probabilities of production output improvement
Look at the type of space Armia provided them and he’s not always engaged physically. I think Anderson is more suited for that role.
Maybe if you're clearer with your writing, people can understand what you're going on about.You didn't read my post carefully.
Why continue the conversation if you intend to ignore my key points. I highlighted the two years where he broke out, which you ignored. You ignored you're the one who brought up the Drouin trade/Serge trade. You repeat the same simplistic CAREER stats comparison, completely ignoring their different routes and their respective breakouts, which necessitates further context. You also keep ignoring Anderson is better defensively than Domi, also bigger.
I guess you missed the comparative so let me rephrase it differently and simply for you. When compared to Julien, Torts coaches a more offensive game.Actually quite the opposite - Torts has a very rigid defensive structure. Per Arpon Basu:
Patches was definitely playing a power game. Few things happened to him though. He got suspended for a hit, he got destroyed by Chara, and he would repeatedly get hurt because of his playing style.Meh...I don't think I've ever seen that in Pacioretty's game, either before the Chara hit or after.
He's a goal scorer who happens to be 6'2 215lbs. He's more of a sniper then he is/was a power forward.
Either way, we're not likely to see Josh Anderson turn the other cheek when/if challenged.
No he’s doesn’t, Torts employs the classic trap, if anything it’s Julien who’s evolved over the past couple of seasonsI guess you missed the comparative so let me rephrase it differently and simply for you. When compared to Julien, Torts coaches a more offensive game.
I think they had to add the 3rd because other teams wanted Anderson. I don’t think Domi was in high demand.Wait... I didn’t like the deal when we were receiving the 3rd, I guess it made so little sense that we were adding that I couldn’t register or understand the reality... we added a 3rd to Domi to get a guy that is older has never performed at Domi level and had a major injury, and isn’t signed... this is not horrible asset management... we have pick and cap space but MB he just pissing it then away... It speak to the fact that every GM knowns how MB is desperate and maximizing the return for there side, result might be MTL win the trade but the odds are clearly not in our favor...
What kinda of saving will we get why would Anderson sign for any less than Domi they just got trade one on one and they had to add to Domi and they have the same agent...
I don’t care who you trade, you need to get value and manage your asset... Especially since you can’t go out and sign big ...
I have given MB the benefits of the doubt a lot of time even if I didn’t like the move, but now it is clear he a F##£ing amateur and Molson is clearly letting $ getting in the way of greatness...

Despite his injury issues and numbers last year.I think they had to add the 3rd because other teams wanted Anderson. I don’t think Domi was in high demand.
Patches was definitely playing a power game. Few things happened to him though. He got suspended for a hit, he got destroyed by Chara, and he would repeatedly get hurt because of his playing style.
I vividly remember him getting frustrated after a game where I believe he had hurt his groin and telling the media he will have to change his game otherwise his career will be short.
From that moment on, he became more of a perimeter player.
You're really bringing up this year when they literately were playing AHLers. Julien with more offensive players on his team has been able to accomplish diddly squat offensively with them.Must be the reason why they scored 32 less goals than the Habs this season.
Or how they only scored 9 more goals the year before despite having Panarin, along with Duchene and Dzingel after the deadline.
