Don't think Gregor is playing the Joseph role.
I don't think they can send Hamonic to the AHL due to his NMC. I was ok with not offering arby to Brannstrom, but once he was available on waivers at $900K bringing him back was a no-brainer IMO. Just send JBD through waivers to make room.
Gregor is averaging over 13 minutes a night. He’s not being deployed in a 4th line role.
But JBD is a better player.
And Joseph was averaging ~16.5. He was a guy you would throw up onto scoring lines when needed, Gregor is a guy who gets moved up to the 3rd, but won't be higher.
Brannstrom back after he was on waivers still wouldn't work if Hamonic is still on the roster getting ice time. Don't know wtf he was doing half the time last night. I'd rather JBD stay on the roster and just bench Hamonic.
If Green didn't give hell to Cousins for his idiotic penalty against Vegas Cousins is going to cost us several more games against teams that will take advantage when we're not disciplined.
Yeah, he's been paired with Vincent Desharnais. That pairing has been been more than the sum of its parts.
It's not like still having them would be changing the teams outcomes right now anyways. Couple tough games, get back on the horse and keep working. Things are still looking better imo.
Were are missing 3 key guys Zub, Pinto, Perron.. 4 goals against last were very preventable... one needed a call on change of possession.
Ya those are much bigger losses than anything else being pointed to. Ullmark only playing 3 games as well. Lots of runway left to get it on track here.
And where would Joseph be playing in a lineup with
I think the argument is Amadio replaced Joseph and as a result if Joseph were still here, he'd be on the 4th line. If we took out Amadio instead of Gregor, Joseph would likely be slotted in where Amadio is.
I guess I just look at it different. I’m looking at role as what the player brings unless it’s a direct position replacement like Jensen replacing Chychrun, Ullmark replacing Korpse or Kleven replacing Branny.
Fair enough!
They are in the exact same role.
Who replaces who seems like its user definable and arbitrary. I looked at Perron’s advanced stats (this year) as I was curious. They looked pretty good. But, Perron’s $4m cap hit puts him pretty close to Tarasenko’s money, so hopefully Perron will provide some offensive production as well. it's still too early to pass any judgements. Amadio’s cap hit is pretty close to Joseph’s. I guess I’m just saying that comparing cap hits is another way of doing these comparisons for these wingers.
We obviously define role differently. I look at the forward group as a recipe not an org chart. Our speed/PK ingredient has been Formenton -> Joseph -> Gregor
I’m not sure what you mean by Perron is better in all other facets? Is Perron known to be a defensive specialist ? Not really. I like his board work but I think tarasenko was just as good with more offense. I personally wasn’t a fan of either move I still rather they spent that money on a good top 9 center. Even bringing back a pageau retained imo.
