Bravo Allvin. The D is pretty much rebuilt.

[Grub]

Nice necro.

 

[F A N]

What's Pouliot up to these days?

Leading the Syracuse Crunch.

 

[xtr3m]

I think it still needs some work

What have you done...

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

Bump but this time unironically lmfao. Our D corps went from being a disaster to actually pretty decent pretty much overnight.

Best group of D we've had in well over a decade.

 

[Diversification]

If EP2 and Willander hit, we're in solid shape. If QH re-ups with us, that is...

 

[M2Beezy]

23/24 IF Zadorov is on his game, but projecting going ahead with EP2 and Willander on their way I like where we are going now.

since 2010-2011. erhoff/edler/kb3/a young young raw rookie in tanev. ballard/rome/alberts.

 

[David71]

Hughes - Hronek
MP - Willander
DPetey - Myers
Forbort

Cheap and good. Hell if Cole wants to come back we can bring him back.

 

[EpochLink]

The defense core has been rebuilt, now tune on the forward core

Don’t forget Hamhuis. He was elite top 2 dude too, damn we were spoiled!

And Sami Salo would like a word.

And Sami Salo would like a word.

Unfortunately Sami suffered a freak accident which required emergency surgery on his larynx and so will be unable to say anything for the next 3-6 months.

 

[iceburg]

I looked at the thread title and had to do a double take. I thought they had traded for some guy named Bravo Allvin.

 

[theguardianII]

Is this last years info?
Rebuilt? No, different and a bit better, yes.

Keep the pendulum closer to center, lets not go to either extreme yet.

I'm glad that Hughes is playing in this era where he can show his skill and not back then since he would have been targeted and injured by predatory rats all the time. The no touch icing rule is one of the best thing implemented in the NHL. Pasting defenders into the boards with hits from behind was the norm.

 

[Raistlin]

it will be "rebuilt" if EPD and Willander(later this year) shows sustained competence in their first year roles. I think it a bit hasty to necro this.

 

[iceburg]

Yup. Now it's a about maintenance and bringing along the youth as the vets age out.

Soucy => D-Petey (Kudryatsev/Minio)
Myers => Willander/Mancini

Forward group needs two top 6 players.

 

[B-rock]

And Sami Salo would like a word.

lol forgot 2 of the top 4!

If you lump in potential of our top 2 Dman prospects sure but time will tell.

The funny thing about the sarcastic necro of this thread was that it was literally done about 12 hours before all the trades happened. That's kinda hilarious.

It's kinda crazy how much it changed, and in a very very short period of time. M. Petersson and D-petey look goddamn solid, with Willander and Mancini set to come in very soon. Mancini is actually the dark horse in this conversation that I'm quite excited about, and I don't see too many others talking about him. I've been watching a bunch of footage of this kid. I think he's solid as hell, and I'm not going to be shocked if he plays for this team for a good long while. Might be the hidden gem of this trade as the years go by.

I may actually like him over EJ Emery from the Rangers. less puck skills, but what we need is a mobile giant in the back, as long as he can make a decent first pass, hes exactly what is needed in the bottom pair. dont know why they want Fortescue.
