Player Discussion Christian Dvorak Part 2

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
What does that mean, that you can't evaluate Armia because he only disappointed in the regular season?

Should he be used as a designated LTIR for the playoffs like Kucherov or Stone?
That means you replied to someone saying armia great in the playoffs and you said we evaluated that last few years ….. to which my point , how can you evaluate a playoff performer if you not even smelling the playoffs ?
 
Playoff beast Joel Armia scores at a 30pt/season pace in the playoffs. He is already past his prime, so I don't see the point if deferring to his playoff production if he's not the same player he was in his last playoff series. He's allegedly injured right now.

Doesn't it make sense to replace Armia with a younger, quicker, more explosive player? It's not like his production or availability will be hard to replace. The FA market and the trade market will have bottom6 players who can put up 30pts/season with 15min of icetime/gp.
I agree with that , was just replying to someone who said we have not see. Much of his playoff prowess , well yea , cants see that when you tank
Let’s see this year

Are you serious?

If he mails it in 3/4 years, there will be a lot to evaluate. Your point makes no sense at all, because what you're trying to say is that he can't be evaluated if the Canadiens don't make the playoffs. If a player has no responsibility during the regular season, he definitely doesn't deserve an extension. The condition you are imposing is artificial and completely unsustainable.

Also, this so called playoff beast mode Armia had Eric Staal and Corey Perry on his line. Two former star veterans with a skill set that rarely seen on the 4th line.
