You can't win with only goal scorers. It's not fantasy hockey or video games. You need guys with different skill sets and different roles to make a complete lineup.
It's also hard waiting for our top prospects. It's an exciting thought, but you have to let them develop correctly at the appropriate speed.
No I thought JT Brown was exactly like Killorn smaller but as versatile so he could come in and take fourth line spot from pyatt. Thought he could do it all pk etc.. Even though believe pyatt can play center? JT is a forward only I believe.
Well stevie and coop have spoken so we now have our grind line in tampa and gonna get them needed time to be third line for the years to come. You guys can keep calling it the gun line but I really believe stevie envisions that line to be the mccarty draper maltby line.
Is gonna be interesting how the russian factor works out in the future too.
For me waiting on a prospect or prospects when makes no sense is hard lol. Is case in point can say stamkos was best player in preseason. Can say marty purcell and flip played very well. But honestly Connolly to me was second best guy at camp. You noticed him all the time he was making it happen.
But now can just call a voodoo friend put a hex on malone J/K maybe if did that though he could stay healthy lol? So is always injuries.
Sucks for Connolly seems like he isn't getting a fair chance. He deserves a top 6 spot over Killorn, I would've sent him down over Connolly, he hasn't done anything this preseason. I would move Killorn while his stock is high like Conacher, only thing he has over Connolly is he's a LW.
Total disagreement. Killorn is flat out the most versatile player we have on team. Plays two way game which is still a question with connolly and maybe that is what he will be told to work on till malone gets injured?
Killorn is only guy I know on team who could play top line and fourth line well maybe fippula could do that too.
Guys like that are super hard to find. Any roll Killorn can do imo so no I would no way in hell move Killorn. I still think Conacher is a bust in Nhl meaning hes already hit more than he probably will ever again. He will not be considered a great player. He will never have a season where is a leader like was in trying to win the calder or rookie thing. Conacher is undersized and defense is very weak imo. Remains to be seen how much of a steal the bishop thing is.
If Bishop busts? Well that ottawa wins that deal or trade but doubt that Bishop busts and Conacher is never more than a 0.5 player if he ever hits that.
