Player Discussion: Conor Geekie

[Rschmitz]

As we all know and have discussed the Jeanott trade was the worst for JBB but I think he redeemed himself with the Serg trade. Moser and Geekie are paying and will continue to pay big dividends. Even restocked the cupboard with a couple of picks.

IMO

Sergachev trade redeemed the Sergachev contract
Jeannot trade undid the Hagel trade

JBB is currently sitting on four - count 'em - four 7th round picks for 2025. Redeemed himself? And then some!

Don’t forget about Dre.

Long-term, do we think he’s a winger or a center? Assuming Point and Cirelli are also here for the long run.

Yes.

He's going to be a scorer. He really needs to be tested on PP1.

Long term center

It's weird seeing a #14 jersey capable of skating fast after the Maroon era. (Sorry Pat)

He's definitely a 20/20 guy in the future and a welcomed, big body in the lineup. I like the guy. Really hoping he stays hungry.

Isn't 20/20 a very conservative projection?

Yes, which is a safe bet that's his floor potential in the league.

 

[Rschmitz]

He could hit 20-20 this year…

I would even say he’s likely to do it if he’s a fixture on the second line, which hasn’t quite happened yet.

 

[Lightning1995]

If this kid is already a top 6 quality NHL forward, what a win of a trade!

 

[These Are The Days]

20/20 even this year feels a little high. Not saying he can't so it. But once he figures NHL space and speed, yes.

 

[Peacefool]

Was sceptical when read here about his potential and possibility to be top 6 this year,but now...wow dude is good,hopefully he will progress further,and we can sign him long term.
What is contract situation for now?
