Then I can't believe that SB passed on him. Must have been drunk or something.He's small.

you would rather have Nolan Allen?Zellweger is talented, but I'm unsure how well he'll hold up in the playoffs.

Not sure, tbh.you would rather have Nolan Allen?
Unless a young smurf dman is another Quinn Hughes, I doubt JD will draft him. I believe he was sick and tired of the Stan Bowman days where he would choose weaklings that had offensive flashes in their game but little else. I think Luke and JD are on the same page in that regard.Not sure, tbh.
On draft day I would've 100% gone with Zellweger.
Allan is a low upside player.
But if he winds up a staple on your bottom pair, isn't a liability, can take the physicality of playoff hockey, meanwhile Zellweger turns into a struggling top 4 PP merchant... then the choice is clear.
If Zellweger develops into something like Torey Krug at minimum, I think that's better than Allan's ceiling. Though I don't think that's a fit for what KD is trying to build.
Kirsanov will be better defensemen than Allan.
Book it.
Yes.Are you sticking with this one...?
Even if Kirsanov is a solid player, it does show the benefits to having a similarly caliber North American player that you can get into multiple training camps, place on your AHL team, send up and down as needed during formative developmental years. If Kirsanov does sign, he'll be 23 and if he doesn't take a spot right away, may not stay around very long since he can make better money in the KHL than hanging around signing 2-way league minimum deals.Yes.
His contract in the KHL ends after this season, so LA will finally be able to bring him over.
He's a talented stay at home defenseman, and I look forward to seeing him play in the NHL.
(Chuckling)Gonna chuckle when Allan is playing top four minutes in the NHL in a couple years…..
I don't disagree.Even if Kirsanov is a solid player, it does show the benefits to having a similarly caliber North American player that you can get into multiple training camps, place on your AHL team, send up and down as needed during formative developmental years.

brother, he hasn't even played a game this season lmao.(Chuckling)
Why not both? At the TD hope for a Murph/Martinez trade and EDM can come up after playing top pair all year.Good for Allan. EDM is better. It won’t be long before Allan is sent down.
EDM certainly wasn’t better in camp this year. It wasn’t really close.Good for Allan. EDM is better. It won’t be long before Allan is sent down.
EDM is overrated.Good for Allan. EDM is better. It won’t be long before Allan is sent down.
Good for Allan. EDM is better. It won’t be long before Allan is sent down.
I’d say Allan was the best of the D prospects in camp. He won a spot cleanly.EDM certainly wasn’t better in camp this year. It wasn’t really close.
Agree completely.I’d say Allan was the best of the D prospects in camp. He won a spot cleanly.
Why are you even a fan of this team?Good for Allan. EDM is better. It won’t be long before Allan is sent down.
