If a defenseman is added Lundkvist will be traded or eat scratch’s. Too much Suter love to scratch him and I know the Nils fan club will not like this comment but he is too small and plays smaller for the playoffs. DeBoer will pick Hakanpaa every time over lundkvist. Jani at least play defense and hits people. Nils’ offense does not make up for his poor defense. He is a very poor man’s Tyson Barrie…without the offensive output.What Nill also needs here is an honest answer from DeBoer about who plays if Tanev/Walker gets acquired. Who gets scratched? Is it Hakanpaa or Lundkvist? If Lundkvist, Nill should just go ahead and throw him in any trade.
I like it. Not sure how realistic it is.. I’ll tell you one thing that ISN’T realistic- Suter being scratched lolIs this stupid or good, realistic or no?

Also just realized I left it Pavelski and LundkvistI like it. Not sure how realistic it is.. I’ll tell you one thing that ISN’T realistic- Suter being scratched lol
Either Lundkvist or Hakanpaa would have to go the other way. Pavelski can be placed on the 4th line and Smith can eat some nachos.Also just realized I left it Pavelski and Lundkvist
Pavelski will never be pushed down to the third line in favor of a rookie.Either Lundkvist or Hakanpaa would have to go the other way. Pavelski can be placed on the 4th line and Smith can eat some nachos.
Yeah true. He should though.Pavelski will never be pushed down to the third line in favor of a rookie.
ShhhhThey are all treating dellandrea as a real asset in rumors. They probably haven't seen him play.
Making the playoffs is absolutely a true chase for the Cup in the NHL. I hate when people throw around that a team isn't a true contender. This is the freaking parity insanity NHL.Depth.
Also make the playoffs != truly chase for a cup
Hanifin it is.If Harley is going to be playing with Miro do y’all think the Stars should be going after a more offensive defenseman to play with Lindell. I still would rather a defenseman to play with Miro but that may have to wait.
Anderson + Walker is alrightHanafin was smoke and mirrors. We Andersson now.
I still think it needs to be a RHD or someone who is comfortable on the right but yes a more offensive one. I don’t want to break up Heiskanen and Harley. They are amazing together. But Suter needs someone who can carry him. Doubt DeBoer will break up Lindell and Hakanpaa.If Harley is going to be playing with Miro do y’all think the Stars should be going after a more offensive defenseman to play with Lindell.

. But Suter needs someone who can carry him.
Suter ideally would be a healthy scratch. He had a good game yesterday, but those are once a year things, not regular occurrence.Thats just not true. He can’t solely carry somebody in a top 4 position (partnered with Lindell or Miro is fine if in top 4) but he doesnt need a good or great partner if he’s in a 2B / 3rd pairing situation.
The Suter under-appreciation is at ridiculous levels now
