Lmao reading comprehension
You just said I avoided it, , you’re very confused, you change your mind every 2 minutes, try and stick to one thought, instead of being the captain of team goalpost moves.
Imo Seider will become a good partner for a true number one. Edvinson will grow into a good second pairing guy. ASP still could become that much needed difference maker. Only so much money to go around. Second contracts for guys will eat up cap. Yzerman needs to keep from stalling the rebuild.
Larkin is currently ranked #15 center in the entire NHL:
They're 3rd in goals% among NHL d-pairs this season. That's insane. And functionally impossible if your opinion was even close to accurate.
Didn’t bother looking at the defensemen list, but that list of centers is god awful.Larkin is currently ranked #15 center in the entire NHL:
Seider is currently ranked #20 in the NHL among all defensemen:
The Hockey News thinks he should be ranked higher, but what's holding him back is he only scored 50 points. Seider just needs to increase his points to move up the ranking.
Edvinsson is a rookie, he isn't ranked yet. The next ranking will certainly have him high up on the list. He honestly looks like he could surpass the already amazing Seider.
Wings #1 and #2 Dmen are set for the next 15 years! They are already one of the best pairing in the NHL right now... Just wait until they hit their prime!
Laugh all you want but Nick Leddy has been very good on a top pairing with Parayko that has seen extremely difficult deployment. You won’t find many Blues fans who aren’t perfectly happy with that trade right now, even if there were a lot who disliked it at the time.
FWIW I thought it was a good trade for Detroit at the time. Happy with how things have worked out for the Blues tho.
You’re right but judging from their other posts in this thread the poster you’re quoting doesn’t seem interested in facts or reasonable discussion.You're just making things up now.

Leddy was not acquired by St. Louis as a "cap dump". They were a playoff team and won a series that year. They acquired him to improve their team. That literally doesn't even make sense as he had an expiring contract and Detroit wasn't clearing out cap to make another move.
They signed him to a 4-year extension that offseason which is not a thing a team does for a "cap dump".
Good for Leddy. Thought he got a bit of a bum rap in Chicago. Didn’t see his NYI stint, and Detroit was a matter of surroundings.
It’s an opinion. Imo Edvinson will develop into a solid second pairing guy on a winning team. Guys play higher in the lineup than they should on clubs that aren’t good. That doesn’t make them that level of player. With both Seider and Edvinson (imo) they are playing roles above what they are capable of. They both still have runways of development left. And I believe they will be good. Just in the appropriate roles. Seider will be a good #2. Edvinson will grow into a good 3/4. Neither, right now should be carrying a top pairing. It’s an opinion.
