You can, but if we try to roll a defensive oriented 3rd line, and a lot of people want to see that so as to take some of the workload off Nico, then Grits, especially in year 1, probably doesn't fit.
They can run a balanced third line then can be used both offensively and defensively. Devils don't even have the personnel to run a shutdown third line.
Would depend upon the center acquisition, as well as a potential winger acquisition.
I can totally see the goalie position going belly up again.
Wedgewood has gone on to have a decent career as a traveling #2.
Not the 2- 2nds part! Avs are in cap hell, it wont take that much. Only paid a 2nd to get him when his #s were better. Coming off an injury postseaosn wher he did not play a bunch. Talk to CBJ about using one of their 3 retention slots for a pick/prospect to eat 50%. They have $40M to spend, FLOOR $70.6M
You could also make the point that Clemmensen had a decent career in the same way.
Because on our team top 6 plays with Nico and Jack. Timo and Bratt will also likely be with those 2, and thus playing top 6 means you will be with talented players. We don't yet know who the 3rd line center is, but it's unlikely he will be as good as our top 6 guys. Same for third line wingers.
It's kind of a big difference on this team though, playing with Nico/Jack as opposed to playing with ????
I wonder how common this is. Goalies who struggle to catch on in the league until their late 20's early 30's and then settle in as solid enough backups.
You're welcome, I actually had an argument with a girl at a bar one night because she put Bruce's version in the jukebox and I told her that was really a Tom Waits song, she got red in the face and almost slapped me, calling me a liar etc etc etc, my advice to all is, let an Irish girl enjoy her Guiness and just sing along !!!!!!!!!!
32 years old in a couple weeks. Shot and point rate have dropped significantly the last couple years. Doesn't play defensive minutes.
