That was talked about 4 mins after the game was over. By the same idiots who have the same stupid takes all year.
He brought more than I ever would have imagined, and I was one of the few who approved of the trade despite the cost.
I'd explore every avenue for moving Dillon or telling him he's going to be an expensive 7th D.If I’m Keefe, I’m probably pounding the table to Fitz to find a way to keep him.
The consensus was he did well in Anaheim in a more reduced role compared to the year before in Seattle where he struggled in an elevated role. I know it was a small sample here, but his calm demeanor back there really did wonders for us in this series.
It is pretty deniable. The first real playoff run everyone was goalied by Igor for the most part. That’s why Timo had 0 points in that series.
Let’s see what Dillon’s injury is. If there’s any semblance truth to rumors out there, Dillon could potentially be done anyway. Not that I want that to be true.
I think that defense is not mobile or productive enough. If Dillon is done or can be jettisoned, I’d look to fill that spot with someone who is more versatile than just being a “stay at home”. No idea how realistic that is though with all the other needs at forward.
For the longest time I figured it would make more sense to keep Haula and boot Palat, but I’ve had a change of heart in the last 48 hours. Palat can probably be serviceable at the bottom of the lineup. Haula showed he can’t do a single thing no matter what. If we have to keep one it’s gotta be Palat.
Well one of the usual suspects said they'd trade Bratt for depth and Mercer which shows you how stupid some of our fanbase is. You trade the teams leading scorer, from a team starving for goals, and "depth", for me depth.
Depth is this team’s greatest need…so we trade a forward who’s good enough to play in the middle six for…what exactly? How does this improve our biggest need?
Mercer seems like the most movable piece for a forward upgrade. Or a piece you’d logically expect to be in a Quinn trade. I’m not dealing him for futures, but we haven’t gotten a whole lot from him for a couple seasons now.
mercer is a bottom 6 player at this point i'm fine keeping him as long as thats where he stays and thats where he plays. you aren't getting much for him and your just going to have to replace him with another player if you trade him so hes a good age and good value contract keep him bottom 6. get some top line talent and move everyone down in the lineup thats what missing.
