Useless by 30? What makes you say that?I hope he plays now he's going to be slowing down and useless by 30 so what are we looking at if not now? A 4 year career?

Pelech still makes bonehead plays. Those errors undermine the steady stretches he has from game to game.I think Pelech could use some time in Bridge. He hasn't been very good this year. Scratching Pelech won't help his game and I don't think they can send him down without waivers.

Trots with a lot of praise for Towes in the post game. Thought he might be our best defenseman tonight.
He isn’t probably a top pair guy but he and Aho can be 2nd pair guys, our depth is really good as far as puck moving and skating defensemenHe was very good against a highly skilled top six for Dallas. Never looked out of place.
I thought the same thing. Pair him with Boychuck and let's see how he develops.He was very good against a highly skilled top six for Dallas. Never looked out of place.
The kid also played his off side on the road in his debut. Talk about a tough way to come into the league. He looks like a slick pick handling defender who has some real strength to his game (at least relative to his size) as well as some decisiveness. I’m not sure we have a defender who has all three of those attributes. Perhaps Pulock.
Trotzsky has a real decision to make going forward now as Toews should really be in this lineup. There have been reasons (real and concocted) why he hasn’t been up yet but at this point, it seems clear that it wasn’t simply hype. It’s obviously only one game, but whether it’s Hickey or Pelech, someone should be coming out.
Toews certainly looked like he belonged in the NHL last night. He's had quite a bit of development time and he's not a kid so I wasn't surprised. Really impressed with his wheels, he skates like Leddy and I love that. This kid is 'over ripe'.
I agree that he's an upgrade on Hickey and Pelech. I hated that Hickey deal when it happened, I hate it even more now. Pelech is easily moved if we go that route, probably the most likely outcome because Hickey has that contract.

If Towes turns out to be as good as Stefan Perrson we got a good one then.LOL I remember the Swede. But that Swede didn't skate as fast as Toews.
I’m too young to remember persson but to me Toews could be similar to josh morrisey in Winnipeg, Toews is bigger but they are similar in my non scout credentialed opinion.If Towes turns out to be as good as Stefan Perrson we got a good one then.
“Experts!”
I love when Stan goes full angry “Fishtick Fisherman” on the Toronto “Mediaticians”
