Player Discussion Drake Batherson (RW) - Part II

[Micklebot]

or go at the TDL in his last year
I like Batherson a fair bit and think this is a shit spell he is going through. He'll come out of it

When he's on his game he is dominant, really hoping he can get back to his usual self

I like Bath but I would be ok with hockey trade that nets us a similar value player who brings more of what we need.

I feel he is going to go the Zibanejad route. I don't think he is figuring it out here.

I don't think Zibanejad's career doesn't really have much to do with his scenery. He put up the same numbers in New York for the first two seasons. No reason why he couldn't put it all together in Ottawa if we kept him.

With that being said I don't mind shopping him if the price is right. And by that, I don't mean for a player 5 years older than him who puts up the same numbers (like with Zib and Brassard).

Granted it was the Hawks, but Bath played great! Incoming multi goal game

 

[PlayOn]

He’s so good when he’s using his size to protect the puck. I think eventually he will find more consistency. Him and Perron were fun to watch together last night.

 

[Icelevel]

Good game last night. Best in a while. That’s how he needs to play.

I wonder if Brady and Bath have a groupchat. A1 game plan strategy between these two lol

 

[Sun God Nika]

Hopefully that good game can extend to the rangers and Det before he turns off again.

It’s been tough few months for drake, but to his credit when he is on he scores in bunches. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him at or slightly above PPG pace to finish the year. Hopefully last game was the start of his confidence rebuilding.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Literally night and day difference last game vs last 25 games.

Batherson was juking guys off their jockstraps. He can be an absolute force in this league.

He has another level yet in him. 80+ points level. Here or elsewhere is tbd.

Agree to disagree. He is not the same player and I feel that some guys need a shakeup of a trade to understamd that your team doesn't want you anymore and won't put up with your inconsistent shit anymore.

Batherson last night was great. Which guy is showing up Saturday
