Speaking of Nikita Zadorov

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

Wow, he seemed good when he first got here but the last half of last season did really badly. Maybe an injury cause this seems much higher than his worth with us last season

but he rebounded to have an excellent in the nashville series before a horrendous (iirc injury-impacted) edmonton series

3 of them gone. Unbelievable

Noted canucks legends Carson soucy and Nikita Zadorov.

I am saying he would not have to play against the other teams top players... like he is/was there. Like this isn't some hard thing to understand. We had Petey and Miller to start the year to draw top defenders and the other teams best.

He would not have been worth the contract, but he would be doing better in a more sheltered roll.

So you think he would have performed better here in a more sheltered roll. What about his offensive production? Better or worse?

Yes it would be better, playing with Garland in sheltered minutes.

In boston sure he got to play with Pasta, but its a bad fit for him, plus he is going against other teams top pairs then and top centres. That more than offsets playing with a great player.

If he was a winger I am sure it would be easier... but he isn't.

But Garland has been playing up the lineup more this year and like I said with Miller and Petey's struggles, what are the chances of Tocchet playing Lindholm in a 3C sheltered role? I think it's more likely that Lindholm would have been given prime matchup C duties.

His last goal for us was a game winner, and in his first period with the new team he scores again!

 

[Bobby9]

JT up to 16 points since he left

 

[David71]

what if van didnt include branstrom in the miller deal and picked somebody else? puck moving ability would still be okay. deharnais goes, they still get mpetey/doc. hughes not 100 percent stil injured. soucy still gets traded.

Holy crap a public sighting of Jim Benning! He is at the HOF inductee ceremony of the Portland Winterhawks.
