Drouin, Danault and Lekhonen are kinda redundant and should all be shopped soon. At least Drouin is signed for cheap though.
In my opinion,

Danault is not moving. French Canadian and a great defensive/responsible center.

Lehkonen, we know he ain't scoring. I didn't notice how he plays "without the puck" because that's been his bread and butter...

Drouin .. has played poorly again and if it wasn't rivals, I'd see him in like Ottawa. He has no real value except if someone really wants him for whatever reason. a 50 point guy at this point (at best)... can he do more? maybe..................

Once Poehling is ready, I'm all for trading Danault. Drouin is cheap, but it's almost a waste of his skills playing him on the 3rd line. I'd rather move him for a D. Of the 3 I'd probably keep Lekhonen, but only as a bottom 6 winger.

Sadly, it's not a matter of when Poehling is ready, but if.

Gallagher just gives the goalie a pass when we are putting a shit ton of pressure on him. Elite IQ play by our best forward.

I think he wanted to either pass it behind the net or across the crease but fanned on it when deciding as he didn't know if Danault was going to stay in back or head to the front.

Gallagher always kills plays like that. He gets a pass because he's Gallagher.

Not a fan of waiting for players to push out a player. You need to make a call, if its gonna be KK, its KK, if its gonne be Danault, its Danault, if its gonna be Poehling, its poehling.

Waffling around doesn't work, never worked, never will.

I can see your point, but I'm old school. I hate seeing players rushed into a position. The league is changing though, so it might be time for me to alter my "Boomer" mentality.

Lekhonen can't score but he has the exact same number of goals as Danault.

Lekhonen and Danault are the exact same kind of players, players that aren't great at anything, but good enough defensively.

Then if Danaults not moving, two of Domi, KK and Poehling need to be moved. They need to make a f***ing call once in their life.

No balls POS management.

I can't think of a single player that was "rushed" that didn't pan out.

If a player can handle his role and is allowed to grow by his coach, he'll grow.

Ya but Lehkonen is known to have a good shot while everyone knows Danault sucks at scoring goals. Lehkonen's most common linemates this year are Domi who outscored any Hab in like a decade, and Suzuki who has been our best player lately. He's f***ing garbage offensively.

Evans is a smart cookie.

Just before he changed he stayed on the far right preventing the Canucks from throwing it up there and getting an odd man break, then rushed to get off to complete the change with no hiccups.

An argument can be made that KK was rushed. Even though I thought he did well last year. IMO mentally he was ready, but I didn't think he was physically quite ready.

Yes we all know Lekhonen is like the offspring of Pol pot and Pinochet for you.
