I really dislike Bryan Rust's game. He's such a soft floater and he doesn't have the talent to do that.
I feel vindicated and it sucks.I really dislike Bryan Rust's game. He's such a soft floater and he doesn't have the talent to do that.
I hate to do it to Sid without some sort of replacement but the time to move on from Rust is this TDL or this off-season if there is a good taker.Rust will probably go on a heater or two that make his numbers look fine by the end of the season but there will be long stretches of games where he's playing like he is now
Ever notice he's having shorter seasons he's at a top line winger average (which his cap is based off of) and anything remotely to a full seasons rate he's meh.I really dislike Bryan Rust's game. He's such a soft floater and he doesn't have the talent to do that.
Rust hasn't been good on Sid's wing for a while, he produces sure, but that's all, they suck defensively with Rust and Rakell has always been the right fit for Sid's game in every way - it also makes DOC being on Sid's LW the right fit when Rakell is there. The fact that Sullivan keeps throwing him on the Top PP Unit is just typical favouritism for his boy Rusty.I really dislike Bryan Rust's game.

I don't think you get a good pick out of him but I would hope to take a 3rd liner making $2-3mil on a 1yr and a 2nd waive goodbye.
Rust was only useful when he had exceptional speed and acceleration.Should they move on from Rust? Absolutely.
Will they?? Ahahahahahahahahaha! Remember, he's part of the "core"
man, 3 more seasons after this one at 5+ per year... Like it or not, his contract will not age well and he will be really hard to move.Should they move on from Rust? Absolutely.

Shit, trade them both as a package deal, see if I care.The question will be if Kyle is smart enough to sell him before he has no value and if so, can he pry him out of Sully’s hands?
If I was Dubas, I’d approach Rust near the TDL, assuming we’re out of it as were trending lol, and ask him to waive if the right deal comes along…I’m not sure we’re going to get much if anything for him over the summer with 3 years left…but if he’s having a decent season, we might be able to sell a team in contention with taking the remainder of his contract if he helps them now, as the cap is going up again…tell Rust he’s as good as gone in the summer and maybe he’ll waive to a contender lol…Rust has no trade protection after this year. Some team looking for that sweet, sweet veteran leadership will be willing to pay for him.

I think next summer Detroit is the logical choice. This is likely Kane’s last year which would open up a roster spot and a team “dad” spot. Everyone thought he was signing there as a UFA since he’s from the area. Makes a lot of sense to me.If I was Dubas, I’d approach Rust near the TDL, assuming we’re out of it as were trending lol, and ask him to waive if the right deal comes along…I’m not sure we’re going to get much if anything for him over the summer with 3 years left…but if he’s having a decent season, we might be able to sell a team in contention with taking the remainder of his contract if he helps them now, as the cap is going up again…tell Rust he’s as good as gone in the summer and maybe he’ll waive to a contender lol…
Yeah, I just don’t think we’re getting anything back for him over the summer….but if Detroit is still interested in having him and they’re competing for a PO spot in March, then by all means, ask him to waive and consummate the trade…I think we may get something for him at the deadline versus over the summer with 3 years left, particularly if he’s hot and cold all seasonI think next summer Detroit is the logical choice.

We’ll get the Dubas special regardless: a day 2 pick in an upcoming draft and a former 3rd -5th round pick prospect.Yeah, I just don’t think we’re getting anything back for him over the summer….but if Detroit is still in having him and they’re competing for a PO spot in March, then by all means, ask him to waive and consummate the trade…I think we may get something for him at the deadline versus over the summer with 3 years left, particularly if he’s hot and cold all season
