Player Discussion John Merrill: a.k.a. Joe Dirt, a.k.a. Letterkenny Extra Edition

[Adriatic]

At least this will be good for Romanov. He'll finally get to play with a stable veteran partner he doesn't have to watch out for. I had enough of him having to make up for Mete shortcomings. He needs someone stable where he can get to just focus on his game.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

He has a 0.925 cap hit and we removed Mete 0.735 Cap hit, so we still have loads of cap space to make another move.
Hoffman?

What the hell happened?

Quarantine in the defensive zone

If you'd rather have a 5th than an upgrade on Mete/Ouellet/Leskinen and a potential upgrade on Kulak if another move is made by tomorrow, or when Chiarot comes back, you're certainly entitled to your opinion.

As our Dcore stands now, when Chiarot comes back, Mete and Kulak are no longer in the top 6.

Actually ya, I'd rather keep the pick, use it for something else because this trade doesn't move the needle one bit. An upgrade on Kulak isn't what we need.

 

[26Mats]

Um with Chiarot coming back, he’s not getting another d man.
If this is the only move made, they will definitely miss the playoffs

If he made another move, Chiarot would move to the 3rd pair and Merrill to the stands as the insurance 7th D, and Kulak would move to #8.

How is that a problem?

Mans dusty, I like him just for that.

So you're happy with Kulak?

He’s not making another move to pick a dman. I have no problem with Merrill. He’s a 6. But when you can’t score , merril on his own does zero

 

[Fazkovsky]

It is actually. We can’t score. 7 goals in last 4 games
He gets Merrill to QB the pp. lol. He’s so fired

its not to qb the pp , mete Romanov are doing squat both offensively n defensively

The answer is right there in your post: Detroit

Do you think he'll try catfish noodlin' in the St Lawrence?

Detroit happened.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

A dman who scored 12 goals in the nhl 66 points in 300games turning 30.
Another useless plug with 0 uses.

Upgrade over Mete probably but still barely a third pair dman
Like I said last night , another deadline more useless players

 

[Habs13]

If he made another move, Chiarot would move to the 3rd pair and Merrill to the stands as the insurance 7th D, and Kulak would move to #8.

How is that a problem?

If...

 

[Habby4Life]

I didn’t know the TD has passed. If this is the only move than yeah I can see why people would not like it.

 

[salbutera]

Just kind of seems like more of what we have?

Sort of - Habs are a very good 5-on-5 team which Merrill helps with...whatever

 

[26Mats]

He’s not making another move to pick a dman. I have no problem with Merrill. He’s a 6. But when you can’t score , merril on his own does zero

If he doesn't make another move on D by 3pm tomorrow, I will definitely be complaining then.

But it's not 3pm yet and it's not April 12th. So why complain about what he hasn't done by tomorrow when we're still a day away from tomorrow.

 

[yianik]

Do you know the price to acquire one of these ? + Ekholm will possibly stay in Nashville now that his team is doing well and will possibly make the Playoffs.

I said ..like... . But thats what we need. An upgrade on the 3rd pairing is fine, but we need a PMD to play with Weber.

You've clearly never been to Detroit

 

[Skip Bayless]

He actually played forward at some point with Vegas. Look at them hands.

 

[Kriss E]

So you're happy with Kulak?

I don't care about Kulak. I'm unhappy with Weber/Ed/Chiarot in the top 4. That's our problem.
Bringing in Merrill isn't going to improve this.

 

[Maitz]

Im pretty sure it’s not THE MOVE, basically he only replaced Mete.

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

Martin Riggs #2.
Same character.

 

[David Suzuki]

I think he will probably help on the PK, at least.

 

[PhysicX]

Habs acquired Joe Dirt

Fits right in with Weber

 

[FrankMTL]

He kinda looks like Joe Dirt...

In fact, I think his nickname will be Joe Dirt
