Over 321 games played, he has strung together one “Great” season of 51 games. The rest of it is unspectacular, if not solid while being somewhat injury riddled.
I think Fox said it best. The Kings don’t have offensive personnel on the LD. Better to tame a wild cat than pretend a domestic cat is one.
Thought about that too. I still think JC goes East. Kings likely make a smaller move. Ghost would fit the bill.I still think there's a lot to like about a Chychrun trade including the natural transition from Doughty/Chychrun to Chychrun/Clarke but the longer this drags out the less I care and the more I'd like to see a mini-move for someone like Gostisbehere, who could play excellent with Roy, but Maatta would never get benched so
Young star players traded in their prime is always rare.
Who is coming on the left side?
What about an excess in prospects that may never see the light of day? Do we continue to let them depreciate and head to waivers?
He’s 23 and broke into the nhl at age 18. Since then he’s been good and great. .5 ppg defenseman in his early career. 12 and 18 goals the last two years while not being leaky on defense. What do you want out of a young dman?
Scuderi-Doughty
I would like to not cough up the reported 3 first round pick asking price for a .4ppg defenseman that is going to be a part of a large bidding process this year. It’s the wrong price, for the wrong piece, at the wrong time.
It sounds like you are penalizing the kid for breaking in early (by using his lack of multiple great years) but I’ll bow out here.
A high water mark from Mitchell that particular year doesn’t negate the fact that his time with LA was spent much closer to the 10 point mark than the 20 point mark, and it doesn’t change the player he is.
