Player Discussion Louis Crevier (RHD) acquired from Chicago

[Sometimes the Goalie]

Wow. I can't believe Crevier is coming back. He looks like a lot more than a throw in:

Nice find!

Breaking this out for his own thread.

 

[joshjull]

After hearing some comparisons to Stanley in the trade thread. I was pleasantly surprised by how well he skates in those highlights. Certainly much better than Stanley, as a skater anyway.

 

[joshjull]

Do we have two or three years of team control?

anyone know if he drops the gloves ?

if he does, is he good ?

 

[Sabresfansince1980]

He shows to be a RFA next summer and UFA after that.

I mean I've only seen a few clips so far, but he almost looks like our 2nd best skating d-man (not including Metsa or any of the fringe guys)

Not often. Stepped in to protect Bedard here -



That is his only major listed on Hockey Fights.

Not sure I understand why Chicago gave us him on top of everything else. Seems like a decent youngish player, at least serviceable.

They have a lot of young defensemen in their pipeline. Maybe it's a case of only so many minutes to go around? They already punted Allan to SJ and might be in the process of ruining Korchinski and Del Mastro too.

Crevier is one of the faster D in the league. He's like Stanley with rocket boosters.

"He's 6'8" everytime he steps on the ice" I snorted my drink at that.

As though they looked at Kesselring and thought "hey, we can get bigger" and landed him.

 

[Ace]

The obligatory picture of him standing next to Benson is going to hit like crack.

 

[Dirty Dog]

At minimum, love adding him the Metsa/Timmons tier as depth is important (I’m not calling him depth per se). It was a big part of this team last year. But he seems to have some upside. very nice

 

[Der Jaeger]

We needed a Louis

 

[Chainshot]

He was playing with Vlasic as the Hawks 1RD to end the year. I suppose the way to make sure an arbitration eligible RHD next summer goes from affordable to out of reach would be putting him on the 2nd pair with Power and letting them cook. Again.

 

[Beerz]

He PK?

 

[Dingo44]

Imagine what Ruff can turn this kid into - I could see this being a special project of his.

 

[Chainshot]

He PK?

Third on the Hawks behind Murphy and Vlasic with 149 minutes this past year. Chicago's PK was pretty good (also with Mikheyev and Dickinson up front too as very good PKers).

 

[Zman5778]

The more I read about this kid, the more I come to this conclusion:

What on earth was Davidson thinking here? This guy looks like he can play. His analytics are good, so his good play doesn't seem like a fluke.

We might have gotten something here. Maybe

Enjoy Sabres fans.
