Wasn't trying to twist any facts. First 10 games of season. I'd like to find that trade thread. See what poster's comments were when it was made and what they are now? Shows how wrong they usually are.

Considering that posters post about Subban back in the first month of the Subban Weber trade are you really surprised lol

Demidov is a HAB
But none of the legitimate contender teams. I get it, we've been bad at C for so long but if you've watched the playoffs the last five years, you know what level your Cs need to be to win it all.

If he continues playing in this fashion, he is a legit #2 on a contender. Of course no contender would trade for him because they already have their #2. What's working against Domi for you I'm assuming is the small sample size and that's when you have to look at the player's attributes. Kotkaniemi has an even smaller sample size as a center are you going to dismiss him as a 1 or 2?
When the trade was made the only worry I had was his defensive coverage but right now he provides decent defensive play and I can see improvements in that part of his game.
His offensive play is elite so if he brings his defensive coverage a notch or two higher we have a gem on our hands or as the Idiot would say a diamond in the rough.

What do you mean by production? He's actually tied at 10th among centers.

He's been better than advertised, and what makes it even more impressive is that he missed pretty much all of preseason.
He was supposed to have limited rythym and synchronicity with his mates.
Theres no other way to put it. He's been legit impressive.

You know what's ironic about your post? The GM that traded Domi is suppose to be one of these young analytics gurus. The numbers told him that Domi wasn't a center.

Galchenyuk trade has nothing to do with Subban trade. They were traded for different reasons. Going to get different results. Should anyway. You are comparing apples to oranges there.
Every Hab fan would redo the Galchenyuk trade. Domi adds speed, work ethic and tenacity. A 100 times out of 100. For Domi has been what they wished Galchenyuk would have been when they drafted him.

Wait. Are you saying I should be disappointed 10 games in?
Chill with your negativity.

Wait, it's only 10 ten games.
Everyr ten games change the number, repeat and rinse.

I would re-do the Galchenyuk trade. I would put together a package that doesn't include Galchenyuk to acquire Domi. It's great that we acquired Domi, a young legit top 6 level talent. But we only have 4 of those in the organization (KK, Domi, Drouin, Gallagher). Domi was on the block, we should have kept Galchneyuk (a 5th young top six talent) and acquired him for other assets (some package from our 2 early 2nds, Weber, Lehkonen, Armia, Hudon, Scherbak, Byron, Shaw etc..)

You're right, Domi by himself doesn't tilt the ice. But the chemistry he has with our other players does. The other guys look completely different this season, and he's go to get some credit for that.
At the end of the day what more can we really expect? Yes I would rather have a "real" 1C but the GM we have, who obviously is here to stay for some f***ed up reason, has proven himself incapable of getting us that kind of player. So if Domi is the best we can hope for, and is actually doing well here, I'm not going to complain. Of course, it is early, and given his history he could go half a season putting nothing up on the board because he's a streaky guy.

I was ecstatic when we got Domi but he isn't a #1. If you expect him to be or if he is placed in the lineup as one, you will be disappointed. He's a great #2 and let's be happy about that.

That's funny. How come many posters didn't take this sober advice during the pre-season when Domi over-reacted to being slashed and cross-checked. Everyone was more than happy to forget it was only one game into the trade and a pre-season game at that. Oh the hypocrisy.

I think you were looking for the words "if and when". I'm not sure he'll be a #1.
