  • Xenforo Cloud has upgraded us to version 2.3.6. Please report any issues you experience.
We really don't need to do that. We have a bunch of giants in the system already, and both Rempe and Chmelar have got serious bite to their games, and look to have the odds in their favors to have NHL careers.

Having Colton Orrs on your roster nowadays just doesn't cut it. A guy needs to be able to play hockey too. Realistically, the only reason having Colton Orrs on the roster ever cut it was probably because every team in the league carried a face puncher who was a liability between the whistles.

I dont know what Colton Orr you remember, but he was more Kocur/Asham than Tanner Glass/Stu Bickel.

Not quite Probert/McSorley/Simon level, but not a liablity. For us anyway and the first few years in TO. Eventually yeah, he tailed off.

That said. Chemlar isnt anything yet, and Rempe is still raw and awkward because of body type. Its not abad thing to turn hot garbage into something useful by sacrificing immediate low reward retruns for down the road righer rewards, especially in a low-cost niche role that adds replenishable depth.

De Hann and a handful of our AHL guys are junk to us. A non playoff team. To a contender who depletes assets year in year out, De Hann and a skilled gamble may be face-value more immediately beneficial to his GM career than some "face puncher" with potential is 2+ years from now.

De Hann isnt getting us anything better than a 6/7 rd'er immediately. Id rather gamble that him plus a magic bean gets us a depth player that we can insert in a couple years when we are contending again and cap space is tight.
