Yeah, with all of the new UFAs, who knows. I think a lot of plans got completely scrambled today. The one thing I can predict is the trade options are probably being put on hold while teams instead try to see which of these free agents they can get for a steal.
I guess asking a simple question about a thing literally everyone is speculating about counts as media pressure in Dallas.
Hey, some of us are tired of, or at least recognize the tendency for this board and some media to pick a scapegoat every year and demand they be dumped, with Guri, Faksa, Klinger, Suter and a few others earning(?) our wrath for an entire year, sometimes for one bad play or pretty vague reasons. If you believe PDB knows what he is doing as a respected NHL coach, and gave Suter the playing time he did, maybe someone who knows more about hockey than we do has a different opinion.......and may be right............NAH!
What media? No one is talking about the Dallas Stars. Half the guys you listed have been dumped. If your best argument is appeal to authority, the authority that decided to insult rather than explain, maybe the position isn't sound.
100% agree. I don’t think he is good enough to be playing in the league but some GMs think his intimidation factor has value. But a multi year contract is truly laughable.
Yup. Suter isn’t a big problem. The lack of another defensemen that is better than Suter on the roster is the problem. He needs to be further down the depth chart.
If they choose to attack the problem that way I have no problem with it. The issue is I doubt they will.
I hope the tweet where they said they “need” a defensemen is how they really feel. Just hope they mean an impact defensemen. Not 3rd pair.
