I suspect Green will put either Greig on the wing or Pinto at center and move Cozens to the wing. If they don't acquire another top 6 winger, I think it'll be Giroux unless Zetterlund has a lot of chemistry with Eklund. Green had him on the 4th line a lot as he just wasn't working out in the top 9.
The problem I have with Halttunen is that he has a great shot but can’t get it off. He has two things going for him, which are his shot and his size/physcality. But if he can’t actually get his shot off, then there’s nothing he really brings to the table. The defense and puck management aren’t good enough to give him a clear-cut role on the fourth line. So he’s basically a lite version of this year’s Patrik Laine if, and it’s still a remote chance, he even hits that upside.
If we're dreaming here
Im here til Thursday. Try the veal! G'night folks!
Eklund is a 7th overall pick and he's already has over 200 NHL games so that even better then 9th! and he's only 23 still improving his game
I guess but that Cullen kid might be sitting there and he looks like another Cooley to me. I guess will see.
He had a decent rookie season in the A, if he can work on his skating there might be something there. Project sure, but there is more than 4th line upside.
It’s interesting how when Eklund was a Shark, everyone said he had reached his ceiling. Now that he’s not a Shark, he’s only 23 and still improving!
If he does the thing he’s being trying and failing to do for years, maybe he has a remote shot at being a third liner, sure.
Pretty good way of looking at it. Staios said Sens weren’t taking a step back and he’s at least come pretty close to achieving that
