Semin is done in this league. MB should look towards, Anaheim, Calgary, Columbus, etc for forwards to upgrade the 2nd line.

Now? He could not be defended day 1 imo. I and many others called it a bad trade the day it was made.

it wouldnt have been that bad if Eriksson was still able to put up 70pts .. Eriksson at 70pts + Smith at 50 pts + Morrow who will be a solid Dman. Eriksson declined hard, I have no idea why

Not a very crisp game. A lot of sloppy play in the neutral zone. Those icings are going to hurt eventually as well.

The team needs to tighten up in the third.

Semin created some opportunities with some nice passes and his goal was a rocket of a shot, what you are saying is definitely not true. He suffers from bad brain cramps and is responsible for keeping his line pinned in their own zone on a few occasions but that line was more dangerous offensively with him in the lineup.

Yeah, I would like to see Semin get another shot. But he does have to stop making stupid plays. I thought he looked strong along the boards and his talent was apparent. I think he could be effective if he would simplify his game.

Also, I think Galchenyuk could benefit from simplifying.

Not sure why Byron was on Waivers ... even if he doesnt have a finishing touch he plays very smart hockey and is good defensively who wouldnt want that on the 4th line.

Joe Colborne Sean Monahan Jiri Hudler
Johnny Gaudreau Sam Bennett David Jones
Josh Jooris Matt Stajan Michael Frolik
Lance Bouma Mikael Backlund Michael Ferland
Mason Raymond, Brandon Bollig

Byron doesn't crack their top 12. Raymond would not get claimed and they would have to pay him 3M to play in the minors. Bollig is physical.

A numbers game basically.

Possession stats are night and day with that 2nd line when Semin is playing. Although they're improving with Smith-Pelly over Flynn (obviously).

@Ayan_SB How sweet that you're so obsessed with me that you kept a tweet from nearly 3 years ago.

Nothing against him personally, but I tried to follow him. Too annoying. I'm sure he's a nice guy and works hard and all that, but god damn.

Just got him during intermission from work and now I see ****ing Pageau scored SH. What the hell, this guy is absolute garbage vs. any other team and a world destroyer vs. Montreal.

Annoying little puke.

I'm sure he is. I can admire he's a big fan and all that but I think he's comical as an analyst. That's all it is. A guy who knows very little but acts like he knows it all.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.
