I've never seen "It" with Owen Power. I just have never been a fan.
Speculation: Roster Building Thread : Part XVIII ( TDL is March 7th)
- Thread starter Leonardo87
- Start date
There are bad contracts and there are bad contracts.
Owen Power may be the worst contract out there ever. No thanks.

Then Kreider, Jones, Othmann and Schneider for Peterka and a 1st in this draft since it's the weaker one. No Byram. f*** Byram. Who even brought him up? He sucks. Sign Chychrun. Trade Panarin for Fiala.Byram is just Schneider except...uh...
Byram is just Schneider
Byram is just Schneider except...uh...
Byram is just Schneider
He’s worse imo.
If you think Schneider can’t defend, wait until you see Byram!

Byram's worst full season pts/60 is better than Schneiders best full season pts/60 so I can't say I see the comparison. You can say Byram has played with better forwards but how'd that work out for Lindgren playing with Fox and the top line offense? Not to mention Byram being an elite goal scorer in junior and Schneider not being good offensively at all.

They're both decent at driving offense but not good enough scorers to really justify their existence, and both of them are horrendous defensively.
That Byram scores more points doesn't move the needle for me at all. He doesn't score enough of them.

As promised, Heres a bit of Bowen Byram! Note that these are just basically goals against, there are plenty of chances against that haven't resulted in goals over the last few weeks but I don't know how to cut video/really have the time to do anything more in-depth.
tl;dr: He sucks. Tuffness folks would hate him, eye test people would hate him, analytics people would hate him.

- For a change, he actually has the player's stick but also, with no resistance, allows himself to get backed up and effectively allows the screen to be set. I get it, Podkolzin is a load but you at least HAVE to try to move him.

- The weak clear around the boards is nit picky as theres pressure there, but LOL at actually getting to where the traffic is and just... standing there. No engagement with either Panther even though he's within breathing distance of both. A+ effort in making it look like you made an effort when you actually didn't.

- Tries to make a play to shake Guentzel on his backhand instead of just sending the puck up the wall the other way with authority and then decides to double up on Paul which leaves Guentzel wide open. Not lost on me that Power leaked out too far but that is a nothing burger if Byram doesn't go freelancing. I'm not even THAT bothered by the turnover because guy is trying to make a play, sometimes it doesn't work. It's the pouring of the gasoline on the fire he started that is the issue.

- If this were Lindgren we could point to a lack of athletic ability. Byram is a tremendous athlete who can really skate, why is he reaching and moving like he forgot to take the butt plug out before driving to the rink?

-Sick pass bro.
And maybe my favorite of the bunch.
www.nhl.com
- The Power misplay is a thing but... Where the f*** is Byram going?
Bonus:
This is who he is. Misfiring on a pass or turning the puck over every now and then isn't that big of a deal, those things happen.
The lack of engagement is a f***ing problem. Maybe he's afraid to get dinged again because he has the concussion history and okay, that would make sense but that doesn't make it okay.
All of these are from Feb 28th to yesterday. He's gotten his ass reamed when being paired with anyone who isn't Dahlin.
He will get a chance somewhere because he's got size (6'1" 205, someone called him small, he isn't small) he can skate and he can shoot really well.
The rest of his game is putrid. Don't want any part of him here.

They were barely within shouting distance in any of those games. The Flames and Hurricanes games are some of the few we could have gotten loser points in.
Our former 1st round pick will belong to Pittsburgh unless we finish in the bottom 13.
If we do finish in the bottom 13 and don’t give that pick to the Penguins then they will receive our 2026 pick non-protected.

I wonder if Drury would be targeting Boeser after trading Kreider, considering how Boeser and JT Miller were really effective together in Van and apparently good buddies as well.

On the contrary -- Trading KK was just another part of the trade/waive "any player who is not happy to be here" movement. It was obvious KK was not happy with his playing time or the persistent scratches. He sealed his fate when he finally questioned his coach's decisions publicly.
I hope not. He’s a good goal scorer but he’s really limited otherwise.
We already tried Panarin and friends.

But he wasn’t wrong
He also shut up about it for the longest time.
IF theres anything to get on him for, this isn't it.
Lavi is an ass clown.
some variant of this ^, maybe turns into a package, maybe we add Sykora, they Sea adds something
but some version of this
Not even remotely close
Dahlin at least >>> Fox

Actually, I just said that and didn't realize until somebody pointed it out. That's a good movie.

Bringing in Torts would have Zibs and Krieder begging to be traded lol I would watch alot more after game press conferences as well, I'm going to get flamed for this but I would bring in Messier. The story line alone would be worth it. If he won a cup as the coach it would be legendary.
