He’s looking like a Nurse/Jones clone.Dobson is maybe the most overrated player I have ever seen.
Just completely absent defensively and not good enough offensively to make up for it.Charmin soft defensively
He gets a lot of points from touching the puck vs driving play or shots.Just completely absent defensively and not good enough offensively to make up for it.
You wanna get nuts? Let's get nuts. What could a Barzal+Dobson package net us in return. That could have the potential to alter the trajectory of the franchise.Just completely absent defensively and not good enough offensively to make up for it.
Can't imagine any team willing to do that has the cap space for it without significant money coming back.You wanna get nuts? Let's get nuts. What would a Barzal+Dobson package net us in return
That's true, and I'm game for money in money out if there's a fit. Unfortunately like you mention I may have more success in NHL Be a GM Mode dealing in a trade like that.Can't imagine any team willing to do that has the cap space for it without significant money coming back.
CGY ANA and CBJ are the only teams that could fit Barzal or Dobson+Barzal. The next team is SJS with only 8.6 mil in cap.That's true, and I'm game for money in money out if there's a fit. Unfortunately like you mention I may have more success in NHL Be a GM Mode dealing in a trade like that.
I don’t think so, if he’s a free agent at the end of the year he can walk no one will pay a first for a rental.Palms can get a 1st by himself. Nelson can get a 1st + a prospect.
Henrique with a bunch of junk and retention for a 1st last deadline as a UFA to be.I don’t think so, if he’s a free agent at the end of the year he can walk no one will pay a first for a rental.
The next 3 games are against Anaheim, Columbus and Buffalo. I’m with you but the mood on this board may be way different in another week.
As with most seasons, it’s probably fairest to give it 20 games before any conclusions are made.
The ROI for Dougie Weight hockey is two first round picks: one, that keeps getting chance after chance and sucks, the other, all offense, scaried cat defensively and soon to get paid $9M. Yikes!
But the rebuild will only bring better returns. Guaranteed.
I've put Palmieri on my trade block in the past but if they still want to be competitive while at same time re-tooling with good drafting they might want to extend him . He still has good wheels and nose for the net and strong work ethic . Maybe he's satisfied with 3.5 x 2 years
How did you come up with that one?
Almodovar's All About My Mother was one of the more intriguing movies I ever watched. She wasn't in it, but she was in many of his movies.
Better yet, keep Nelson and Palmieri together and make Barzal the 2C, keeping Pageau and Cizikas in roles they are suited for.I don’t know why we refuse to try Nelson on the top line with Horvat and Barzal. We have a legit 30+ goal scorer right there and just don’t want to try him with our two other best offensive players. I can’t imagine having Nelson play another minute or two per night AND with the best forwards on the roster would be a bad thing. It’s not like he’s an elite two way forward or face off man and is locked down to center.

Dobson is maybe the most overrated player I have ever seen.
on pace for 40 right nowWaiting for the surroundings to catch up to Engvall's contract is not a good way to do business. We still haven't got a useful player, and his contract makes it hard to do anything with him. Even sending Engvall down to the AHL requires some cap gymnastics to bring him back up to the NHL. Had Duclair not gone on LTIR there was no way to bring Duclair back up even if he deserved a recall on merit.
The answer is don't give out stupid contracts.
Let someone else give it to him. 10 years between 30 goal seasons for Palmieri. Sell high.
they tried that for a few games last year. worked for the first couple, then stopped.I don’t know why we refuse to try Nelson on the top line with Horvat and Barzal.

I’m not saying he’s the biggest problem (by far) but he’s not an elite or game breaking talent worth 9 mil a year.I have my issues with Dobson but I still rank getting rid of the old core MUCH higher of an issue than Dobson currently.
What? Teams pay 1sts for rentals all the time.I don’t think so, if he’s a free agent at the end of the year he can walk no one will pay a first for a rental.
