I'm sure fans don't want him to go. But, I would be stunned if they moved Weegar before his extension even starts after he was a part of the Tkachuk trade.
It has never been 100% analytics.
Yeah, I agree. LD is fine is the fit is right (Chych, Ekholm). I'll take Right shot on 2 equal options though.
That’s a damn fine looking top 6 and it’s well within reason. Mayfield would be a huge add, I’ve been wanting him for years.
Graves was in Benders good graces because he decide to take booking shots seriously. But once Jared losses confidence in you, it's over. The fans opinion doesn't matter. Bednar's matters.Guy has a couple of bad games in a playoff series (ok, really bad games), and the entire fanbase turned on himBut I think the Avs dumped him trying to get anything before they lost him to Seattle in Expansion.
If I remember correctly, Colorado's PK dropped off quite a bit with his departure early that next season, and he's been good in that department for the Devils. Big, mobile D, wins battles and can PK.
I only brought him up because he has been suggested as a target in here by others, and I wanted to draw a reference to age and where he was when he was Joker's age (still in the minors), which put some context on how young Joker still actually is as an NHL defenseman.
I honestly don't see Graves as a realistic option because I think he is going to be pretty overpaid for what he brings, so I don't think Adams goes there, but I do think the Sabres are a better team with him in Bryson's place on that third pairing. He's been actually solid for Jersey, and I think this team could use a 3rd pairing guy that can win some puck battles and can take a lot of Dahlin's PK minutes. With that in mind, I would not complain if he were brought in, as long as they don't think he is the top 4 solution and the term and AVV aren't too long/high.
I'm about as pessimistic as they come about Adams actually doing anything, but I'd be surprised if Bryson and Olofsson are back. Olofsson from a pure numbers perspective, and Bryson because someone has to be the odd man out and I think he'll be the pick.
Make that 10. I mean its really 10. Its that hard to believe a coach would leave a goalie in for 10 goals.
What numbers? Olofsson can’t find his way out of the lineup now and they aren’t going to add a forward with experience to block young players…who aren’t likely to be here next year. He’s a stop gap that was signed for two years for that exact reason
I think they'll add one piece.
You have ten forwards, none of whom are fit for a defensive-only line role:
Iirc when the Kings were world beaters and Sutter pulled Quick after 2 goals that weren't even his fault and screamed at the bench they don't deserve him as a goalie tonight. They stepped up and ended up winning. It can really set a precedent to the rest of the team but you need to be that kind of man in command.
I hope the team gets an earful from Comrie after this.
Comrie is an awful goalie, 3rd stringer at best. He's getting paid millions he has no gripe.
