you do know who his employer is, don't you?
Maybe give an offersheet to Seider
Thanks. Funny how he's saying that about Holland now but he was kissing his ass last year

A Seider offer sheet from someone would be hilarious. They’ve got a pile of overpaid garbage and then one legit dman. They’d have to match pretty much no matter what the offer was.

Looks like we’ll have 4.4M to spend at the TDL. Any good RHD on expiring contracts this year?

I believe Broberg was deliberately neutered to play a more conservative play style and to be more of a DFD. That, coupled with his sporatic deployment, have led to his development being stifled as a result.
Broberg has, not a single time, shown the elite skating rushes that he did prior to being drafted. I think Woody/Manson neutered him on purpose, and he had most of his dynamic play coached out of him to play a safe bottom pairing role. The guy that was supposed to be a puck carrying dynamo and the best skater in the draft now suddently is supposed to play like a third line plug and completely change his style of play. You could just feel how brainwashed he was in his early games with the team; at least that's my interpretation given he looked so scared to actually do anything dynamic, like he was being told not to, because we have fwds that can do it. I don't think people realize the effect that having mcdavid does on a team's makeup and how they decide to deploy complimentary pieces. It's get the puck to the fwds as fast as possible and don't do anything stupid or you are going to bakersfield. When, in reality, elite offense is driven from the back-end.
I don't disagree that he's gotten some chances and hasn't looked the best until recently, but I feel like they were skewed becaues of the above, which all contributes to why he wanted tf out. And now that he's finally ascending, he would have to start his full-time nhl career on his off side, to boot, if he signed that cheap deal for us.
So I think yeah, he partially didn't do enough with his chances, but also a lot of those chances were a result of his development being de-prioritized to fit into a bottom pairing role.
I hope these serve as a lesson learned to all involved but especially this new front office and how we approach player development

His best season he was paired with Barrie and put up close to 40 points playing 26 minutes a night. He was also 7th on Norris votes. This was also his most productive goal scoring year. His first bridge deal he showed major potential playing with green jacket Schultz. He needs a puck mover the proof is glaring. As soon as we give him a shutdown partner he craters. Larrson Ceci are perfect examples of this.
Yup. Still its hilarious how the guy does a 180
Agreed. I know a lot of people don't like Nurse on here but, points wise, he does so very good every year. He needs someone stable with or a puck mover

Give offer sheets to both Seider and Raymond! That's how it's done now (apparently)

Larsson if he’d come back since it’s been a while since his dad passed. Otherwise you’re looking at someone playing their offside like Chychrun/Provorov, or someone with term like Andersson/Murphy

Heard he’s pretty crappy lately. I liked him a lot immediately after the Trouba trade. But apparently he’s not that good anymore.

Hm that’s it eh. Slim pickings for RHD like most years. I’d take Lars back all day long though if he’s game.
Yes, the year he got a career high offensive start ratio. His second highest PP time/game in his career.
Exactly as I said, its when he is not deployed as a shutdown D is when he excels. It co-incides when he is with a better puck mover, i.e. an offensive D man. Its correlation, not causation.
At least we know he’s looking. I wonder what Holland would’ve done

For better or worse Nurse mimics the partner he is deployed with. With Larrson and VD he played a shutdown game which as you said does not suit his skill set . With Barrie and Schultz it was a puck moving or at least puck skating game. I think the reason for this is to try and compliment his partner more so than anything else. Nurse saw very little PP time once Barrie arrived though so I don’t get that statement at all.

Nurse is far from a puck mover, he is a puck carrier/transporter. Not sure if anyone keeps tabs on how many times players ice the puck but Nurse has to be our team leader or close to it.

He would be golfing 6 days a week as well.
With what cap are we going to trade for a top 4 d before the deadline smarty pants? Lol

This was obvious. But many were blinded to it.
I look forward to him busting.

Could see Barrie back @1M as a stopgap until the deadline. Waive Josh Brown, put Nurse with a pmd.
