[Bouboumaster]

[Kobe Armstrong]

Slafkovsky

 

[Vachon23]

Armia

 

[BLONG7]

Who ever plays like $hit, ala Drouin, and deserves it...................

 

[26Mats]

Slafkovsky

ouf, I hope not.

Armia

Armia, Gally, and Allen are contracts we're stuck with that might not live up to them. We'll see how badly they decline. Armia may still be a useful 4th liner.

Hopefully Newhook or Slaf aren't the next players with talent but problematic play.

 

[Hins77]

Gallagher. I mean, you just cannot to have a 6,5m player on the fourth line. His contract is heavy gor a long time

 

[Mrb1p]

Gallagher has been my main whippin boy for a few years now. Absolutely horrible player with the ego to go with it. Disguising his self-love for the love of a team is such a douche move. Can't wait to see him throw tantrums at refs and make us actively lose games because of it.

Development is also this, and poor role models like MB and MT will lead you down this road.

Armia and Allen too i guess but mainly because theyre bad/meh/overpaid.

 

[1909]

Anyone with huge contracts and minimal, underwhelming production. We all know who they are.

 

[The Great Weal]

Lots of posters still love Gallagher because he works hard (before gassing out in 15 seconds). I feel like majority will vote Armia.

 

[Milhouse40]

It's going to be a fight to the death between Gallagher and Armia.....and as a dark horse in the race: Dvorak

 

[calder candidate]

My best guess
Armia is already getting it…
Gallagher
Anderson
Newhook will have a pretty short leach
Harris
Barron

 

[Tyson]

Seems Barron (unjustified) gets hammered for every little thing. My guess that will continue. He doesn't deserve it being a young player still developing but assh#$&s can't help themselves.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Slafkovsky

Unfortunately, it’s already started for him.

 

[Price is Wright]

Dvorak.

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

If Slafkovsky doesn't deliver this season, i'm afraid he will be, especially he's a first overall pic.

 

[xX SEYF Xx]

I came to peace with the fact that Gallagher is going to be our bad contract anchor going forward. It's just unmovable
All teams have bad contracts and if Gallagher is the only bad one left, we can still build a contender team even with him.
4 years left, I guess we buying out the last one or two.
If you have a disease that doesn't kill you and you cant cure, just live with it.

Armia is my pick.

 

[sampollock]

Armia

waste for skin

 

[Wateredgarden]

My feeling is Slaf, Savard or Barron. Keep in mind Danault was a whiping boy and he was still one of the best at what he did, so i don't mean theyr are going to be bad, just generaly hated on HF.

Same as always, "The Heart and Soul" of the team Brendan Gallagher.

With Drou-Drou, Hoffman and Dadonov gone Gallagher is now center stage for all the heat and rightfully so.

Can't wait the day we finally get rid of this brown noser and don't have to endure his antics.

Armia and Donkey Anderson are 2nd and 3rd.

 

[Riggins]

Gallagher. Should have traded him to Benning and the Canucks at the time for a ransom, but Bergevin panicked when Gallagher's feelings were hurt after the Josh Anderson contract. We all knew the contract would really suck by the end, we just didn't know it would suck from the very beginning.

It's going to be a fight to the death between Gallagher and Armia.....and as a dark horse in the race: Dvorak

I dont know why you'd hate Dvorak. He's vanilla and all but he's a depth player making okay money and he plays okay, doesn't say much.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Whipping boy will always be someone who was drafted over someone else that's doing better in a subjective way, or any prospect with hype who doesn't immediately shred the NHL

So..
Slafkovsky
Reinbacher
Mesar
Farrell

And soon to be Hutson, Roy, Mailloux, Trudeau.

 

[Mrb1p]

If Slafkovky doesn't deliver this season, i'm afraid he will be, especially he's a first overall pic.

It would be pretty catastrophic for this to happen. Like if he doesn,t progress at all, maybe.

 

[Riggins]

I dont know why you'd hate Dvorak. He's vanilla and all but he's a depth player making okay money and he plays okay, doesn't say much.

Not so much the player as the brutal panic move by Bergevin, which is a common theme with this team. Can't believe we still have to give up our 2nd rounder this year as part of that Dvorak deal.

 

[NobleSix]

Probably Gallagher. I just don't have any more patience for his game. He's just not a good player anymore and only see him getting worse as his career moves forward.
