Half-Assed GDT: STL CHI

I think forcing Dvo into the NHL will do more harm to his development than good. He isn't ready.

Yeah, I don't see it either. I see flashes but I also see plenty of mistakes to make me think he'd benefit from spending some time in the A.

THE DINGO ATE A BABY!

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

TIE GAME!

I mean when the entire goaltender is in the net, that's a good goal.

I wouldn't mind a short stint with the main club to get a taste and see what he needs to work on the most, but I do think the AHL would be the best for him this season

 

[Chojin]

New host dude has real Chris Tucker energy.

 

[CurrentCS]

The one thing Dalibor has going for him right now is he is already quite good on faceoffs. I just think he needs a bit more development time and I think getting all situations time with Dean as your top 6 Cs would do him well.

 

[ChicagoBlues]

He got walked pretty badly one on one. Dvo doesn’t take a penalty if he doesn’t cough the puck up.

I was advocating to keep Peru for a bit, but he is just bad. I don't really feel that bad for him cuz he screwed up his own development with those injuries. He can go. Now.

 

[BlueDream]

I'm not convinced on that.

Based on a couple preseason games? I am.

People seem to forget the NHL season is 82 games long. Dvorsky can’t handle that. He might look good for a couple weeks but I guarantee he will trail off and that’s exactly what Armstrong said he doesn’t want to happen.

Walker is a guy that deserves to be a full-time nhler. Best 14th forward in the league if he isn't playing. I keep him over Kapanen all day.

 

[CurrentCS]

And holy hell what a difference a year makes.

I have loved Colten Ellis' game all pre-season to add onto a great end to the year last season in the AHL.

His development gives me real Binnington vibes who really found his game around the same age.

100% agree. Between him and Zherenko, my money is on Ellis.

 

[542365]

Feels like every guy in the lineup is left handed.

 

[CurrentCS]

100% agree. Between him and Zherenko, my money is on Ellis.

I'm probably the biggest Zherenko fan on here. I still think he's an NHL goalie but he has looked off since his injury last year. Before that he dominated. I guess we'll see but Ellis pushing finally is great to see.

Then it has to be on another team. We just do not have room for Walker.

 

[BlueDream]

Yes we do. He provides everything you want in a 4th liner and showed he can win faceoffs too.

He should be kept over Kapanen.

Same for me on Zherenko. He's got game. No slight on him at all, except that he's off right now.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Holloway should NOT be on the 4th line

 

[TheDizee]

holloway looks like a good 2nd/3rd liner. looks better than Kyrou.

 

[BleedBlue14]

Holloway is really fun to watch.

Lot of compete, and a lot of speed. He could pan out to be a really good player.

 

[CurrentCS]

Yes we do. He provides everything you want in a 4th liner and showed he can win faceoffs too.

He should be kept over Kapanen.

Yep the faceoffs put him over the top, imo. He's loved in the room too like what Bortuzzo brought to the team. It would be a shame for him to not to be here.

 

[542365]

Holloway is a player, man.

 

[Spektre]

I liked Loof’s game

 

[TheDizee]

Yes we do. He provides everything you want in a 4th liner and showed he can win faceoffs too.

He should be kept over Kapanen.

Walker is a good locker room guy as well. Kapanen is just the typical European floating flake. you will not win playoff games with people like kapanen (he is a maple leafs sort of player). Walker on the other hand, plays the game the proper way that can translate to being a positive in the playoffs.

Walker has always been underrated and should be on the team. Same with Sunny. I don't care what metrics or stats say, can;t measure the tangibles and other great things they both bring to a team and you need that on a good team.

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

Reports of the Blues demise might've been greatly exaggerated.

 

[Eldon Reid]

Then it has to be on another team. We just do not have room for Walker.

Disagree. Walker should be kept over Kap every day.

Walker is actually decent in face-offs and fills in well in the 4th line. He isn't type of player I want playing 82 game season with style he plays, but he is good for 30-40 games easily.
