Nyquist would have been awesome, but I think it was a money issue. Mojo was cheap and Billy G couldn't afford Nyquist because he wanted guys like Treniyawn for 4 millions.
That effective line still only had 40-50 point caliber players on it, which I'm just guessing you'd like more from Boldy than that.
People need to chill with the negative connotation behind Boldy being called a complementary player. There's a reason players like Kap/Fiala work better with Zucc/Boldy than with another Kap/Fiala.
He, Ohgren and Stramel are going to be a super effective 3rd line pretty soon here.
People lose their minds at even a hint of trading their golden child on this forum. It’s more acceptable to talk a Kaprizov trade than a Boldy trade. Shit is crazy.
Gus is just entering his prime, he's pretty young for a goalie. If you trade him, it could take a long time to get anyone better. And it could be a lot more expensive.
Kinda forgot about Gus….ya I’d keep him if I could too. But even out of my list, Kap and Faber would be kept. The others would have to work out trade wise. The rest not on the list a guy could replace fairly easy and usually at a cheaper/ better contract rate.
I think the idea is that he’s building for the future and our defensive prospects mostly suck. We should be able to find some semblance of a top 6 out of Kap-Eriksson Ek-Boldy-Rossi-Yurov-Ohgren-Heidt-Ritchie in the future.
I’d show your posts, but they’re no longer here for some reason…
We literally saw Tkachuk be more of a difference maker yesterday on plays where he didn’t even touch the puck. He was in the heads of everyone, including our play by play guys.
