No, they take time away from Anderson, Gallagher, RHP, Pearson, Ylonen, Pezseta, Dvorak and Evans. Helping your young players by bringing in better players than the scrap the bottom is built out of is how you actually help your team.
Ylonen and Pearson are gone. Pezzetta probably won't be around for long. RHP is injured. Anderson, Gallagher and Dvorak will not be replaced by turds like Sprong etc. When they have 12 forwards that are here for the long term they will do something about Anderson and Gallagher.
Anderson/Gallagher/Dvorak are turds themselves, Sprong is a better player than all three of them. Not saying we should have signed him, but we can stop with the narrative that "guys like him won't improve our team" when we have the worst (and most expensive) bottom 6 in the league.
Im sure having sulking overpaid vets who are healthy scratches adds extra happiness to the room.
Yes I know you have confidence in management. I'm sure if Hughes had landed the good sized Sprong instead of small, slow AHL star Barré-Boulet, you would tell us how good a depth move it is to get a prime-age cheap player on a one-year deal, anxious to find a long-term home and who averages 20 goals per 82 games in just 12-13 minutes per game. Oh, and was a playoff star throughout his junior years.
I'm rather indifferent about the barreboulet deal, it's a head scratcher.. but whatevs.. insignificant.
False dillema again. We dont care about Anderson because he doesn't care about this team. Sprong isn't my pick at all, day 1 was the time to get bottom 6er but it's a lame excuse. We have the worst bottom 9 in the league and only 1 or 2 players pushing to make the team in Beck and Heineman.
Pezzetta is a 215 pound, excellent skating 4th liner who finishes his checks. He is a prototypical 4th liner. He isn't an issue on the 4th line. Habs need more of these types on the 4th line.
What rookies currently are destined for 4th line duties? Tuch, F Xhekaj? Are they ready?
So you agree he building of this team isn't quite going well.... Unless you like to play Patience in buckets and dream of untap potential.
I just believe that for a 4th liner type of player Michael Pezzetta is exactly the type of player teams want on their 4th line. If he was waived he would get picked up immediatelySo you agree he building of this team isn't quite going well.... Unless you like to play Patience in buckets and dream of untap potential.
I like to dream of winning the lottery personally, it's more pleasant.
Not on game 1 of the season. He would go through without any itch.
That doesn't explain why he has already played for 5 teams, puts up 40 pts and has to sign for the minimum. Either not good enough to be near a scoring line or a pain in the ass.
Yes, that's why there's at least 31 other Pezzettas around the league and probably more. That's the reason his trade value is tending towards 0. Teams can pick up Pezzettas in any rounds of a draft. The fact that we haven't done this since his draft year (2016), makes me think this club is building like a bunch of drunkards. Makes you wish we still had Timmins, right?
We're not strapped for cap, besides we have that type of contract with Armia also.
Esti. I've read delusional things, but youre telling me that this :
All these players are much better than Pezzetta, and I say this as a massive fan of Pezz.
