Cozens & Dach have the same deficiences - lack defensive awareness & subpar at faceoffsI would go for Cozens asap, lock up a 2C who can actually win draws
Last year I would have said Savard would get a 2nd. But he has not been good this year.Say the TSN trade board this morning and it had Savard at number 4.
Over/Under getting a 2.5 round pick in return for him.....what say you?
Also talk that if Rantanen doesn't come to terms with Carolina, he may be on the move again. Wouldn't that be something
Matheson is statistically one of the worst defensive defenceman out there. Dobson is not nearly that bad. And he’s better offensively too. What better partner for Hutson if the goal is to have Guhle with Carrier as the stable duo, when the Habs were playing better. Both players on their natural side, it would be similar to Toews-Makar.Posters complain about Matheson’s D gaffes don’t realize how prone Dobson is to unforced errors as well
Talk politics, get the boot.
Some of these roster proposals are mind blowing. Filling half the team with new players and the other half with rookies who’ve never played in the NHL.
Exaggeration undermines the point.
If **all** of Dvorak, Savard, Evans, and Armia are traded that means a maximum of four rookies next year, and almost certainly some of those spots would be covered by rookies or trade acquisitions.
And none of those are core players.
It's not a big deal.
I would like to keep Evans though. He's not that easy of an asset to acquire. He's like Lehkonen, you trade these players knowing you might quickly try to have to acquire one. The rest are replaceable.
1st rounder. Then sign evans in the offseasonSay the choice is the following, what do you choose?
1) Sign Evans to a 4-year extension at 4.5 million/year.
2) A 1st rounder from a contender.
He could be a good winger and I think they need to put him thereDach may not be the solution at center but i still believe he can still be an effective top 6 winger. I'm not trading him right now, especially not if Laine can't be a regular top 6 winger, which is a big concern.
I'd look at getting a second line center and moving Dach to the wing.
Agreed. I’ve been on this for awhile now. He can’t be our long term solution at 2C moving forward. I think he can be a very effective piece for us but it has to be on the wing. We need to find a proper 2C, or 1A with Suzuki.Dach may not be the solution at center but i still believe he can still be an effective top 6 winger.
