Found it.I like patty making the team. Always thought of him as a project prospect and I'm sure someone can quote me on saying that he won't be ready until he's 22-23 at the earliest.
Look at Lee. He looks like an NHL defenseman finally, he's 23 years old. It took him this long, I don't see why some would give up on Weircioch already.
I dunno why some people are already labeling him as a bust. Nobody should have expected him to make the NHL and be in a role that would contribute to the teams success this early.
He's a project, he won't have instant success.
So does Pavel Brendl
Get Hickey, please.
Go with our kids save our picks ,we arent a stanley cup contender why waste good asets on junk

We could maybe not trade for junk
In reply to Tuna's last comment of: "Teubert has an upside to be a bottom pairing Dman and is a good tough player. Remember when Chara got here and he couldn't skate?"
...
What? So you're telling me that Teubert, who is looking to be without any doubts a bust of a player, has an UPSIDE of a bottom-pairing defenseman. Therefore, by your logic...
Potential bottom pairing D-man who isn't as good as current D-men who can play such as Wiercioch, Borowiecki and Benoit
=
Potential starting goaltender that is already a good NHL back-up
3rd/4th liner that is a good PKer
How can you justify making that deal? I would puke. Also, you claim his UPSIDE is a bottom-pairing defenseman... and then try to compare TEUBERT to CHARA.
Again, horrible proposal. No thanks.
If you are using Chara to support your point, then you should use the countless players who we don't know that didn't have a tenth of Chara's trajectory. Obviously.Referencing Chara was to demonstrate how much players can grow in the NHL
I really don't see the need, he is not a good player. He was drafted high, and that pedigree seems to entice people.
Referencing Chara was to demonstrate how much players can grow in the NHL - especially players who are dedicated and play with a love of the game. Chara went from a bottom pairing Dman in NYI who no one in the NHL knew about until the Spezza trade (he was considered a throw in then, more people were excited to get Bill Muckelt. Chara had 9 points and was a -27 for two years before we got him, don't make it seem like he was a budding Norris trophy winner.) The point is players like Alfie, Chara have done well in a stable environment like Ottawa to grow their game and become effective NHL players and even great NHL players.
Teubert has potential to grow his game. He was drafted #12 overall and a change of scenery might do him some good.
The other thing you are missing is asking a rookie in a 48 game schedule like Weircoche or Boro to play out of position on the RD might not be great for their development. Teubert is a big, mean kid who in 2-3 years if paired with a player like Cowen could be an elite and most feared shut down tandem in the NHL.
Do you remember a player called Matt Carkner - became a huge part of our team identity? Not every team is made up of 20 Erik Karlsson's, you need some sand paper and some grit to go along with the skill.

Unless you make your statements based on watching a lot of Teurbert.
