Player Discussion: Unpopular Opinion: Romanov Has Not Helped NYI Take The Next Step

[impaaaaaact]

That's my bad, Taswell said it and I attributed it to you.

But at this point in my life I see Romanov as a for sure top 4 dman and I'm happy with the trade whether the the pick used becomes a hall of famer or bust. Because it doesn't matter what that pick does, we don't know who we would have selected or how their development would be. Question is, are you ok with trading a 13th overall pick for a 22 year old top 4 dman? My answer is yes. We're gonna get years out of Romanov.

I'm happy with the trade too, it made sense at the time. Gave up the possibility of a higher upside for a cost controlled sure thing when you needed it... and we got George too who seems to be a good find.

Justin Bourne kicked the idea around of wondering the benefit of a GM that exclusively trades 1st rounders for young talent when it becomes available. The 20-25 guys. I wondered how that would play out, you do need the ELC space and I think that's where the issue is but it's a fun idea to kick. Just watched Jiricek go for what would be a 20+ first rounder

The Jiricek thing is interesting because he could conceivably go supernova... but for a first, second, third, fourth, and young guy who has already made a couple of NHL appearances you have a lot of outs there. The second is in 2027 so it might be a long time until we know who won that trade

He seems to have a chunk of games where he looks like he has taken a corner, then it seems he regresses to some of the types of plays he made when he first got here. His regular partner (Dobson) has not been good, so I know he has changed partners here and there so I will cut him some slack.

Dobson can't be overlooked.

Have my doubts about the system as well.

I am just a little disappointed. If you are moving a top 15 in this day and age you should get a D with some more offense in my opinion.

That's fair, especially with the makeup of our team, I just didn't care for the pick/draft class
