I wish there was a New Hope somewhere...
Really sucks to hear that about Compher. Hopefully he gets well soon.
That Nemeth-EJ pairing was a disaster last game.
I'd almost rather have Barbario get into a game and play next to EJ.
The Calvert praise... smh.
Let's see how he does in the playoffs, as Waingro addressed (in the post following yours).
Roussel had a down year with his 17 points... prior to that he was always in the mid to upper 20s. I'd expect him to rebound to that level. That said he is 750k-1m overpaid. A scary part with Calvert is that his production includes a lot of 2nd line usage. His style of play is endearing to coaches and they tend to over play him. I don't think he ever produces outside that bottom 6 level, but he might get higher usage than that with regularity.
Bednar also hyped up Calvert today and his play which threw me off.
I still think they should go back to what the original plan was: Girard/EJ, Z/Barrie, Cole/Nemeth. Cole will get more time than third pairing minutes and that’s fine but put the other two together.
There's little doubt in my mind that Sakic is actively looking to upgrade the top 6. Probably not aggressively, but keeping a line out there.
