JR Ewing Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 There's nothing wrong with highlight clips from the World Juniors, but try not to get TOO worked up and talk about how you can be more open to trading a player the likes of Claude Giroux. At that age, forwards are much closer to being NHL ready than are blueliners, because most defensemen develop by sundial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the hate he is already getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he is not talent enough to make other player better. Like Crosby or Ovechkin and many other In case you haven't noticed...Crosby, Ovechkin, McDavid...those guys all went 1st overall. Giroux didn't. Not even close. He's actually closer to a 2nd rounder. So instead of your constant Giroux is suk diatribe, how about giving the guy credit for being in the same conversation as those guys even though he was picked NOWHERE NEAR WHERE THEY WERE!

LegionOfDoom Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Giroux is not part of the problem, he is a position of strength. Do a better job in adding to a strength, not remove a strength to add questionable variables to replace a strength. That is childish nonsensical foolishness. If a player is causing a problem in the locker room to other team mates, trade him. These blanket statements "trade him" are getting old. Put a name as his replacement, or possible "player options or picks." That mentality got us to get rid of Bob. And we lost that trade. Bob was better than what we had going forward. We could of had a tandem of Bob, Stolarz/Lyon/Neuvy or/Elliot as our goalies as of now. The Kimo/Coburn/Streit trades where mostly players that we received good value for. They weren't major pieces, those type of trades work. The JVR signing is a specific piece you get to help a team, but not part of the main course. He needs a Center who can dish it to him, a solid 3C, and he would give us solid scoring depth. If Captaincy is truly part of the problem, remove the C altogether and not have a C or A on this team for now. Hang it up on the team locker room rafter and after next season whoever wants to claim the C go and grab it and defend for it. The Captain can choose his Alts. What we need to do is bring up the kids, NAK, (maybe Voroby), Myers, Morin maybe Freider... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a big deal because Weal was basically a borderline NHLer who wasn't helping the Flyers...but it's highly unlikely Fletcher gets anything close to that for a 6th.

LegionOfDoom Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I don't think Bob is the actual answer in goal, just that at worse we would go from a low "F" to a "D+", "C+/B-" in goal. One thing Hexy did pretty well at was squeezing out higher picks for our excess pieces. I know many want to get a high lottery pick and also play the prospects. We need to BirdBox Gudas in practice and hope he'll injure a few players in practice, to bring up the minors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see no reason so far why he wouldn't be pencilled in as our starter next season. Sure he's not lighting the world on fire, but he's doing well enough to be in the NHL. Let him learn here instead of vs much weaker competition in the A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegionOfDoom Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Hart is learning on the job, actually thinking about it, being that the defense is not playing as a unit, is probably making Hart learn from a not so great circumstance to hone his skills better. When a better defensive pair suits up in front of him, he would of gone through the school of hard knocks and make him a better goalie, having to go the extra mile to make that save. At least that is what the hope is for during these tumultuous times. Sometimes playing with not so great, equipment/situations improves your game, that when you have better equipment/situations the task becomes easier. Once again that is what is hoped for.
