2023 Draft and UFA Thread

we need to stop worrying about how our offensive guys play in the defensive zone, he has to go up against guys like Pig Nose and McNopersonality all the time so no surprise if he does not look so good in his own zone.

Then he needs to stop going up against those guys or improve, because it was poor and a real liability. Can’t be like that 2 or 3 years hence.
 
Richard is a Laval guy. He only sniffed the NHL because half the team went on LTIR
that may be but he is still in the pipeline, we aren't as small as we used to be but under no circumstances can you say we are big, as usual, we have too many guys of the same type, even Roy and Kidney are both 6'0 180 or so, why can't we have prospects coming up, other than Slaf, who are 6'4 220

Because those are usually really bad at hockey or taken top 5.

What I want is skill. We haven't had a player top 10 in scoring since 1986.

and few of them are 5'8.. I know you want to test the theory that we can win with a team full of under 6'0 types but that will never happen in the NHL.
 
a different point and not incorrect but it oa wrong to claim as Wormser did that we don't have a number of small players
That is because I'm not concerned with players that have little chance of making it.

BTW there were much better examples of players under 6 feet. Beck as an example.
 
Dach, Slaf and Josh are big. Easy to find one or two big guys to man the 4th line

Suzuki ain’t tall but he’s a stocky 200lbs + who doesn’t get pushed around

Like I said. We have 3 if we draft michkov. Only the elite can make it when small. The rest either become elite or they don't make it so no sense worrying about it.

Count should be old enough to remember that we drafted big dud Doug Wickenheiser instead of puny HOF Denis Savard
