lol. You guys are fucked. He’s a top 9 all day long and plenty of other GMs will think so as well.

Please.... this is like the Leafs trying to get value for Maccelli last year

Habsy he is fucken toast , a worthy gamble that didnt pan out

Have you watched him play this season? I'm serious. He's done. The injuries have ruined him.

 

[Habsy]

None of those opinions negate the fact that some team will view him as top 9.

For Larkin though, I think Kapanen is the top 9 that goes.

 

[Krustchev]

I don't think Larkin wants the pressure of being the 1C, which he'd be in Minny.

 

[CH1]

Larkin is a bitch. I hope we get another 2c

 

[lecoqsportif]

Zharovsky is A. So it balances out.

And Engstrom. Pickford and Mooney are too far from the NHL.

 

[Krustchev]

Why the hostility?

I don’t get good vibes.

We don't know the full story of what went wrong for him in Detroit.

what went wrong is that he was their #1 centre

As I said, I don't think he wants the pressure of being a 1C. Perfect fit here. It's obvious that HuGo want him. I trust their judgment.

Mooney is playing 1C in Minny this season, he’ll sign ELC at seasons end IMO

 

[CH1]

Why the hostility?

the amateur way he handled his exit (3 potential destinations? fuck off) , his lack of leadership, his summer beer belly

and he plays a speed game so age 30 matters, especially if we have to give up the farm

his first game was a nightmare...took a 5 min boarding penalty but I love the kid. will make a nice trade chip

For Hellebuyck.

Hugo could have gotten McTavish for the modest price of two first rounders

That was a missed opportunity. But you know, spilled milk at this point.

Engstrom can play now.

 

[Sal_Butera]

Engstrom can play now.

Dead Things also like their Swedes..

 

[CH1]

the draft is a crapshoot so not blaming HuGo here....but drafting Owen Beck instead of Fraser Minten...oooof our team looks very different
