[CH1]

And the minute you trade him you find yourself looking for someone just like him as a replacement.

every player needs to be replaced at some point....trade him when his stock is high (healthy, productive and super cheap salary)

Like Calgary has probably been doing. They sure could use him.

 

[Krustchev]

Cole needs to start scoring at even strength.

yeah...but no doubt he'll go on heater at some point

 

[lecoqsportif]

Some modest positives: Slafkovsky, Newhook and Primeau.

Negatives… woof... the defence is young. Resilient, but they were bailed out a few times.

I thought Slaf was totally unnoticeable. The other two were good.

 

[lecoqsportif]

Caufield was pretty intense tonight.

It’s Anderson who can’t buy a damn thing. Wouldn’t be so bad but for the rich cap hit.

 

[lecoqsportif]

I thought Slaf was totally unnoticeable. The other two were good.

I thought he had some good shifts in the first half of the game, battled one on one and back checked. Didn’t do much in the 3rd.

 

[Habsy]

I like the idea of running with Montembeault and Primeau. Dumping Allen would be ideal. I'd rather not have another Alzner cap situation tbh. Not worth it, especially when you draft for shit.

You know he was a 1OA pick, right? I need more from that than a nice back check.

 

[Habsy]

They can't all be Bedard

I totally agree. But nevertheless, I’ll take incremental improvement. He was better tonight I think, more assertive.

Market is warning up for Allen. Just a modest return with no cap retention would be enough for me.

meh

That would be the preferred outcome.

Edmonton is desperate but severely cap constrained, so we may need to seek another destination. Carolina… maybe Tampa.

 

[GEEMAN]

yup , gotta pray he stays healthy and moved for a nice haul

Too old for our rebuild unless he wants 1 year deals

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

He's played 52 NHL games and isn't yet 20 years old. I don't care where he was drafted. He needs time.

What do you like about his game, besides that he weighs 237 lbs?

 

[Stinky]

When not injured, Sean Monahan is an outstanding hockey player. Far better than I knew. He can play in any kind of game, on any line, and do well.

I want them to keep him. Resign him. He has a lot of hockey left in him. Having last year off to heal seems to have been great for him.

 

[Stinky]

And the minute you trade him you find yourself looking for someone just like him as a replacement.

Fuck yeah. And for a pick that likely would not lead to a player nearly as good as who he will be in even four years.

Too many people have spent too much time in GM mode on the EA sports NHL games...
