Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Like the Title says im tired of people Dumping Dvorak.
They woke up with Caufield putting the blame on Ducharme
They woke up with Petry after they realized He scored 21/28pts in 30 under MSL
Why wont they wake up with Dvorak?

72% Faceoff Win Rate under MSL
Unlike Ducharme he's not Defensive Zone Faceoffs Only
MSL doesnt punish him because Poehling sucks are Faceoffs in DZ
Instead he punishes Poehling giving Pitlick and Dauphin his 3rd line role demoting him
Neither of them can win a faceoff, they replaced him cause they win puck battles

My Point is MSL knows how to use Dvorak
We'd want to keep him especially given the low price we paid.
He'll be still worth more in 5 years then KK or either pick will become
Why? His Faceoff Ability alone like Cullen will keep him in the NHL long after his offense dries up because he's so dominant there. He's the right guy to keep around to train Suzuki and Wright IMO


My Focus here is on Building a Contender
While also collecting another Lotto pick like FLA
Unless they trade Bobo they lost 1/2 their team with 4m cap


Chiarot once moved to RD in MTL for 9 games after TML asked to see him showcased there in our match up he went 9 pts in 9 games before traded. Romanov set him up for 1 timers and they created offensive chances he and others jumped on. Chiarot is here until Mailloux will be ready then again we can trade him to a contender. We have the void and he's the best and cheapest option a team like MTL will attract. Plus i really like the Physical Dominance Romanov-Chiarot showed. I mean Eddy on Romanov's Right side had some good looks but few converted into actual points they were just physically dominating. With Barron it seem Romanov is less physical focusing more on protecting his young partner.

I just feel going forward the safest option for Romanov to pair with is Chiarot.
The runner up to that woulda been Subban return which i like as he's a living reminder of what chasing money over taking less to build a contender will cost you. He's still a good player to i just couldnt justify the 5m im sure he'll land from someone who wants to sell Jersey's.


Now i said im building a contender and i meant it
But that relies on AHL players Ghule,Xhekaj,Mysak,Ylonen,Trudeau,Kidney and Simmoneau among others who aged out or are entering the AHL next year. Kidney and Trudeau could go back but their teams are rebuilding word around the Q is and they'll move on. (see it a lot in Moncton over the years like Pandemic start we went all in and were top 3 in Canada then no playoffs. Forced a rebuild and Pelltier left early as did Spence and the Andersson

We have a good mix of players in Laval who are currently in the ECF in the AHL that is looking to get a huge boost from our depth pool. Its looking like Ghule is gonna be facing off against Xhekaj and Mysak in the Memorial Cup so there's Quality there to not just quantity.

Their jobs is to push out NHL'ers by doing so good they make us trade a Byron, Hoffman,Evans,Eddy or Allen. Ylonen in particular is looking to make that sooner then later as his defensive game which is usually lacking has really stepped up this playoffs.
