Description
If you want to give Merzlikins negative value then you guys will have to give the rest of the team negative value as well. All this Merzlikins slander is just plain ridiculous. The team in front of him sucks. The coaching sucks. Even the management sucks. The problems are far more worse than just the players on the team.

It’s so annoying because the individuals on the team don’t suck. You see flashes of a good team, sometimes even for most of a game. And yet it just doesn’t work.

We did just beat the best team in the league. That means...we're the best team in the league?

SOME players need to start pulling their weight though. Looking at Johnny and Laine. So much cap invested in two players playing no where near their potential.

That said the CBJ do have some good young pieces.

Regarding Elvis though. Maybe he’s better on another team. Maybe. But it’s not a guarantee. There’s no way to know for sure from an acquiring GM.

He does have talent though. That can’t be denied. But so does Samsonov. Talent isn’t always everything, especially with goaltenders. Mental stability, consistency of focus also plays a big part. Go watch how Hellybuck or Vasi go about their business in a calm and cool demeanor. That’s the risk of Elvis.

Then consider that Elvis is paid 5.4M with term. That’s a tall ask for any team to take on, on a maybe.
