Kappy just said on MM interview that he had a hand full of games the last 2 yrs in Top 6 in TOR and he has never really had the chance.
Id try to get Seattle to take a 30yr old Rusty bc then we wont have to pay or loose Tanev or Blueger if we had Roslovic
- ARIZONA's 9 - Playoff games / & Reg. Season
Stepan - 19:06 - ATOI / 17:39 ATOI
Dvorak - 16:09 - ATOI / 16:13 ATOI + Carl Soderberg had 16:13 ATOI & even more than Dvorak in playoff's w/ Schmaltz out
*** This = Stepan 1st line Center homie + w/ Schmaltz & Hayton playing next yr = Dvorak could def be avai as a 3rd line Center
Roslo has said he is more of a pass 1st player & is a natural Center but he said he needs to get better at faceoffs
-I would just really sell high on ZAR bc he is NOT a good player at all, he only hits once every 25games, and is a great d player but the dude doesnt kno how to use his stick with puck, lol
McLeod had 4 years in the OHL before playing in the AHL, Fredric came out of the NCAA where they have (very) different rules than the CHL, idk which Lindgren that is, Jesper is European and didn't play in the AHL as a teenager, same with Koppanen and Nylander (on the European part), neither of the Quenneville's played a season in the A until after their 4th year of juniors, Jost was NCAA, Benson finished his 4th year in the WHL before playing a full year in the AHL, same with Laberge, Pulju is a Euro, Almari is a Euro and didn't play a full season in the AHL until this year as a 21 year old, Kuokkanen is a Euro, Gus is a Euro, Dube had 4 years in juniors before his first full AHL year, Felhaber had 5 before his first full pro year, i have no idea what Barron you're talking about, Andersson is a Euro, Lind played in the dub for 4 seasons, and may have aged out before his first full pro year, idk a Shaw other than Andrew, Hague aged out in 18-19 as a Dec B day vs Poulin in Feb, same with Cal Foote, Strome had 4 OHL seasons, Vaak is a Euro, Chekhovich is a Russian, Comtois was literally my example of the one way Poulin can play in the AHL before his junior season ends by going down on a conditioning loan, Necas is European, idk a McGregor, Geisser never played in the CHl, Räsänen is a Euro, Luukkonen, is as well, Leschyshyn had 4 years in the dub before playing a full season in the A, same with Glass, Drozg is Slovenian, Rasmussen, only played 3 games in the A last year, i can't say for sure, but i do know it was either as a conditioning loan or at the end of the year, D'Orio only played 3 years but def aged out this year, Tolvanen and Liljegren are Euros, and Tolvanen was in the USHL, and Bellerive played 4 years in the dub before this year, a few games at the end of the year after his Q season is over doesn't mean he can get sent up and down throughout the year
"Under the current format, CHL players who are 18 or 19 years old, if drafted by their NHL team, must be returned to their junior team who has their rights. Players who are loaned to a Canadian junior team [Europeans] are an exception to this rule. Recent examples include Rasmus Sandin and Andre Burakovsky. Players who have played four junior seasons [Poulin hasn't] (min. 25 games per season) are exempt as well, though they’re quite rare."
Uhhh, k, he still played over 1000 mins with their top 2 C's over the past 2 years, and according to Steve Dangle (no I don't normally watch him, I did watch his video on this trade though) he said he got a good amount of time in the top 6 last year, and said he wasn't particularly good there
I get not wanting to pay, but you make it seem like you would rather keep Blueger (a pending UFA) and Tanev (1 year younger, significantly worse, with a contract that is too much for what he brings, and too long, especially for his playstyle)
Yes I saw that, but I also said best C, if Tocchet is dumb idc, but Dvo is far better, and Stepan is probably not even on the team next year anyway, and Soderberg almost certainly won't, and Dvo had the second most TOI/GP for C's on the team, and as I've said before is far better than any other C on the team barring an insane jump by Hayton
Roslo is a C like McCann is a C, barely an upgrade if at all at faceoffs, and McCann is probably a slightly better player
I would rather a smart player than a physical player defensively, and ZAR is one of the best, and even though he doesn't hit, he's still very aggressive and relentless, and doesn't really give up any ice easily, but it's still safe and good positionally, and I really don't see that changing, and he has shown offensive ability before as a prospect, I'm not saying it's likely, but it's not impossible, and that elite defense is extremely valuable
