Quoting: Wpgman
1. Insane to think DeMelo is top 4
2. Yes they did go after Oleksiak and Gavrikov but they also inquired about RHD as per Chevy
3. Larsson is top 4 and better than DeMelo
4. This year Hamonic played with Hughes- enough said
5. Not sure what you are talking about when you say that Morrissey is looking like he's back the day Dylan DeMelo was paired with him. Morrissey has not been the same player since Trouba left other than the last 4 playoff games which can be attributed to the whole team playing great and a change in attitude.
6. Rather have 2 good #2's in Pionk and Larsson than your 2 good #2-3's on the right side.
7. $3 mil is too much for a 3rd pairing especially in the flat cap.
The only insane thing is to believe he isn’t. He’s been a legit top 4 Dman statistically 3 seasons in a row. And by the eye test, he is great at what he does. I’m guessing you’re new to the sport? That’s ok if so. I’ll understand.
2. Again, at the deadline Maurice was playing Tucker Poolman top pairing minutes. Tucker Poolman.
3. Larsson is not better than Demelo but continue on, casual.
4. Not sure id want to "enough said" that comment after a huge step back of a year from Hughes, mostly because of Hamonic. but if youre that simple "Demelo played top pairing with Chabot, and now Morrissey. enough said."
5. you're right Morrissey has been mostly a trainwreck since Trouba left. the org should really expose him tbh. guess who he only positive results are with in those years.... I led you there, lets see if you can finish
6. Adam Larsson is not a #2. and if he were one, he would get alot more than $4M. so pick your poison cause it can't be both.
7. Demelo is a bonafide top 4. as already mentioned. But it's clear you don't understand how value or the cap works. paying $1M more for a player 3x as good as the $2M option you chose, is great asset management. Hell you spent $2M on a 4C that will play 6-7 minutes here. at best. talk about "too much" for a role
