Quoting: jpsnow13
For the 10 000 times, Montreal doesn't want or need Gauthier.
I dunno
RFA rights we can sign , play then flip for a 6th?
MTL is always injured every year in bulk since 2017
I expect it to keep escalating as it has until we get an Enforcer a True Enforcer
We got tougher for sure but we need a Gudbranson type who sends messages for a living while also being a good physical 3rd pair D
Personally i've always maintained M. Foligno was ideal but no way MIN gives him up in a post Kaprisov world
On the Cheap Micheal Mccarron is actually just as productive as Poehling now , actually wins faceoffs unlike Poehling and can fight heavy weights
Playing with Sissons who successfully plays the style Mccarron tried to for years has seemingly helped him a lot
My original point is as long as its a team friendly deal having JG as insurance for a 6th
Maybe like Pitlick he earns a spot to stay
Really no risk in JG given its his RFA rights we're after
Poehling will be gone soon he's the only player under MSL to have minutes cut and not improve drastically
MSL doesnt trust him and it shows as he doesnt let his bottom 6 DZ forward take DZ draws they're to important
Suzuki and Evans cycle out after a puck win
We turned Diaz into Weise into Danault and Romanov
Rivet in to Pacioretty into Tatar ,Suzuki, Norlinder and Leguerrier(wasnt tendered a ELC offer)
2/3 top core players came via a trade tree that started out seemingly small with an Aging Vet UFA sold and an Undrafted pick up
JG at best could end up like that
or even like Scandella where we use him a while then sell him for what we payed plus a 2nd (or 3rd)
