Initial Creation Date: Mar. 24, 2022

Published: Mar. 24, 2022

Description

Nothing changes. Team starts 1-10-2 again to start the season. Rinse & repeat...

They overpay (this years 1st) for Fiala and give up a stronger prospect in the process.

They sign a 'quality veteran' that pushes a young guy down the lineup or out of it completely.

Gustavsson gets claimed on waivers.

Hamonic plays top 4.

Zaitsev plays.

Zub... gets hurt.

I like the take on this. Also I really like the Gagner signing, but that's as an Oilers fan.
I must ask, how come Gagner is above Connor Brown? Connor Brown is much better. Does he have better chemistry on line 3?
Speaking of chemistry, though at the moment I agree Norris is better than Stutzle, do you think Stutzle should be on line 1?

Quoting: SupremeOverlord14

Note: this is the worst case scenario. So I would not love the Gagner signing, specially if it forces Brown down the lineup. Leads into question two: Brown is better and is a good fit for the top 6.

Stutzle, I think, will be the more complete player eventually. Norris is on the verge of of a 30 goal season and is better defensively in only his 2nd NHL season. Doesn't help that Stutzle has very little to work with beside him as the LW, Formenton, is finding his finish and whomever on the RW side right now is no good. Hoping we see a Formenton-Stutzle-Joseph line.
