So Larsson, Oleksiak, Dunn, Schultz is so much better then Ekholm, Nurse, Bouchard, Ceci? Maybe, don't see it myself but guess it's possible.
Geez no, Ryan Hartman is the worst 1C in the league!.. lol
Come on, the guy was a career 3rd liner till Minnesota had no one else and Kaprizov arrived to carry him around the ice.
Yes Ek and Boldy are good, didn't say they weren't but on a whole that forward group isn't great, Zuccarello is good but is aging and he plays with Kaprizov who is amazing, that dude is underrated!
The reason is Evason!
Is Minnesota even keeping Addison? Seems like he might be on the outs there.
I'm a Jets fan, I don't think they're gonna miss Duchois or Wheeler at all to be honest. Wheeler is a negative at 5v5 and was a hindrance to the PP, PLD is streaky and takes too many penalties, Wheeler is a cancer and PLD needed to go before they acquired him, good riddance to both.
Idk, I like Morrissey and he had a great year but idk if he's really a 1D or if he's just a 1D on the Jets cause he's all we have, like I said I question if any of those other guys are true top 4 guys, hell other then Morrissey could one of them crack the Canes D core... lol 😆
To be fair they're an okay defense but not one a team could ever win a cup with.
>So Larsson, Oleksiak, Dunn, Schultz is so much better then Ekholm, Nurse, Bouchard, Ceci? Maybe, don't see it myself but guess it's possible.
Very much so yes. Morrissey >> Nurse, Ekholm, Bouchard, Ceci ... I don't know how that's even close
Hartman plays his role well. Yes, not a good 1C prototype but he forechecks hard and gets the puck to the puck scorer. Kinda just "good nuff" but yes, not very good compared to others. And still, Kap is a behind only wingers like Kuch, Marner, Draisitl [not great center/amazing winger bc he's a defensive void and PP queen], Pasta, Rantanen, Panarin. Legit top 5/6 winger in the game, like having Robertson. Zuc is a Kane/Panarin type that ages well due to his play style vs physical capacity.
Addison just needs to fit under their awful cap situation but plays exactly the role Dumba was good at and Faber is who I meant for the breakout season.
Why was Wheeler a cancer? He plays responsibly on the wing and so does PLD at C... and that's like 50 goals that who exactly is going to replace?
I think the Jet's Dcore has carried their F core, not the other way around [like EDM]. What do you think because you prolly watch them more?
