Wrong - Coyle is not negative value. If you watch him play every night and don’t appreciate what he brings night in and night out you don’t understand hockey.
Wrong - Bussi should be in the NHL he’s just blocked. #2 in AHL last year. Had shutout in pre season. Opened season with 40 save game.
Correct - Forbort is easily replaced. Sort of. If they moved him they have nobody that does what he does. Eats dirty minutes, stay at home D, blocks shots, kills penalties, cuts down wear and tear on top guys so they do not have to. Grizz, Zboril, Shatty, Mitchell not doing that. They still should move him if they need the cap space. But 1.5m of space is not worth a 3rd and Bussi. Not even worth the 3rd.
IDC about preseason lmao. And yes he should be in the NHL, but hes gonna be a career backup. This is laughable.
Coyle is 31 making all that money to be a 40 or so point guy. That sucks. You can say whatever you want but he is a career average defender, too. -2.8 defensive WAR value over past 3 seasons, two seasons negative and one positve plus he is at the age where forwards begin to regress. No team wants him at that AAV til hes 35. Sorry not sorry if you cant actually see that.
Ill gladly say the same stuff with Pamieri on the Islanders lol.
"Eats dirty minutes, stay at home D, blocks shots, kills penalties, cuts down wear and tear on top guys so they do not have to. "
These are all subjective or wrong.
Okay he plays 17-18 minutes a game, thats not dirty minutes for defenseman. Stay at home d? Like hes defensively sound? Hes solid i guess but hes just above replacement level. Everyone blocks shots. You have other guys who could kill penalties like he does too. "Cuts down wear and tear on top guys so they do not have to" he plays 17-18 minutes hes not saving those other guys much time... And plus id rather have your best guys against other top guys lmao.
You are clearly blinded by bias, which is fine, but this is not worth my time
I could say the same thing about any player.
Marco Scandella eats big minutes!!! (17-18 minutes a night). Kyle Palmieri is great, if you disagree you dont understand hockey (same stats as Coyle but ill proceed to not name a single tangible or objective reason to why he is good and why you do not understand hockey)
This isnt a personal attack against you, this is just me stating how terrible your argument is. You cant say Coyle is good at xyz because he isnt. He sucks rn and is literally so washed yet you wont admit that til hes bough out or traded and you can finally see how bad he is lmao.
