Thread: Dougie Hamilton Sign-and-Trade With Winnipeg
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Idk what their thoughts were back then and I didn't follow the draft as much as I did now or in my younger years but I think they made the right choice though Couturier would of been good too, really think getting a future 1C was the right choice with their first draft pick after the move to Winnipeg.

I honestly think that center is the most important and hardest position to fill and teams can get by with an average D core, you're not going anywhere with crappy/weak centers.

Also there were all those Hamilton for Ehlers trades in the summer and I was dead set against that idea then, still would be today and I would never make this trade proposed here.

Still think the defense issue is overblown for the Jets, having bottom 6 players that score at almost the same rate as the current bottom 6 Detroit Red Wings is the biggest issue and the easiest to fix.</div></div>
Ya I don’t make that deal either, my point was more that jets went rather off the board for scheifele at 7 with those guys sitting there, and if they loved Hamilton I’m sure they take him and trade back into first for scheifele, hindsight would have been quite a draft. I believe scheifele was ranked late 20s not to say somebody else would have drafted him in top 15 or 20 and jets lose out.

Thread: Are the Flyers ready to move on from Patrick
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Couturier</b></div><div>You should have been able to figure that out from my comment. I know he's had injuries. Does that mean we just give up on him? The only severe injury he's really had is this migraine disorder. Malkin has had injuries his entire career and nobody talks about moving him.

If for some reason you're still not able to figure out what I'm saying. It's that we're not trading him and we're giving him a chance.</div></div>
Hextall should have sent him back to Brandon in his 19 year old year, after a summer of rehab for core muscle. Too me his trajectory is Brandon sutter with out the 4 million cap hit, but we will see. Hopefully health will give him a chance to get his career back on track
