Thread: Nate Schmidt Where was Sweeney

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bhavikp27</b></div><div>Quiet moves but that could bring a lot

No real top6 RWs other than Pastrnak in the past 4 years hurt+ 5on5 scoring issues
Kase: 93% of his goals (past 3Y) have been at even strength+plays RW (and got him while dumping Backes' contract)
Smith 73% of his goals (past 3Y) have been at even strength+plays RW (6x 20 G/82 GP)

That's what the Bruins need. Not a big move like signing a free agent (Beleskey/Backes) and overpaying them. Just need a top4 LHD now.</div></div>

Bruins aren’t winning a Stanley Cup if he keeps walking around eggshells to not trade major assets for major returns. I guarantee you that. He’s slowly letting this core die, and slowly getting ready for a Hawks-Esque Fire Sale.

He likes to play a very minor ball game. Craig Smith and Ondrej Kase we’re quiet moves. He’s gotta step out his bubble and make a splash. Especially after losing Krug.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aecliptic</b></div><div>Lapierre is a center, the highest ranked one on the board when the Rangers moved up... but good on you for knowing that. When they moved up thats who I thought they were targeting.

Ill trust them till I dont, its JD's first year drafting with us and between what he built in STL and CBJ Im willing to wait and see whats in the plans. Hate the Schneider pick all you want, but seeing JD as excited as he was getting him is awesome.</div></div>

I love the pick but positionally speaking it made no sense over Lapierre or a center. It’s like getting shot in the arm and treating your leg.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aecliptic</b></div><div>Why because they didnt want to draft Hendrix Lapierre? If in 3 years he turns into a bust, you then blame them for not taking someone else or having aweful scouting. Youre just that guy that needs something to complain about.</div></div>

That’s rich. A general manager that has failed everything he’s initiated. Winning. Rebuilding. Configuring. He’s done a poor job. How are you going to win a Stanley cup without center ice men?

Also I didn’t need Lapierre. I wanted a CENTER. Not a 50th defenseman. You can only play 6 a night and he has drafted more than 10 in the last 2 drafts.

Exactly why Gorton needs a beating. He relies on that to fix his issues. It’s obvious he doesn’t want to do it through the draft.

He’s not coming here. I’m not holding out hope for such risky quick-fixes that are bound to be blow up in our faces. I’ve seen some fans actually willing to give the Blackhawks their heinous ask for a $10M veteran center. Gorton needs to develop a top 6 center. He’s failing right now.

He’s a career 30-35 point player. If he played with stars like Tavares and Panarin of course he’s going to produce. They elevate his game. A 3C with a star is a 2C. He’s just not a player who can be relied on without Panarin. I want him gone. Gorton needs to walk up and find a replacement.

He’s the worst skater I’ve ever watched. Defensively responsible is all he’s really got going for him. He won’t be more than a 4C.

That’s very poor strategy to improve their roster. Lets take another defenseman so NJ doesn’t take him. He needed a Center. That was the best chance to take one. He obviously whiffed like he always does.

Strome is 27. He is defensively irresponsible. Gorton has already confirmed he’s shopped him. And most obviously, a beneficiary of Artemi Panarin’s production.

Getzlaf will solve virtually nothing. He needs to get a young center with top 6 potential. Nobody is giving those up. I hope Braden Schneider was worth it because he could’ve easily patched that with the #19 pick but I guess he needed yet another defenseman. Pathetic.

Still have a 31 goal scorer near 80 point player over Strome being the beneficiary of Artemi Panarin. It’s getting ridiculous. Gorton isn’t addressing the center and defense issues.

Elias Lindholm has center capabilities and qualities. Much better options than Ryan Strome of all players.

Well I’m referring to the whole picture. This team has Zibanejad nearly entering his 30s and the only other Centers he’s acquired through trades and picks don’t project as top 6 centers.

Henriksson: 3C
Howden: 4C
Barron: 4C
Chytil: 3C
Andersson: Bust
Strome: 3C
Spooner: 3C
Vierling: 3C
Rempe: AHL
Tarnstrom: 4C

I’m not sold on our center ice and defense. Gorton has done absolutely nothing to address our Center issues. All the credit he gets is concerning.
