Thread: Ripping it to shreds
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Propeller09</b></div><div>Coyle was very hurt last year. Played through some serious knee injuries. He is a good option. Also, Haula as a 2nd line center got Vegas to the finals. I also think there is almost Zero chance they sign Lysell without the intention of him playing in the NHL this year. It makes no sense to burn a year of his contract. Studnicka is also an option. I think there is some healthy competition, which is good. Who knows who becomes available when teams start to fall out of contention. Hall can carry the line. He is play driver much more than a scorer. They signed a bunch of solid wingers who can play center to cover for the inexperience.

Dvorak, Monahan, Eichel, Pavelski, Kadri and I think Vancouver is in a jam with Pettersson - maybe not him, but where he ends up.

I still think their eyes are on Barkov in the offseason, so the center by committee thing is intentional to A) see what they have in the young guys and increase their value for a deal or if they are good enough, even better. B) To save money for next off season for McAvoy and Barkov.</div></div>

I think if Florida makes the playoffs and makes it past the first round, Barkov stays with the team. Honestly I think Barkov likes it in Florida, cheap taxes, good weather, and such

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Propeller09</b></div><div>There is a reason I pointed out their development arcs.

as I said, nearly identical. It would have been very easy to say Hertl was going "down hill fast" after his 4th season of 22pts in 49 games.

Debrusk and Krejci were never a great line fit. One plays N/S and one plays E/W. Also, maybe because of Debrusk, but Smith found his game about half way through the season and Debrusk was long exiled by then. I am not sure how you would expect him to score goals playing with Kuraly or and banged up Coyle while on his off wing.

He also talked about how Covid and the isolation was tough on him. Easy to write off, but he has always been a player that needs a good mental mindset to play well. He is all confidence and he had none last year. If he was struggling with mental health issues, his game would surely be reflective.

Couple other things to keep in mind.
Krejci went from .65ppg before Hall arrived to 1.35 after. That is Hall, but it's also Krejci being engaged.
Debrusk shot 5.4% - His career before last season is 13.5%. There is no reason that should not bounce back. Last year being the anomaly. Kind like how Beleskey shot 8.6% for his career until his 15% season, then the Bruins paid him for his anomaly season.

In no world is Hertl a top 25 Center in the league.
in no particular order 1) Bergeron 2) sid 3) McDavid 4) Draisaitl 5) Mackinnon 6) Matthews 7) Tavres 8) Barkov 9) Coutourier 10) giroux 11) Kopitar 12) Point 13) Malkin 14) Seguin 15) Schiefele 16) Zibenjad
17) Lindholm 18) Eichel 19) Petersson 20) Horvat 21) Aho 22) Trocheck 23) Backstrom 24) Kunetsov 25) ROR 26) Barzal 27) PLD 28) Malkin

Then you have the next wave of kids who will be there - probably this year: Susuki, Zegras, Stutzle, Byfield, and about 10 others.</div></div>

Hertl over Lindholm, Horvat, Trocheck, and Kuznetsov. also almost none of these guys are on the block. who do you think Boston will try to get to be the second line center? Hertl is most defiantly better than Coyle. I thought y'all wanted a cup?
