Thread: Alter the DNA
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JDHockey</b></div><div>Organizations and coaches utilize players differently than others. I think Barzal could be the dynamic 1C we need. If not you run Bertuzzi-Zacha-Pastrnak and Marchand-Poitras-Barzal. If there is another 1C option that fits better for them then definitely. I still believe this is the package it would take.

In regards to your last comment, points are fun during the season. Sign me up for wildcard placement and deep runs every year. It blows my mind the amount of Bruins fans who are content with regular season success and then use it for their agenda. In a copycat league, is anyone copying the Bruins system ?</div></div>

well that's just the thing - you want a playoff style player and your target is barzal? I just don't see it. to me he's a perimeter player. dependent on the powerplay etc. I think what you want is what they already have. both zacha and coyle play a big style, and both get to the net.

The point is, and I think you recognize this, Barzal isn't an ideal fit. Stylistically, he doesn't fit the mold. Am I for any team going outside of the box a little here and there to get someone that can help? absolutely. but if you're making a franchise altering trade of a core member of the team, the teams top prospect, and two firsts - that player better be a perfect fit. If you're going to offer that, go get JEE.
