Thread: Twins city rebuilt D in Winny Edm winger help MTL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy739</b></div><div>in your system he may be ok
you're system is based on being big and slow

bring him to the east and watch him struggle like Shattenkirk

its a different game out here something everyone forgets.
but as more and more West teams lean into the Speed portion of the Game
MIN left playing the same style they were in 2009

Great bunch of Fans in MIN and one of the best Systems in US Hockey in the Wilds home State but you're still choosing not to adapt to todays game .

i mean you need size in the playoffs for sure but look at STL,BOS,WSH and VGK who make up the 4 teams from the past 2 SCF.They're based on Speed and Size finding a nice balance but in MIN they coach a size based system expecting players like Fiala to adapt instead of trying to carve out a dedicated role for him like MTL did Byron who has become a huge part of our identity as a Speed based team the past few years .</div></div>

You clearly don’t know who Jonas Brodin even is. He’s not big AND he’s an elite skater...easily in the top 10% of all nhl defensemen!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy739</b></div><div>Staal wont leave and we dont want him
he like Tavares publicly snubbed the Habs

Brodin isnt worth any of the prospects offered by himself .
he was drafted just as the rules changed by a team that still hasnt got on board with todays speed based NHL .

Brodin every year since his rookie season has declined as the league's gotten faster .
MTL doesnt want another Alzner Situation taking on an out dated D who cant learn the league's pace to save his life .

Nathan Beaulieu is a player we very simularly drafted to fit the old NHL's style and paid for it .
MIN to stubborn to walk away now but if Brodin cant play sheltered minutes behind Ryan Suter then no way in heck can he handle the minutes Chiarot's putting him</div></div>

You need to watch Brodin more...horrible assessment!
