Thread: Getting someone that can protect pasta
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gofnut999</b></div><div>Anderson is an enigma.

Was the 27 goal season last year his breakout on his way to becoming a 2nd line power forward? Or was it an anomaly? With 1g 2a and playing 4th line this year one has to wonder.

He has never been paired with had a C like Krejci long term either. That would certainly give him a boost.

If he is that 25g guy it is what B’s are looking for.

If he’s the 30 point guy he’s been all along he offers little more than Brett Ritchie does.

Zboril and 3rd would be the max i’d pay to find out. But Jax don’t take it.</div></div>

I personally don't see the fascination some have with Anderson. Good player, but no idea what he really is (as you pointed out) and for what CBJ would ask for him, he's not worth it.

He’s always had more upside the Kuhlman, never shown the ability to use it. He played good for a game and a half. Rest of time he looked his usual self. Weak on the puck. Timid. Not using his speed. He still has a long way to go.[/quote]

I can’t really be more specific. RW 25 or under signed for 4+ years at under 5M that’s available. 🤷🏻‍♂️

So as long as their RW, 25 or younger and signed for 4+ years for $5 million that all you care about? Production doesn't matter?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gofnut999</b></div><div>I love Heinen. I have railed against anyone who has tried to trade him.

But he is better suited for 3rd line. And for all the talk about how great he is defensively. He has zero time on PK. He’s probably to good for 3rd line but does not score enough for top 6 role. Had he built on his rookie year i’d feel differently. He hasn’t which is weird because his overall game has not slipped.</div></div>

I mean they don't need him on the PK, so why use him? Bergeron, Marchand, Krualy, Nordstrom, Wagner, Lindholm...all guys that play the PK. Our 4th line has traditionally been the major PK guys after 37/63. Its not real shock. Plus after a kill is over you can swing Heinen out with Krejci/DeBrusk or you send out the Coyle line...all should be fresh.

[/quote]If you see another long term asset that is signed for under 5m out there that’s attainable by all means i’m all ears. Otherwise it’s a patch job and hope Seny can step up next year. There are people who believe in Santa Claus too. So i guess...[/quote]

you're going to need to be more specific than just "long term asset that is signed for under $5 million"

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quote:</div>I like Tuch because he built on his rookie year, size, speed, and the contract.</div>

That's correct he did, but my guess is you're more drawn in by the size/speed

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quote:</div>There had been rumblings he could be made available to upgrade their D. Let’s face it when Nick Holden is playing 2nd pair and you are a playoff caliber team you NEED an upgrade.

That said the only deal that works for Vegas is Carlo. That is not going to happen. I’d have no problem with B’s making a decision between Krug and Grizz and using the other. Vegas likely can’t re-sign Krug and Grizz does not get it done. Even with a package that is an overpayment it makes no sense for Vegas.</div>

I think Grz plus an add is fair. If he's going to see an increase in TOI and PP time, his production (in theory) should go up. Right now he's a 20pt d-man. If he can get to 35 points does it make it closer? A 35pt d-man whose young and under team control for a 45 point winger. Without looking it up, I'd imagine there are fair less 35pt d-man than there are 45pt wingers.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quote:</div>Nope it’s likely move some pieces, trade for Toffoli or similar type rental and start all over again next year.</div>

All set on Toffoli, he's not what this team needs either. Honestly IDK what piece is out there that works for Boston. I still think you could move Heinen to #2RW when Seny returns and see what you got.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gofnut999</b></div><div>Well, Tuch has produced more on 3rd line with Eakin and Nosek as linemates than Heinen has playing top 6 so....ya.

Sorry you are so resistant to change. 🤷🏻‍♂️</div></div>

Heinen played a few games in the top 6 this year and played well actually lol. I'm not resistant to change, hell I'm not even resistant to Tuch. What VGK would ask for him though isn't worth it. This is what blows my mind about our fanbase. Guys like DeBursk or Tuch are considered stud top 6 wingers. A guy like Heinen, who has similar production (and maybe the best 200ft game of the 3) is considered a 3rd liner lol.

The set of standards change for each player, that's what blows my mind.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gofnut999</b></div><div>Over everything B’s have thrown out there for the last 5 years trying to fix that glaring hole. He’s a better player than Heinen, Kuhlman, Bjork, Senyshyn none of whom are the long term answer to RW2. Tuch is, with a good contract. You are not fixing it in free agency this year. Certainly not at that price either. And good luck finding a long term option otherwise. I’m sure his numbers will get a bump playing more minutes and with Krejci and Debrusk as line mates as opposed to Eakin and Nosek. But again 20-50 is still far more production than they have gotten out of that slot in years. Don’t know what you think you are going to get for RW2, but it’s not going to be a 40 goal all star. Which seems to be all you are willing to do for any deal. Sorry but status quo is not going to work. But if your content with a bunch of mediocre 3rd line prospects trying to fill that void for years. So be it.</div></div>

So a 45pt winger in Tuch is a long term answer to the RW, but a 40pt winger in Heinen isn't? WOW lol. I never realized those 5 points were make or break.
