Thread: Suzuki at 2c green at tdl
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sebybbq</b></div><div>For suzuki i think he will but not this year. He have talent and a very great hockey iq but he need to work is speed if he want a role one the first 2 line. As for fleury he was pretty bad the first 8 games but is last five game have been much better. Habs have play more at home so he is use properly. He has been solid last 5 game using is body, he work on is quickness getting the puck to the forward for the quick transition. It aint perfect but i have improved significantly since is first games. Plus he started to shot the puck more effectively. If he keep improving like in those last 5 games he would keep is spot in Montreal. If he regress i think that laval is a good décision but right now he doesn’t deserve a send back to laval</div></div>

I should add that if they dont bring someone new in he should not be sent down. But I do see him as a current weakness of the lineup which is fine for now but without some pretty big steps I dont think you could keep him in the lineup for playoffs. It is a long season though so hopeful he continues to improve.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sebybbq</b></div><div>By your standard because he hasn’t register point he is not good?? But he have 37 hit, 16 block shot play around 14:30 a game thats not bad for a rookie defenseman of 21 years old. Last 3-4 game is game started to pick up a bit he join the rush, have some great shot on goal, and cut the turnovers. Right now he isn’t hurting the habs so there no point of sending him back to laval he will continu to progress faster in nhl</div></div>

Points are what I am the least worries about. Like I said he does good things, i love that he is a punishing defenceman and think he will be good in the future. However right now his defensive numbers are worse than mike Reilly's and that is saying something. We bleed shots against when he is on the ice which is part of why he is blocking so many. He simply is not ready and has a roster spot more because the other depth players mb got have been equally as bad with less future upside. I think going down and playing big minutes for laval would be better for him. As for green I dunno if he would work out here but my thoughts are he would do well somewhere he could have a lesser role at this point in his career. Also suzuki at C with domi on his wing is just something I want to see

Thread: Another option STL-TOR
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div>Hard no on this one.

For me this is all about age and cap management.

Kyrou is no where near Nylander's level.

Liljegren is no where near Parayko's level.......yet. But he could be.

For me, its a short sighted move and one that frankly St Louis should have no interest in.

They are an older team that is all in to win, their defence isn't what it used to be so taking 1 of their 2 best defencemen out of their lineup for futures just doesn't make sense.

From Toronto's perspective, I think they are shortening their window by making themselves a few years older.</div></div>

I don't follow your logic, If you are arguing that Liljegren could be Parayko, why is it not valid to argue that Kyrou could be a nylander? Both look like really good young guys who have done nothing yet. Also I would argue that Parayko holds more value than Nylander, A good D holds more value than a good winger. Add in that his contract is way better value than what nylander is supposedly asking.
