Thread: 19-20 not the most ideal but a better team

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>That's about what I think Cholowski was sent down to work on his defense. Like a lot of offensive defensemen coming up they really didn't have to worry about taking chances they could rely on skill alone to cover mistakes. Get to the NHL and those same mistakes more often than not turn in to goals.</div></div>

I personally rate Hronek higher. Right handed obviously makes a difference but i honestly think, as of right now, he is better offensively and defensivley. Though Cholowski definitely has the upper hand when it comes to skating ability

Thread: Anthony Andrea see you later

It’s hard to justify a rebuilding (and really really struggling team) trading a young forward on pace for 30+ goals playing on that bad team.

Not really though. Who ya going to get past? Have to beat 2 of the following. The red hot hurricanes, the fully loaded blue jackets, Sydney Crosby, and Montreal. Not to mention you’re about 6 points behind already. Not impossible by any means. But good luck lol

Thread: Tell me what you think

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sabres89</b></div><div>As of yesterday, the stl pick went to anaheim. The sj pick was predicted to be 30th- thats assuming they lose in the cup. If the stl pick is worse than 20, thats the pick that goes to anaheim. Its worth mentioning because there is a difference in value between 19 and 30, especially if the talent drops off around 18/19. I dont know what kappos ceiling is, i mean if its reinhart, maybe detroit takes the picks, if its eichel they hang up and block your number. Buffalos pick is 8th today, plus 19 say- i dont think that gets you there. 8 plus 30 certainly doesnt, at least if its me.</div></div>

Correct. 8 maybe gets you a great player. Anything after 15 usually a good player (obviously there are outliars here) but Detroit isn’t starving for good players. We have them. Detroit is starving for game changers. Typically speaking. We will find them. 1 game changer> 1 great and 1 good player imo. And sheary doesn’t do much for Detroit imo either.

Thread: 19-20 a team we can get behind

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jfstompers</b></div><div>id still like to see them move dayley and add a quality dman, use some money on gardiner or myers</div></div>

Agree. Not sure we have takers though. I believe fleury can flourish in the right situation (why I moved for him)
Wouldn’t mind Myers but I would never describe Gardner as a quality dman. More inclined to wait and see if Trouba will be a ufa after next season. Not in a rush to compete next season imo. Myers would probably lead to less development and more mediocrity

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac555</b></div><div>I know he’s mentioned above - but think Gauthier is making a push to be the most likely candidate.

Was thinking of gauthier as more of an option as a replacement should Williams decide to not return. Pray to the gods that Ferland stays put

Ned, Necas, Fleury, and maybe Gauthier. Non Charlotte- maybe Fox
Also a push from Bean. (Need to move some defensive pieces around, too much nhl level talent)

Meh I’m not sure. In Detroit Mrázek showed signs of being outstanding. Inconsistency the issue. I don’t know what happened in philli. Was a train wreck for him. Starting to look good in Carolina though. Looked like a brick wall playing last night

Thread: How did Frk make it through waivers

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div>Because he's just not that good and teams don't need players like him very often. Most teams have 1 or 2 of them already that they are worried about losing to waivers also.

Remember, he's having trouble staying with a Detroit lineup that hasn't been good since he arrived there. If he can't crack their lineup, can he crack many other team's?

He's quite similar to Habs Charles Hudon in that sense. I think this may be a good sign. If Frk clears chances are Habs could put Hudon on waivers and he'd clear also.</div></div>

The funny thing is. If frk was the exact same player, only 30 years old and making 2 million more, he would be on Detroit’s first line #Blashill&HollandLogic
