Thread: Off-Season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>Those beaches run all the way up to Wisconsin. Chicago runs all the way to the Northwestern University campus. Plenty of homes and condos that are on beaches. Then the entire ritzy North Shore suburbs...still in the county are mansions on the lake with private beaches.</div></div>

oh I know all about those nice northern suburbs I use to work in lake bluff surrounded by all the millionaires. It's where I learned how to code.
It's the city beaches though, that I refer too. oak st and north ave. North ave use to be the bomb. but the city has really gone down hill from then.
And of course the end of the rainbow beaches on the southside.
which use to be a nice neighborhood with huge homes way back when before my time. but is now the ghetto.

Thread: Top10 defensive Centers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pens3lieve</b></div><div>Barkov for sure.
Sid's higher I think.
also I assume offence is being taken into consideration bc a player like Teddy Blueger who's basically PIT's #3C by some metrics is a top defensive player in the NHL. He's lacking offensively but his line with Aston-Reese and Tanev was a premiere shutdown line this year...

I saw a tweet not to long ago. Blueger #5 in the NHL in driving play at the net. Blueger is more than a defensive player.
Have to admit was kind of shocked at seeing that stat myself. But it is what it is.

Thread: Rolling the dice
"Getting a promising wing and a 2nd round pick in the 2021 draft is probably the best return Pitt can get."

GMJR is a swindler.
He got Kahun for Maatta, He got a pick for Gudbranson.....he'll get more than that for Murray.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>Why would u want to do that. Just draft Drysdale at #4. Byfield is starting to grow a reputation of being a lazy, non hard working forward is who is not defensively responsible. Which is one of the main reasons people see Stuzle going over him.</div></div>

I've been saying this for some time. He's gonna drop. Stutzle is the better player there. People have Rossi over him at this point.
If he goes in the top 5 I'm putting him at the bottom of it. 4-5.

Truth is the draft is a long ways away and teams are gonna have a lot of extra time to break down film and really look guys over. Hype will die down and you will be looking at smarter decision making I think.
And I too agree, Dry is going at 3-4. Top defenseman in the draft, and he's a righty. Considering almost every team wants to move the puck from the Right point that is huge.

Thread: The Leafs are fine Everyone hold your horses
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boomer125</b></div><div>And with this D core the Leafs can move the puck to the forwards, Rielly, Holl, Dermott, Sandin all skating puck moving Defensemen</div></div>

have you ever played hockey? Do you have any idea how difficult it is to backhand a puck across the ice with any speed or accuracy?
There is a reason most defense men do not play their off side. Even pro defensemen can't do it effectively. This isn't some made up issue. This is a fact of life.
They end up playing center field instead of the left side because it's just too hard to do this. And it does cause problems, especially if you are trying to cycle. Because not only do you have to pass it off your back hand, but you have to change your whole stance to receive it. Which is why it effects how teams play.
It's cool though. Handicap yourself.
