How true.

It?s also easier/more possible to teach a skilled player to add a defensive dimension to his game than the other way around.

When's this "developing" going to take place? Don't know about you guys but I'm tired of watching this group get pushed around. As I see it, they should be all in this year.

 

[herman]

What is getting pushed around? Are we losing because of being pushed? Or are we losing because we aren?t scoring or getting scored on?

Development is happening

We have issues in generating chances and our xga is bad, although Andersen had an atrocious start. Hutch isn't helping either.

We are seriously having a discussion about career high 47 point Josh Anderson?  Two years older than Nylander and way worse.  This is just silliness

It'd basically be David Clarkson all over again. Grit! Local kid! (almost) 30 goals one time!

Come on people.

I?d be open to a Josh Anderson for Jeremy Bracco move. He is a Darren Ferris client though and unless the cap spikes, we are better off not bothering.

What I'm hearing here is basically Nylander for Hyman.  And that's a stupid trade idea 24x7.

For sure.

Hyman is a lightweight and not at all intimidating.

Saw this idea on some trade rumour site. Wanted to run this by the fans here. Trade Tyson Barrie for TJ Brody from Calgary. Thoughts?

TJ Brodie collapsed in practice and is undergoing a series of tests.  Probably not the guy you'd want to trade for at the moment.  Health wise I hope he is ok.

I live in Calgary.  people here were not high on Brodie before he went down

Georgiev pls

Georgiev pls

With Hank about to ride off into the sunset, do we think he's even available at all?

They have another goalie, Igor Shestyorkin, who is projected to be even better than him. Right now he's dominating in his first AHL season. But since Lundqvist has one more season on his deal after this one, do they want to keep Shestyorkin in the AHL for 2 straight seasons (would he want to play in the AHL for 2 straight seasons?) or do they want to clear the back-up spot up so he can start getting NHL minutes while Lundqvist is still around to platoon/mentor him?

 

[Andy007]

How about Johnsson (3.4) + Ceci (4.5) -1.5m retained
for
Raanta (4.25) and Crouse (1.0)

Get a good, experienced goalie, a physical winger w/ upside and clear 1.25million on the Cap. Sandin comes up and Dermott moves to the right side. All problems fixed?????

Sounds like they might be making a mistake...I'm all for capitalizing on that.
