Sid needs to get his head out of his ass and start skating. Simple as that.
Bennett has been better than pretty good this year. The list of forwards on our team who have played better this year is as follows
Evgeni Malkin
I would love to see Fehr in the top 6. I'd also love to see Bennett in the top 6. I'd try both.
Eric has a real nose for the net, a pure scorer. He's the guy who's most likely to score the 'big goal'. He plays well in traffic, skates well for his size. He's a very competitive guy and very well respected by his teammates." - Brandon head coach Dean Clark
Fehr is a terrific sniper, and possesses a strong, accurate wrist shot. Although he could stand to gain a few more pounds, Fehr does use his size well, and is very difficult to knock off the puck when he is cycling in the corners. Like many players his size, he is not a great skater. However, he does make up for it with superb on-ice awareness and sound defensive play.
I suspect Perron is going to be gone. No saying it's what should happen, just what I think will.
EDIT: I don't get that with Sid. Just coasted into the offensive zone and skated all the way around the goal. So used to seeing a burst there, where he'll challenge the last defender.
kinda hard when no one can give him a pass while he's moving.
I still don't want to lose Perron without seeing what a real coach could get out of him.
We've seen every new acquisition play like **** for long stretches under Johnston, and guys like Sid and Geno have also been awful for long stretches.
That's not just some coincidence. This system sucks offensively, and doesn't get anything out of offensive guys.
I don't know if Perron's gonna find his game here, but these guys don't just evaporate into nothing the second they come here.
If we're gonna move someone, it'd probably have to be Perron though. I think with a legit coaching staff and proper lines, Perron's likely a 45-50pt guy again, but if it's not happening here, then move him for help on the blueline.
Love Perron and how he's playing w/ Geno and Kessel. He knows his role. He's doing much better albeit not back to his normal self.
Yeah Perron's playing really well as a 3rd wheel with Malkin and Kessel. I'd love to see Fehr on that line, but I don't know how you can justify breaking that line up as it is right now. I'd like to see Fehr tried with Sid just to see if it would work.
Bull ****. Kessel is easily second.
In any event, at Bennett's age, Fehr was seen as a disappointment because he had yet to post a 40 goal season. Only a moron would have ever thought that sort of accomplishment would have been in reach of Bennett at any point in his development.
There's a talent gap here, but Fehr ain't the guy at the bottom.
I think Perron gets packaged with a defenseman for a defensive upgrade in the end.
Does dunoulin have the best breakout passes on the team?
