Speculation: 2017-18 Roster Discussion - Part 7

[Vasilevskiy]

you know, he's like, you know, really good

 

[RegularSznAllStars]

Damn could you imagine if Sustr played with the edge that the waterboy does? Maybe all he needed to learn was visualize and attack. Coop needs to learn from coach klein.

If you put him on 500mg of testosterone a week he would be a f***ing monster...

Who is the team doctor? Get on it!

 

[These Are The Days]

lmfao it says so much that they are not even practicing Sustr

It's well known that he has a back problem. He's carried this defense for so long it finally caught up to him.

How long have we been asking for this?

 

[Stormbreaker]

How long have we been asking for this?

315 games played so probably around 300ish

Lmao solid

Might be off topic, but do you guys think Julien Brisebois will be an NHL GM at some point? He seems like he could be a good one.

I have no idea how he isn't one, and any team doing a GM search that doesn't hire him are idiots. You can - to an extent - credit the "discovery" of Tyler Johnson, Yanni Gourde, and Jonathan Marchasseult right on his doorstep.

Yeah I don’t either, maybe he doesn’t want to leave Tampa Bay

He's been a target for a while but it seems to me that he's quite happy in his current role. There's no doubt in my mind that he'll eventually take that next step but I'm not sure that the right situation has presented itself yet. It seems like he was on Carolina's short list but that position is pretty unattractive with the salary and owner.

Id probably take him over Murray (I don’t want to fire him like some do, he’s not the greatest but he’s not bad either)

Really some people want to fire Murray? Our first round picks havent been great but the rest has been beyond great.

Pretty sure he's not talking about our Murray.

Yea I thought he was a tb fan.

 

[Stormbreaker]

 

[Werewolf]

Never heard anyone here wanting to fire Murray. Dude is top 3 in the biz and getting better. Seems they've finally figured out what they want in defensemen, which was the only thing keeping his drafts from being A+.

 

[BoltSTH]

From the last 2 games it seems Sergachev is fine playing on the right, which makes next years pairings a lot easier with Hedman /McD on the left and Stralman/Serg on the right. Coburn/Koekkoek/Gardi/Dotchin/FA are fine for the 3rd pair

Well what's good is that Hedman, Sergachev, and McDonagh can and will play the right side well. Give a us all kinds of flexibility going forward.

He made a big push for the Montreal job, and if I had to guess he is holding out for that again when MB gets canned.

How long will that be though? Didn't Molson say he's sticking with Bergevin for a rebuild?

We'll see... if they're in the crapper at the halfway point next year, I wouldn't be shocked to see him go.

 

[The Gongshow]

I'm hoping Yzerman pulls some magic and signs Miller. It seems unlikely but we'll have to wait and see.

Wonder if maybe Yzerman moves Johnson or Palat at the draft. Hopefully he moves Sustr for a pick too.

 

[Stormbreaker]

EE believes Vasy is going to start on Saturday. Really hope that's not the case.

Exactly. I would not use him until maybe Boston. Give Louis the other games.
