Man id feel a sense of dread and overall hopelessness if i started my career in edmonton and then got traded to jersey
I have an mvp season and what happens?
Goalie falls apart?
Do we get a new goalie? Nothing deflates a team faster than having no goalie
Is there any reason to have faith in jerseys ownership? Is this the same clown that did the kovalchuk deal?
I got to see alot of hall in Edmonton... this kid breaths hockey. He knows hockeys history. He loved winning those memorial cups
I think maybe he parties a little too much? Is a little cliquish? But hes NEVER had support like bergeron, chara, marchand, krejci
Honestly if we got him, theres a bunch of you here that would be posting how wrong you were
Im not saying i think we will get him... but if we can, we must
He's a talented player, obviously, one of the most talented guys around, Mike. What I don't like about his game is what appears to me as him not being mentally tough. Rather than realizing he can only control what he himself does on the ice and in preparation for the season, he's pouting and playing disinterested hockey. That's a huge red flag to me. I mean really, what does it say about him that he's capable of playing a dominant, MVP caliber style of hockey when he chooses to, but only when he wants? Whomever gets him next season is going to benefit for that season, but what about the 9 years afterwards that they'll be on the hook for? Is he going to wake up and be happy enough to want to actually try hard, or is he going to go through the motions and half ass it instead because he's not happy? Big risk there, IMO.
