Oh, come on. You know you'd give him and +++ for JVR.

Might need a fourth plus, though.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Might need a fourth plus, though.

Might have to. But for sure it would be worth it. He's big I hear.

 

[DaGeneral]

Well he hasn't even played double digit games

... am I doing this right?

 

[AngelDuck]

Dominated college, dominated AHL,....Dominating NHL?

Just kidding. But in all seriousness he's probably solidified his spot for next year already

 

[ADHB]

Maybe that statement that we would need Nylander back in exchange for him isn't that far off...

 

[eternalbedhead]

Obviously an overhyped scrubmuffin.

 

[Dirk316]

Just a solid player would love for him to get paired with Manson type dman next year so he steps it up offensively

He's basically the same as Leipsic and Leivo.

Lindholm/Monty will be fun next year

Lindholm/Monty will be fun next year

Was my wish for a long time. Assuming we will lose Vatanen.

Fowler - Manson
Lindholm - Montour

That's a good core.

 

[Backpack]

Somehow, someway, if we can keep Vats and roll a D-core of:

Fowler-Manson
Lindholm-Montour
WhoCares-Vatanen

Now that is a talented, young, mobile defense with enough grit to run with anyone.

 

[Unholy]

Montour has looked pretty damn solid defensively and making smart quick decisions with the puck. Very impressed with his playoffs.

Only way i can see that happening is if we flip Theodore to Vegas in a deal to protect everyone else.

yep. Still have two big problems though:

1. $$$. Unless we've somehow magically wished away Bieksa, Despres, and Stoner, we can't afford that D. Getting rid one will be difficult as is.

2. We really need to flip one of our D to upgrade the forwards as well since we're not going to be able to re-sign Eaves most likely.

 

[bumperkisser]

Despres getting hurt is seriously such a bummer. He added good grit to our d line while still being able to make a good first pass. A Despres mountour would be great

 

[KaseMeOutside]

was outstanding tonight never at all felt nervous when he was on the ice that kid honestly thinks he's the best player on the ice when he steps on it and is going to be a star for a long time

 

[AngelDuck]

He has a chance to be an all star. The decision making is so impressive from a rookie

 

[mightyquack]

I said it in the GDT, but again the deceptive he shows with the puck on his stick on the blueline is unbelievable - I can't wait to see him make that offensive breakthrough as all the tools are there for him to be elite in that regard. Hopefully that defensive game keeps taking steps forward too.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

It's too bad he isn't Calder eligible any more.

 

[Ducks in a row]

Now has 5 point in 11 playoff games

 

[Teemu Salami]

Can't remember if it was described as a "homerun" or "boom or bust" pick, certainly looking like a homerun or a boom.

 

[Paul4587]

He's the real deal. He's streets ahead of Theodore right now and fits like a glove with Lindholm playing top matchups.
