Alzner is no worse defensively than Niskanen. Niskanen is able to move and possess the puck more on that pairing because Alzner covers him and retrieves it for him/gets it to him exceptionally well. He also almost never gets burned which is huge and lets his partner play with more freedom.
Might as well call John Erskine out of retirement if you're going for Hainsey.
agreed, I'm saying this avatar is a hands down playoff theme winner.
We lost Semin and Green for nothing. Under Leonsis, trading players like Ovie, Backstrom and Holtby will NEVER happen, period.
They probably go for a stupid trade like getting rid of Samsonov or Bowey for another aging shutdown defenseman...
Alzner needs to be priority number one to re-sign, Oshie number two, Kuznetsov number three or two A. JC74 is the expendable one, with Bowey in the wings.
Selling high and saving cap space = clown...

It was a joke referencing a Bob McKenzie post on this website over 10 years ago.

didn't he reference again like few weeks ago?The young'ns don't know.
Say it with me now, "We're keeping Alzner and Holtby."
There...
...feels good doesn't it?
Why the **** would we consider losing either of the best, most reliable playoff performers on our roster who are in their prime years?
Jesus people...I know we're down a few whipping boys with Laich gone and Mojo playing great...but pull yourselves together.
It's called a salary cap. Big points to gmbm if he can't keep Oshie Carlson Alzner and Holtby
this thread, and our board.
Caps win against a surging divisional rival on the road......in a pretty convincing fashion....and all we see for the majority of the GDT is how either Holtby or Alzner are overrated, overpaid, and need to go.
as usual, this place isn't worth visiting. Yeah yeah. I will get told to stop reading, or to try and make an argument against the negativity. Sure. That seems to work well. Solid plan.

I have an idea: don't re-sign Alzner. He's not worth it.
