Dewar, what is he good for

I was hoping there was something that jumped out about Dewar.

Highlights I've seen, with goals, and such ... what is he good for ... surprise me.

But "what is he/it good for" this song popped into my head.

I’ll say it again, Dewar, what is he good for?

 

[Clark4Ever]

Based on the reaction from the Wild board, their fans are sorry to see him go. Dewar is a gamer that has the characteristics to become a fan favorite.

 

[aingefan]

LOL ouch!

If you look at his AHL numbers, he scores goals at a third line clip, but he’s a cy young candidate.
If you had a pass first guy with him, he could top out as a third liner.
It’s a decent niche add with some upside.
Fine business for 4th.

 

[Clark4Ever]

I’ll say it again, Dewar, what is he good for?

By all accounts, he's fast, aggressive, feisty, defensively responsible and a very good penalty killer.

 

[Smif]

I forgot about this

How many contracts were we at back then? There's likely a good chance that some of the staff wanted to sign him.

 

[darrylsittler27]

What did you expect? A 4th rounder in 2026. So a guy who has a 10 percent chance by 2030? We can recoup picks like that. Ovi? Sorry to see him go but I doubt he had a future here. We are loaded with forwards. Knies,Robertson, Cowan etc. We got a 24 year old C who was RFA, meaning you pay to sign him. We win this trade and needed this guy.

If by Boston dressing Maroon it forces the Leafs to dress Reaves they've won that mini-matchup before they even drop the puck. Especially on the road.

What is Reaves purpose? Protect the big 4 from sucker punches, slewfoots and elbows? He'll have a tough time doing that from the bench. If you have the Matthews line out against the Maroon line I absolutely love that. If we put out Reaves so he can take a run at Pasta or Marchand, Bruins absolutely love that. It's multi-level thinking.

Regular season that's fine, playoffs dress useful players. Every second Reaves is on the ice Boston is more likely to score a goal

If Boston is dressing Maroon? You think Boston got him not to play him? You think Boston got him to play him once and awhile? A guy like Maroon played every game for Tampa in the playoffs and they did pretty well for themselves... So you have no idea what you're talking about. You people clearly don't know the difference between regular season hockey and playoff hockey... Especially for how many years leaf fans have been crying about being tougher then when we have that people cry and complain about what the use or role of the player is... It's pretty obvious to be tough and play tough. His use and role is to go out there, don't be a liability, make smart plays, hit everything, fight everything and don't let the other team think they will just hit and walk all over you all game and get away with it.

He's a 4th. liner who is a 4th. liner in the playoffs.

And your point? I clearly stated he was a fourth liner by saying Boston got him to play him (obviously saying he's good enough to play) and I also said that's what we got reaves to be and to do. So again... What is your point exactly?

He isn't a player to be concerned about.

Playoffs don't make him into anything more than he is in the regular season. A 4th. liner, and he won't walking all over anyone all game long.

 

[IceColdBear]

I like that he's young and an RFA so we have some control, not a rental.

If he's a good bottom six pker who can chip in some offense and we can keep him around on a cheap contract for a few years, that's a good piece to have in the organization.

It could be good asset management, and help the team right now.

Of course, I have no idea if he's actually any good haha, so we'll see.

I never said he was a concern I was responding to someone who was arguing what his use was... Now you're talking about something completely different.. I never said playoffs make him better or worse I simply said we got him to be a fourth liner and play in the playoffs. So thanks for proving my point I guess?

The nice thing about Dewar is if he’s filling an Acciari type role, he’s a young guy doing it.

Yeah, that's a good comparable. Hopefully Dewar will be more durable.

Maroon is an agent of chaos.

 

[al secord]

By all accounts, he's fast, aggressive, feisty, defensively responsible and a very good penalty killer.

Uh, say ot again now...

 

[diceman934]

Player has upside on a team that can score. Love this pick up. He is tough and comes to play. Makes us a better team.

 

[Darcy Tucker]

The nice thing about Dewar is if he’s filling an Acciari type role, he’s a young guy doing it.

He's actually filling in the gaping hole Lafferty left us with when we dumped him to Vancouver.

They should have used on their PK then.

Wild has the 4th. worst PK%.

 

[Evilhomer]

He is better than both acciari and Lafferty.

 

[authentic]

I’ll say it again, Dewar, what is he good for?

Absolutely nothin’

 

[crump]

Absolutely nothin’

Good Godj’all

 

[TheMadHatTrick]

Would rather have traded for Tonya Harding's ex to knee-cap Marchand in the playoffs.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

Maroon is an agent of chaos.

That's a good description, and I don't think you're joking. I also think that you're also implying that he's not a non-factor.
