I don't want him back past this year, we can't keep everybody just to keep them.Trading Moore to play Mueller probably makes the team worse to be honest the rest of this year. And I'm not even a big Moore guy.
I don't want him back past this year, we can't keep everybody just to keep them.
But I think we may as well keep him the rest of this year. If we don't keep him, that's gonna probably be more minutes for someone that sucks. Whether it's even more minutes for Andy Greene again (who has been playing less recently, and thank god for that) or maybe playing even more of Lovejoy.
The only reason not to trade Moore is to not disrupt the locker room.
On ice he would not be missed.
what world are you guys living in?
is this some crusade to prove you are right because youve hated on him since hes been here? hes one of our better players. you dont just let him go.
funny how vats gets a pass but moore is the black sheep. moore is finding his game and realizing his role. thats a guy we want right now.
As I've been saying for a while nowand why is that?
what is your solution after this year?
As I've been saying for a while now
Upgrade to someone better than Moore. Like Carlson in UFA or maybe a trade for someone.
If we keep Moore after this year, we're pretty much making no improvements to our defense for next year and that means that Lovejoy is probably gonna keep playing and Andy Greene is still gonna be second in ice time on the team, when he really shouldn't be anymore.
Vats gets a "pass" because he has been our best D since arriving outside of Severson.
Moore is a bad Dman. He can't clear the puck. He is constantly out of position .
the thing is, moore is a UFA after this year. if we don't move him, he walks for nothing.
we would def miss his offense, but i think he's replaceable. there are plenty of D his caliber that are available. aside from carlson, there's de haan, barberio, and a bunch of RFA LD on teams that are cap strapped, who we might be able to make a move for
i'm really intrigued with minnesota though. they're not losing many contracts, and zucker is gonna get a fat raise, along with dumba. anything we can take from there?
and why is that?
what is your solution after this year?
vats gets a pass because we traded for him. he has been out of position just as much as moore. yes he is a much better player and his vision puts moore to shame. his passing/vision is great but dont tell me hes in position more than moore (that sounded weird )
when hes out of position it leads to lost games. moore may screw the pooch every now and then but hes fine overall. in a perfect world we keep both.
i get that moore is expendable but i think they should keep him and really think they will.
