Mason Marchment isn't going to do anything to help us out. Please go and show me Stanley Cup winners that prioritize beefing up the wings over the centre position. They're almost non-existent.
There are centers to sign. And even if there weren't, you don't just go and spend money stupidly on a 3rd line winger who is surely going to get overpaid.
So you make a play for Trocheck. And if you strike out, so be it.
That would be an awful day
The person doesn't stop existing. Especially in a locker room full of personalities that are always on the edge of teetering in the wrong direction. Now with Kane in the mix they may last another season before they start begging management to get rid of him like in Winnipeg and San Jose.
I honestly think he'll be fine in Edmonton, their locker room is pretty damn weak. He'll lighten it up and get along with most of the guys, but it'll also make it a party culture that never wins a thing.
We'll see. He's a trash human being who has shown no signs of changing. He was fine in the San Jose locker room until the big playoff runs stopped & the long time vets all left. If they let him near a leadership role Edmonton is done. Can't wait for them to sign Jack Campbell and realize he's a no. 2 that gets hot for a month then falls off. Trash GM and trash player deserve all the failure that's hopefully ahead of them.
This is the reverse. He was normal in San Jose when they had Thornton and Marleau leadership, but once they were gone Kane went bonkers.
