[DFC]

Prime McDonagh or Palat

 

[JFleegs]

Current form: Carter V, but my heart says Yanni

 

[LightningStrikes]

I’d go with CV and his 42 goals!

Killorn being my second pick after his career year last season and with his versatility.

 

[StammerHammer]

JAM. He knows how to win a cup along with his offense.

But why can’t I pick Marty?

 

[Sky04]

JT Miller is easily the best player among these options so him.

I thought sticking to current players made the most sense because otherwise MSL would be too obvious.

 

[RussianGuyovich]

CV is the natural choice since we could use some more scoring threats in the lineup. JAM also acceptable.

ABB save us, you’re our only hope!

not being able to read would probably be, like, the best way to post here.

give me 2016-17 Drouin with Cirelli and Stamkos on the 2nd line

A little surprising Miller only getting two votes considering he's the best player on the list, I guess it makes sense people would be sore, he teased superstar talent without ever rounding out and developing the consistency he now has in Vacouver.

My second vote would go to Gourde, miss his infectious pitbull attitude. You can't measure that in points though

Cooper played him on the 3rd/4th line for half a year...

He played his best hockey with Tampa when he came here in 2018 on a line with Kuch and Stamkos and was a point per game. What does Cooper do? Play him with Paquette!

 

[LTIR Trickery]

f*** off, no Freddy Modin? I don't want it.

Vancouver thanks you for him

It was because he was a pain in the ass to deal with from all accounts i've received. He didn't get a ton of top line time because it sounded like he couldn't follow basic instructions and be relied upon in a few different situations, regardless of how good his shot was.

I am so happy for Miller that he has come into his own and reached the true extent of his potential in Vancouver. But he was not ready to be that player here nor was he ever going to be. The NYR gave him to us for basically free and when we needed him most he was doing dumb shit like starting fights during breakaway chances. He became what he is because us trading him became the wake up call he needed. I have to imagine maybe he'd be more effective with us now than his first tenure

Some guys just need a swift kick in the ass. Being traded to Tampa wasn't it for him because he was going from an impending rebuild to another contender. Being traded from Tampa? Yup. That did it

Dunno though, based on some reports i've seen out of Vancouver it hasn't been much different...

If there's any truth to that then it's a shame. He's really stood out these last few years
