Steep price, but Toews is legitimately good and was fantastic in the playoffs. He's like a mid-pairing version of Slavin, but I could see what Hench says as Makar's partner. Much, much prefer him to play with Cale than Graves as we all saw what happened when he got more minutes due to injuries. He has very good puck moving ability and plays both ends of the ice with good enough talent, IQ, and physicality. Has some occasional brain-fart moments and can be susceptible to physical players on the forecheque, but a lot to like here and doesn't get lost like Zadorov does.
Yup, this more than makes up for it. Eating my humble pie.Shame on those who prematurely doubted Sakic and his divine plan.
Yup. I was incredibly hesitant of the defense an hour ago, but now I love the flexibility and transition ability. For real good luck trying to keep us in our zone with this top 4.
I can see Joe paying Seattle to take someone else, like a 3rd round pick in 2022 for them to take Jost or JTC, or outright trading Graves for a 2nd/3rd and then protecting Bura.
