Player Discussion Colin White - C/RW - PART 2

[PoutineSp00nZ]

The way white is playing right now he wouldn't look out of place as a 2nd line center.

Hopefully he keeps it up

 

[Wallet Inspector]

Even if White just becomes an above average 3C, he'll be worth his contract, more or less.

Lars Eller is someone I'd consider one of the best 3rd line centers in the league,and he makes 3.5 mil.

Well White is making 4.75M, there's quite a difference. That's way too much for any 3C, no matter how good. You wont be able to pay the rest of the legitimate top 6 forwards if you carry contracts like that, it's going to cost you someone better at the end of the day.

That's not entirely true.

With so much youth on the top 9, those entry-level contracts will balance a few overpayments.

I'll keep saying it, but it was an overpayment of White to get Chabot signed and enable the projected future run.

It was an overpayment of both to get fans to shut up

Well the 3rd line centre with the Islanders has an AAV of 5M and is making 7M this year.

While that's true, it doesn't contradict my statement above. Both can be accurate at the same time.

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Need more offensive output if we are to ever consider him a top-6 talent; right now he's a 3C - not bad, not great.
Same idea for a guy like Paul. Doesn't hurt to have these guys playing your bottom-6 instead of older (worse) veterans.

Another solid outing.

You can see how much better he is moving without the nagging groin injury and now he is a puck hound again.

With even a bit of luck he would have about 5 more points too.

 

[StutzlingAway]

He's been really good. I'm happy he's playing wel finally. Earn that contract Whitey!! Attaboy!!!

[Burrowsaurus]

Playing well...and without stone. So strange

 

[Alex1234]

Good chemistry with his new found Daddy
Hope he keeps it up

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

hmm good player plays better with other good players.

what a concept!!

 

[GCK]

So if he is centring our best line and making 4M, is he providing negative or positive value ? Anyone ?

Regardless, he's setting himself up nicely for a buyout this summer...

Colin White? His play has been very good for the last few weeks, if he maintains this level of play he is will be a very useful player.

Assuming he was just poking fun

 

[Hale The Villain]

He's playing very well and has been one of our best forwards all year. Looks like his scratching had nothing to do with his play, much like with Zub.

If he keeps it up he'll definitely avoid a buyout this summer.

If only we had an emoji that could relay to the reader that the comment was made using a sarcastic tone...

I understand the Zub scratch, imagine they wanted him to get more comfortable with the systems and all in practice before playing since we basically had no exhibition.

On the other hand with White it doesn't make any sense considering Anisimov really hasn't played well. I can even understand not handing a spot to White if the coach felt like he wasn't giving full effort or something like that but there's no way Anisimov or Stepan should've played before him.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Glad to see he is finding his game.

I had him as a potential elite 2nd line C a few years ago. Seems unlikely to happen but he has proven to be a dependable player, he doesn't make many mistakes.

I think with Zub we were just waiting for his vocabulary to hit that critical threshold of 30 words...

Colin White on the other hand has been good ever since he started playing with an autographed o'pee chee Mark Stone rookie card in his back pocket so that he can forever be on a line with Stone going forward (which btw was DJ Smith's idea so full credit to Smith for turning aound White's game and preventing a buyout)

For anyone that has been following this thread I didn't think an emoji was necessary. But I like what you did there.

Is that sarcasm? Emoji needed.

 

[OD99]

I am happy for White and the team as having him become a legit 2C is huge for us.

I am super excited for me though because with this long layoff I can't imagine how much better I will be in my mens league.

But I guess everyone else will be so much better from not playing too...now I am just confused.

Either way, scratch Logan Brown for a week then bring him up to dominate.
