4th line C .. 7/8 mins a night 5 on 5 + PP? I dunno but I'm willing to see what that looks like for 1.5M (prorated). Assuming he's in stupid good shape and willing to do a 5 game conditioning stint with the Marlies.
pass...
He's not retired he's the 3rd top scorer in the KHL currently! He's also on the exact same pace of 3 years ago when he first left for SKA so has not really regressed.. Was still a top player when he last played for Detroit the year before.People are complaining about Marleau, and people think it's a good idea to add a retired hockey player. Lol
Sign me up for the Magic Man and Magic Mitch! ... trade Willy for D
the comparison was how long it took Willy to get back in form. I think that's a bad comparable as he obviously didn't come back ready
Have people not watched any of Datsyuks games?
His legs are still there, and his hands are still there.
He still turns on a dime, and thinks the game well.
I'd love to see him with the Leafs I'd we move Marleau.
His numbers aren't dominant point wise in the KHL this year, so he may be relatively affordable.
Hyman Matthess Nylander
Johnsson Tavares Marner
Datsyuk Kadri Kapanen
That's a sick top 9, and a 3rd line that can legit shut teams down.
I walked by nylander at Yonge* station the day of his press conference. He was definitely in shape/form
He was so obviously not in game form. You can't see a mans cardio abilitiesI walked by nylander at Yonge* station the day of his press conference. He was definitely in shape/form
And why did he miss almost half the season? His choice. And he claimed to be training the whole time too. I don't think Dats is a good idea either. But I'm willing to bet he'd come back ready to go unlike Willy is what I'm saying.He didn't come back ready because he missed almost half the season. Datsyuk is going to adjust even worse. I love Datsyuk but the last thing we need is 40 year old Datsyuk, he should be no where near this team. I know the hate on for Nylander is strong here but jesus christ some of you guys are ridiculous.
