Simmer to Dallas for Gurianov, Hintz, and a pick! Make it happen!upcoming trade
does mckenna get waived now? I think this puts us above 23 limit unless him on conditioning removes him from limit
Simmer to Dallas for Gurianov, Hintz, and a pick! Make it happen!
Wait wait wait wait wait
Whoa
Really?
McKenna is still on this team?
I agree. What I saw of Misha is that he is not fast enough skating wise and/or can’t think fast enough in the NHL. In the 5 games I saw of Bailey: fast, big, and can be nasty when things demand it. I do like the line of Raffl, Varone and Bailey. With Myers/Gudas and Morin as their D pair.Vorobyev should be the one to go down. They don't want to play him. Use someone else to replace Varone.
Yup. Ideally, a 4th line should be big, fast, & strong. Hopefully able to pin the opponent in their own end for a bit.I agree.

He either doesn't think it quick enough or they're not happy with his work ethic and I'm inclined to think it's the latter. Gordon has been clear with the players on the 4th line what he's looking for to give them more ice time, and Vorobyev apparently hasn't delivered.I agree.

I think we all can agree that as of today, Vorobyev's NHL potential remains untapped. Its tappability is the question.I don’t think Varone or Vorobyev are contributing one more then another. Varone seems more confident and a bigger goal scoring threat, but voro seems more crafty and may have a untapped potential.
Every year everyone agrees that you have to give young players plenty of time and plenty of patience to work through their issues, find their feet, etc. And every year that understanding gets dropped at the first sign of trouble and people make their judgments. Even this year, in the middle of total coaching and system chaos and with an average of seven minutes a game. ****ing ridiculous.
Yup, the lesson doesn't get learned. It's literally every year, only change is which player.Every year everyone agrees that you have to give young players plenty of time and plenty of patience to work through their issues, find their feet, etc. And every year that understanding gets dropped at the first sign of trouble and people make their judgments.

Yes no pulse.Yup. Ideally, a 4th line should be big, fast, & strong. Hopefully able to pin the opponent in their own end for a bit.
Vorobyev is slow, weak, & unenergetic.
Exactly. Expecting a Russian kid who plays 7 mins a night to be perfect is crazy. He has the skill and smarts to be a good NHLer. Let him work through itEvery year everyone agrees that you have to give young players plenty of time and plenty of patience to work through their issues, find their feet, etc. And every year that understanding gets dropped at the first sign of trouble and people make their judgments.

A couple weeks ago Patrick was bad at everything and a bust.
The first few months of the season Sanheim was an overrated bust.
When Lindblom was on the 4th line he was a bust.
Last year before TK went to the top line he was a bust.
The first two months of his rookie year, Provorov was a bust.
It'll never stop.
He doesn’t seem to translate. Might thrive in Europe.
I'll also add that, even though I've been pretty vocal about being lower on Vorobyev than most of this board, I have no issue sticking up for him and saying that his time in the NHL so far has been 100% useless in judging him because NOBODY would be able to do anything significant with that little total icetime, those few opportunities, and that little linemate help. He's averaging 7 minutes per game with Varone and Raffl... what do people expect to happen? Who would do well in that situation?
So if anyone is turning on him based on his recent play, they're doing exactly the kind of thing we (rightfully) mock.
