Miles Wood? Guy hits but does he even have 5 goals this season? My guy is Palmieri, think he`d be the perfect fit and not cost the farm like Anderson would although his price tag likely a bit less with his whopping goal total of 1 this year and fans here complain about Ritchie who makes the minimum for the same pt totals, everything I have read and seen with Palmieri, he is consistently consistent in all 3 zones
If you look at Wood's last 40 games he isn't hitting. This could be management/coaching telling him to concentrate on scoring or he may have decided he can get by on skill alone. if he has decided he is a sniper I want nothing to do with him, go get the version of him that played his first 120+ games in the NHL. They are out there, you just have to commit to paying the price for them in a trade and by letting them play their game when they arrive.
So the middle six players right now are debrusk 7 goals, krejci 6 goals, Ritchie 2 goals, bjork 4 goals, coyle 6 goals, and heinen 5 goals. So right now the 2 players in the middle 6 have less than 5 goals and one is a misfit and the other hasn’t played all the games. With that Ritchie is the only player that needs to replaced and that middle 6 looks a lot better.
ah gotcha, I did misinterpret things (hardly a shock
), I like Anderson, not nearly as much as many here do as I feel that while his big hits and willingness to drop the mitts are a blast to watch, I also see him doing what he did last playoff series vs the Jackets far too often and that`s taking himself completely out of the play just to land that hit
So you want to replace someone who has 13 points for someone who has 4 points?
Yup glad you see the value in adding size and toughness and removing softness and are not just stat watching
.
Glad you want to make this team worse because of this stupid notion of size and toughness equals a better team.Yup glad you see the value in adding size and toughness and removing softness and are not just stat watching
Probably because it is so lacking. Think they beat Washington in a 7 game series when the Caps roll out Wilson, Gudas and Hathaway every night? Bruins got anybody like Ovie? How about St. Louis, that worked out well last year. Maybe an Anderson and Wood at forward and Miller on D and the Bruins win in 4 or 5 instead of getting hammered all series long by a bigger tougher team. Wanna go seven with the Flyers or Islanders as currently constructed with number of passive smurfs in the top 9? How about the Flames or Jets?
Well the caps have been bad in the playoffs even though they are big. Flyers and islanders don’t scare me at all. Second everyone complains about the secondary scoring but I keep seeing all these ideas to replace players with worse offensive players. Lastly just so you know I said size and toughness doesn’t mean they would be a good team. With that if the person has size and toughness to go along with skill I like them. That is something that both Anderson and wood do not offer at the moment.
The difference is that their big players were skilled. Wood doesn’t add that and Anderson has been awful this year.
I think the blues won because of the bs that was let go. Connolly does have skill to go with size.
They did win it but look at the past 10 years or so and you see a really bad playoff team. As for Anderson he adds nothing with the way he is playing this year. He would be a 4th liner.
