He was on the fourth line with Roslovic
He's scoring at a much better rate than Wheeler at ES. He's just not getting PP1 points. And if you think there's been anything wrong with his game in the last while you need to stop drinking when ya watch the games
Would be nice if Ehlers and Laine were our best players. Let young core rise now kinda thing. But ya agree with your post no one has been good why pick on Ehlers sentiment is right.
Maybe T.O. can and we "straight-up/ 1-for-1" offer Ehlers for William Nylander? Any thoughts out there?
Almost equivalent to what T.O. is getting out of WNylander! WN=0-pts for 0-$pay/ NE=minimal pts for $$$$Lots of pay! Actually T.O. is fairing better, pure value-wise. Yikes!! Why is T.O. even being mentioned? Sorry!!!
It is never best if your 2 top players are wingers, no matter how good they are. Ideally you have a Defenseman and Center and I think we have that covered. Both Ehlers and Laine will be fine IMO. The vast majority of offensive players are streaky. Laine will have dips and go on long runs of scoring and Ehlers has the speed that can change the flow of the game. As they approach their primes Laine will have multiple 50+ goal seasons and Ehlers will likely spend his career as a 70-80 point player that can push the play forward like few others. At some point he will start thinking as fast as his feet move and he will become a force. These kids will be okay, all we need is a little patience. At the same age as Laine Scheifele was a 34 point rookie, and in Ehlers case at the same age Scheifele was on the verge of his breakout season after a very slow start.
Really its the best if your best player is your goalie as a Venzina winning goalie. After all, lots of teams that weren't good made it really far with just amazing goaltending. So who is that D-man who is our top player are we referring to Buff, Trouba or Morrissey. Either way, Maurice should be transitioning the team to Mo's if he is willing to commit long term and be giving him 1st powerplay minutes. After all, how many more years can Buff give us at an All-star level?
Yes, because Scheifele and Wheeler aren't getting stuck in their own zone and they are generating plenty of offense. Once Scheifele and Wheeler find their hands again that line is going to start scoring a bunch, like they have in the past.
Comparing Ehlers play to Tanev's is exactly where you're going wrong Sip.
That won't hold, points haven't been there but he's been very good lately.
Yep he looks like a 60 point guy as is Little. Laine and Connor are looking like 80 + point guys and we live in a cap world.
