Thank you Elon!
exactly, and Columbus has so much young talent at defense as it is, not sure where Joker and Murphy would even fit in...
Panarin coming home?

I agree while Jackets fans dont because their D is set. And I kind of understand it while they underestimate Joker and our 1st.
Imo our 1st 2019 and 2020 are untradeable because they are likely top-10 picks both. And I mean undertradeable from our perspective.

Columbus makes that deal for the assets alone. Trade some pieces right away for a guy like Mark Stone that they can extend.

Yeah, sign him as a UFA or not at all. I want him after he plays his last year out anyway, want to see him hit another level this year before we give him whatever he wants.

Kahun hasn't even played a single game and you already want him off the team. Jesus some of you really have no patience whatsoever.
Honestly would like to see more of Sikura & Kahun before we think about shipping them out.
BobbyJet
watch the game, everything else is noise
I know nothing of this guy, Kahun, but some are quite high on him. At least one poster calling him a good replacement for Hino. I am skeptical ... we'll soon see for ourselves but I want to see him play before trading him off.

Kahun is, in my mind, more of an offensive player and with that totally possible lineup I made, there wasn't room for him unless he or a guy like Saad or Anisimov went to the 4th line. That's why I said trade him.
Sikura gets traded because we can't resign him after this season if we want to bring Panarin back and re-sign Schmaltz. Not unless you want to trade Saad or see if Panarin would be willing to sign despite trading away his Russian friend Anisimov.
So leave my imaginary, but completely realistic lineups alone you bullies!!!

Sikura is also absent from my lineup for the exact same reasons you’ve outlined in your post, not because I forgot he was on the team.

Murphy didn't impress many last year and we have a ton of young and talented RHD's that'll need spots in the next two years. He's expendable.

Hate to say it, but Crawford and his 6 mil off the books the season after that one will be a god send.

You will need to replace with at least a $4 million guy, and that’s if you want an average level starter.

Why do so many fans keep throwing Saad to first line????????
He is not a top 6 player, not anymore, especially if Hawks somehow get Panarin.
Saab should stay far away from top 6 this upcoming season.

Do you base this idea of top 6 solely on points?
Because nothing else would consider him not deserving of top 6 he still controlled play well despite lack of finishing.

????? Other one is one of the most annoying egoist POS's in the league (albeit, super talented super pest),
the other is future 50 goal, 100 point super star, super nice guy with zero ego,
why in the hell anyone would think that these two players had even one thousand
of a drop of similarity between them ?????
No offence, because we are have our opinions after all.
...maybe i misunderstood your post

He has lost some of his skating ability,foot speed - not that he has ever been a fast skater, more of a strong -
(maybe there's an injury we don't know about, what would need a surgical operation to fix)
Mentally, he was a total mess last season - that is not an easy problem to fix, as a matter of fact; really difficult task
(which obviously effects his game, i have no idea what his issues are)
---
What deserving a top 6 spot you talk about? - he has to show helllll of a lot more what he has mustered past 2 seasons
to deserve a top 6 role, maybe the potential to return to top 6 role is there but as of now....too big of a hole to dig out. - this is just my take of the man-
PS. this was said about him few years ago:
" A hard-working winger who protects the puck well. A strong skater with an excellent shot. Moves well and is a good finisher.
Plays hard and with a lot of strength. Reads the game well. (Matias Strozyk) "

Yes obviously.
Maybe a bad example because Beauchemin falls and the other D skates backwards, but Saad started basically standing.
One of my favourite goal ever.

I like that lineup a lot but one but:
No need to trade Kahun after this year because he is still on ELC. Trade him after that and build his value.
If Sikura get's traded, it's basically a situation that he has been one of the best rookies in this year. He either does it all and gets a big raise or he'll sign like Hino did. Obviously in your lineup he doesn't have a spot and at this point, rightfully so.
I'm sorry that I brought up Shalunov because now everyone is posting him in their lineups. He is still under contract next year BUT hopefully he makes the jump already. If he doesnt, slot Sikura there and Kahun in to 4th line. He can do it and that 4th line would be so freaking good. Defensively responsible but their ability to attack...
GIVE ME HUGHES!!!

If the plan is to bring back Panarin I’m giving Saad lots of minutes in our top six. Have him rebound with a 55ish point season and flip him for assets.

Ya, you must have. I never mentioned his ego or whether he’s a “super nice guy”, I’m not sure where you got that from.
I said this in the context of a small winger being able to hold his own on a top line that faces top forward competition, which is what Toews’ line does. Players need some toughness (not to be confused with dirty play) to play on the Toews line.
Marchand is a great example of someone who is small but successful in that role and provides great offense without getting pushed around and has grind and two-way ability.
I specially said the Marchand dirty asshole element is not what we want, but the other things Marchand does well on the ice help his team.
This has nothing to do with egoist vs super nice guy (odd to draw that comparison), it’s about a small guy either playing like his size or playing bigger than his size.
