If you don't have a franchise center, it's the sexiest acquisition. When you actually have forward star power, you realize you need a franchise D man to get to the next level. Enjoy your short lived stiffy, Van Fan.
And prove my point in the meantime...we'll draft a johansen and trade him to nashville for the next seth jones
edit: after regime change otherwise we might be taking a bogosian and sbisa back
And prove my point in the meantime...
Yeah who cares. That doesn't address the point I made. Keep up.you need a 1C and a 1D to win a cup yes
sabres haven't done that and has a long way to go still. Canucks also haven't had sub 30 wins like the sabres did in b2b years. That doesn't help but with Benning's help and 20m spent on bottom 6 forwards we are trying our best

Is that all you got? Ok you win, if you have 2 generational centers you may get to the next level without a top D man...in that case Van is at least two players behind. Put that to bed for a reason to not acquire a top D man.who was the 1D of the 2017 penguins
So wouldn't that tell you that all of the rest have 1C and 1D...do I need to name every other playoff team in the last ten years to prove it, because you named two. Who's extracting enemas here. It's coming. You'll figure it out eventually that you need defense to win.shouldn't you be arriving to the conclusion that there's no magical formula and that you probably just need a **** ton of good players and some solid luck to win a cup
i've yet to see any actual significant evidence that an elite 1d holds more value than an elite 1c and people pull statements like that out of their ass way too often
the new jersey devils are the only team in recent memory (if you can even say that) that has won without an elite level 1c and the penguins are probably the only one that has won without an elite level 1d, but both obviously had a **** ton of talent elsewhere
Well you tried to apply it vice versa and I disproved your theory.can't the exact same point be applied vise versa
E: Are you suggesting that winning isn't the end game? If the poll was who is more fun to watch?, I might not argue, but I could. If winning is important, I'm not sure what your point isanyone with a brain knows you need defence to win games lmao
dumb argument
