Speculation: Roster Improvements - Part II

[Werewolf]

Killer has found a home on Stamko's LW tbh. I am impressed and they get better with each passing game. There is nothing wrong with his game. The only thing that I could probably point to is his demeanor, his perceived "softness" when it comes to fighting, and his very punchable face. Generally you'd want to see that competitive guy, a man's man, a feisty competitor...imagine Conacher or Johnson's drive and feistyness in Killorn's body. We'd have a PF we could be proud of.

Instead we have a great skilled guy...who is just not that likeable. Can't seem to fully root for him the way I can with Palat/Callahan/Paquette. He is just...in a very disapointing way very Purcell. Skill...Check. Big body...check. Two way game...check. Defensively responsible...check. Chemistry with Stammer...check. I want to slap him around and get some angry emotion out of him...CHECK!

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Absolutely. He'd be a great addition to the bottom-six. As a Morrow replacement, he'd be phenomenal, and he can slot higher at times, although I wouldn't really call him a tweener.

One thing to remember though is we Adam Erne who's going to be vying for a similar role. I think odds are he's going to end up in Syracuse, but when we traded Connolly, it seemed to open up an opportunity for Erne to get a legit shot next season.

I think Connolly's spot is for Namestnikov... unless we get another spot for Erne, I don't see him playing with the Bolts next year

So.... he needs to be an *******

id do komy for barbs plus but otherwise give erne his shot and no wouldnt move killer too much worth up and down lines over say a komarov honestly at this point.

I really think erne is ready but he has to prove it

 

[Volodya Krutov]

Stumbled on this gem, somewhere

Trade 1 - Hall to TB for johnny Drouin, Andrei Vasilevskiy, 2017 first round pick and Ondrej Palat

I don't know about the other trades proposed, I had to stop reading after this.

None of them can spell.

Hall for Vasya, Drouin, Palat and a 1st?

Sure, and then the Pens will trade us Malkin, Crosby and Letang for Paquette and a 3rd.

 

[Sky04]

Wouldn't take Hall for Vasilevskiy or Palat individually

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Had to find where that came from and found it. To be fair the other oil fans rip it apart saying the OP of that trade is way way off.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

I can't believe there are people out there who think Tampa would trade our top 4 prospects (Vasilevskiy, DeAngelo, Namestnikov Koekkoek) plus two 1st rounders for McDavid.

If I was Tampa I would do it for sure. For example, if I want to keep Stamkos as my top center, I could trade McDavid for Josi or Giordano plus. If I keep McDavid, I can trade Stamkos for even more.

They are already very young and mcdavid stamkos is well ridiculous along with those other 3 young guys on the NHL team why wouldn't they do it?

That Kutcherov thread is pretty good for a chuckle too.

That thread is still going? How delusional are these people?!

 

[Hoek]

Maybe if Rick Dudley was still our GM. Classic case of HF groupthink valuing prospects more than what a team already has. Why go backwards and have to watch kids develop again?
