Ansar Khan: Svechnikov won't receive QO, will become UFA

[Oddbob]

Oh no, we have lost another Mursak.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

He was slow to begin with and he has absolutely no stamina. Holland and his staff just didn't put enough emphasis on skating despite picking 2 of the fastest players in the league.

Most of Stevie's picks are above average skaters, aside from later round Draper picks.

I like how they are picking different guys lmfao at that stretch...

 

[Air Budd Dwyer]

I actualy have no busines to the male atractivnes unlike some on this thread

Ok, that doesn’t make you better than us, sir. If the thought of the more aesthetically pleasant Svechnikov brother doesn’t make your loins pulsate with nervous anticipation, then I see no reason to continue this thread.

100% feels like the right move. I wish him well.

I wonder if Ken Holland would be doing these decisions, how many would cry in here "how he is losing talented young players for nothing!"!

Just like we lost Frk, Nestrasil and Pulkkinen. How devastating.

The big difference is how many of Holland's best draft picks busted. But I get that if it were up to you that Holland would still be our GM. I am so very happy we have moved on. Your mileage may vary.

How long are you going to keep up this persecution complex regarding Holland? He's been gone what, two years now?

Here's the link to the Oilers forum if you'd like to go there to discuss your boy and his accomplishments like acquiring Duncan Keith, Mike Smith, and Cody Ceci.

Edmonton Oilers

Call me crazy but in the Red Wings forum, I prefer to talk about the Red Wings.

 

[Gniwder]

I'm still waiting for him to fight Ovechkin.....

 

[MBH]

f*** all yall.
I'm still carrying the torch.

 

[Squirrel in the Hole]

That's 3 first round picks Detroit has moved on from this year.

And 3 that we picked up over the last two years: Fabbri, Vrana and Gagner. Then, there's Perlini, which counts as a pick up and a move on.

Sometimes, first rounders don't pan out.

Vlad, Ryan, Staal, and Leddy were also first rounders if you're gonna count veterans.

 

[Killerjas]

Will probably go to Europe, I dont see any team going for him except for Carolina because of the "brother connection".

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

KHL bound, very doubtful he'll ever get an NHL contract.

 

[Henkka]

Estimated career earnings:

1.997M

Not bad. More than I'm gonna get in my life.

 

[Henkka]

Will go to Jets camp with PTO.

They once were a deadly duo with Pierre-Luc Dubois...

Other than a few people, I don't recall much uproar when those guys were let go.

 

[MBH]

Svech signs with the Moose. Has a PTO with the Jets

Good luck to him. I do hope it works out for him there. It just wasn't in the cards in Detroit because he couldn't consistently stay healthy.

He's not a bad player or a bad guy... he just had rotten luck.

 

[Nut Upstrom]

Glad he landed in Winnipeg. I hope he finds his game and does well with the Jets.

 

[Henkka]

Connor - Scheifele - Wheeler
Harkins - Stastny - Ehlers
Copp - Dubois - Svechnikov
Vesalainen - Lowry - Nash

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Another one of Holland's gems.

 

[Revenge of Gru]

Another one of Holland's gems.

Oh please. The guy tore his ACL. Yzerman took Brett Connoly 3rd overall. Took Koekkoek 10th. Picks bust all the time. Let me know when Yzerman has anywhere near the success Holland has had as a GM. It will never happen.

Pre salary cap comparison or post?

It was 6th overall. 3rd in 2010 was a far worse pick in Gudbranson.. Semantics aside, I don't understand why anyone would shit on a high teens pick that just didn't pan out when he was viewed as a very solid pick at the time. The injuries just boned him hard.
