I know Zucc is most likely to play with Staal and Zucker, and that Fiala is most likely locked at 2nd-line RW, but i would be interested to see if his vision and playmaking skills could help Fiala get his confidence back.
I don't know, we have too many wingers and bottom 6ers. I'd like to get Fiala, Donato, Kunin as much top 6 and powerplay time as we can, but we have a big logjam.
I was told that this was a bad idea.
Yeah well in my scenario they earn it, in yours they're handed it because they're young.
What's the difference? In all honesty? It's a catch-22, how can they earn it if they are blocked by a veteran? Eriksson-Ek ended the season on a pretty solid high note after he replaced Koivu and had a brief but dominant run in the AHL (4 goals, 5 assists in 9 games), 5 goals in the new year...but he still played well. Donato ended the season on a high note as well. Fiala and Greenway are iffy, but eh...
It's possible for young players to show they deserve more minutes and opportunities without being handed the reins before they've earned it.
You have to keep them up there though, hot or cold. It's also hard to show it when Eric Fehr or JT Brown is your linemate.
I doubt it, but it seems less impossible than usual.Predictions on if there'll be an offer sheet signed today? We hear there will be every year, but there's more chatter than normal on it this year.
I seriously doubt Marner will be. Aho, Connor, and a few other names have been thrown out there.
It sounds like they've agreed to terms, can't sign until after 11am today local.did zuc actually sign with us or is this just a rumor?
Did you know Granlund has scored more than 15 goals twice in his career?thanks , but wow that's a lot of money to spend on a guy whose only scored 20G once. hey fenton are you feeling ok?
id personally rather switch koivu and staal on those line combinations considering fiala and koivu would probably mesh together better since one is trying to do a lot and the other would rather pass and just play defense.Parise - Staal - Fiala
Zucker - Koivu - Zuccarello
Greenway - Kunin - Donato
Foligno - Eriksson Ek - Hartman
thanks , but wow that's a lot of money to spend on a guy whose only scored 20G once. hey fenton are you feeling ok?
how much were we paying granny yet we had to move him for a guy who has less production? fenton's clueless & CL needs to sell the team...... Good thing hes a playmaker not a goal scorer......
I think the amount is fine, maybe a year too long, but with UFA signings, one or the other is going to be on the high side, i think it's a good move for the team overall.thanks , but wow that's a lot of money to spend on a guy whose only scored 20G once. hey fenton are you feeling ok?
