Sometimes miracles
Justin Faulk is going to do that on a team with Dougie Hamilton on it? Because not as far as I can see.Without PP? He's on their top unit.
He'll still average over 20 minutes a game.

Liol Canes jump on that for a crappy defender ,Oilers don't touch thatWhy do the canes do that deal?
come on now.Do what?
They have two rights on the top unit. It's loaded because they have no offensive depth.
Last season Trevor Van Riemsdyk averaged 17:30 a night with zero PP time on the bottom pairing. Soft minutes. Justin Faulk averaged over 3:00 a night on the PP alone. Another minute on the PK. Neither of those are likely to change.come on now.
No the Caps run something like this:Isn't that how Washington runs it with Backstrom (left shot) and Carlson (right shot)? What's more important is that the one-timer option opposite McDavid in the other half-wall be a right shot (e.g., Ovechkin).
No the Caps run something like this:
.....................Kuzy(L).............................
.....................Oshie(R)............................
Ovie(R)...............................Backstrom(L)
....................Carlson(R).........................
Backstrom and Kuzy cycle the puck down low on the right side, and wait until a seam opens up to feed one of Ovie, Oshie or Carlson for a one timer. The Oil are running with McDavid in the spot that Ovie is in there, with four other lefties on the ice for one timers. If you put Bouchard up top he isn't an option for a one timer from a McDavid.
I thought Marody had a good camp and was surprised he was sent down so quickly. He certainly had a better camp than Aberg.
I think he must have been penciled in as a AHL guy and while he had a good camp he was not great. I know I was expecting at least a bit more from him.
He will be our #1 center in the AHL this year? Anyone have any thoughts on Marody this year? He is still relatively young and there really is no rush for him to jump into the lineup but do people see him as a potential NHL player for us eventually?
He's been more than what I expected so far. We have a good asset here.I thought Marody looked really good in the game I went to against Winnipeg. He’s a smart player. I’ve got him pegged as the top center in the AHL and likely playing a few games with the big club depending on injuries

Apparently I'm the only one that thinks Carolina does that deal 11 times out of 10.
I don't think Faulk is worth half that.
Benning is still young for a nhl defender and is a RFA. Caguillia, as much as I don't like him, is also a young cost controlled asset. Isn't Faulk a UFA soon? 2 years of Faulk, a one dimensional/poor defensive top 4 defender, for not one but two guys that hypothetically could be decent bargain guys for the next 10 years...
A second round pick can easily end up a McLeod level prospect in a draft. A third to me has far less value.
I honestly think Carolina would jump at a any 2 pieces of that combo...
But I obviously don't like Faulk that much and don't see him being a good fit in Edmonton long term. For a year with Sekera out and Bouchard and Bear still developing, sure. But after that what do you do even next year?
You give up depth, contract status, good picks, all for a guy who ultimately could make your team worse because of his lack of defensive ability? And then just try to flip him again if all goes well?
Carolina isn't having trouble moving him because they are asking for the moon. They are having trouble moving him because he is a complimentary piece at best with significant holes in his game.
well seeing as he has been incrementally better each and every game i dont think there is really anything to worry about.Hope he doesn't get claimed. Gonna need him when Koskinen inevitably ****s the bed.
I think that would still be fine, because the Oilers could get someone else to be the Vet on the farm.Montoya will get claimed. The Jets have Brossoit.

It will be Rangers' loss!Montoya used to be the Jets backup and they liked him so I wouldn’t be surprised.
What if Calgary claims him rather than relying on Rittich or Gillies?
