Commandant Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 A defenceman who has no trust of his coaches to play defence. He's being used almost exclusively in the offensive zone... But yeah, he's listed as a defenceman on the scoresheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDriveFor25 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Are we seriously comparing Sergachev on the Lightning with Drouin on this struggling team? Who cares.. move on. Sergs numbers wouldn't be nearly as good on this team, and Drouin's would be better on the Lightning. Apples and Oranges people 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who cares about his sheltered minutes as a 19 year old? If it was so easy to produce at that rate, other people would be doing it in his place. I don't get why Tampa Bay should even attempt to trust Sergachev in the defensive zone anyway when they have other solid defensive defensemen who are supposed to be defensively sound. You are staring at his weakness and ignoring his strengths. And no, you would not have 10 points playing as a defenseman with Stamkos and Kucherov.

BCHabnut Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I wouldn't put words in his mouth. He is stating facts. Serg may be amazing. And soon. But right now he is playing sheltered offense minutes with the two hottest players in the league. As I said, in 1985 if you played with gretzky and Coffey for all of your minutes, you would get a lot of points too. I think it's a little soon to call this a lost trade. It may be just that. But it will take more than a season to know the answer. Certainly not 20 games feeding pucks to two players on pace for 140 points each. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have been since before he was drafted, and remain high on him. I think he's a great prospect. Everything I've written on my site, even after the trade, puts him as a great prospect. Here is the issue though, some people here are quoting those stats to try and say Sergachev is already a better player than Drouin and the Habs have lost the trade. He is a great prospect. He is not better than Drouin right now, no matter what the points say, and they need to be taken in context of the sheltered minutes and who he is playing with. Some here refuse to do that. And, yes the 10 points was an exaggeration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 30 teams all missed kucherov before tampa thought he was worthy of their second pick. No one, not even tampa, knew how good kucherov was. If.tampa knew how good he was (one of the best scorers in all of hockey) they would have taken him in the first round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like there’s an undiscovered metric out there. A metric which could take a chronically underperforming yet historied franchise from the gutter to glory.

And, yes the 10 points was an exaggeration. I agree that it's silly to bring up this season's stats as a comparison between the two as well as to use them to state that Sergachev is already a better player than Drouin. At the same time, I do think it's completely rational to be upset (to only a certain extent) about the trade, knowing that we have a hole in the lineup as well as Sergachev demonstrating that he's capable and doing well. The only defense to this viewpoint seems to be that he wouldn't do as well on the Habs, as well that he is not trusted in the defensive zone. Drouin is also a great player. On Tampa Bay, the coaches have to shelter Sergachev's minutes. In Montreal, there's no one better to "shelter his minutes" than Shea Weber as a partner. It's completely possible that it wouldn't have worked, but I would have to assume it's possible that he would have gotten a similar look that Mete did on the top pairing, and that it may have worked. Considering we do have issues on the defensive end that people keep bringing up, I do think it's possible to say "hey, we should have kept that defenseman". The fact he does have 14 points at this stage in the game, as well as the fact that Jordie Benn is on our top pair, leads me to question anything we may have had available to us on the back end. Had we signed Markov, a completely independent variable in regards to Sergachev and Drouin, this would not have been a topic for myself.

Guest Stogey24 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Practice... Byron - Drouin - GalchenyukPacioretty - Danault - ShawHudon - Plekanec - DavidsonDeslauriers - de la Rose - Froese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link67 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 When does Hudon get a chance with Drouin and Galchenyuk. I don't mind Byron there mind you, but Hudon should be given a top 6 opportunity while we are still looking for answers imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
