But the thought of having only one experienced NHL D-pair in Matheson-Savard doesn't appeal to me. Edmundson seems toe be a "glue/team guy" respected by all. During the developing years, it is hard to replace that. That is why, for me, I would only consider trading him for a high return Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't always choose who wants a player ... but ***IF*** it is possible, give preference to a team chasing a wild card spot and hope they fall short ... while only the 11 worst teams have a shot at #1, #16 still has a shot at #6.

GHT120 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Played in all 6 games: 3rd in TOI 5-on-5 second unit PP time ZERO goals 2 assists. Welcome to Jesperi Kotkaniemi's 2022-23 season thus far ... despite playing with the 'Canes leading (Svechnikov 7) and 3rd leading (Necas 3) goal scorers.

Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I guess nobody told the Chicago players that they were supposed to be terrible this year. Very nice to see them beat Florida. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurdBurglar Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Shane Wright is averaging just over 6 minutes TOI per game. Guess he wasn’t the slam dunk most people believed he was. It’s only early in his career yet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they’re giving him all the chances to become an offensive producer. And he’s obviously not hurting them. I always thought he was most likely to become Lars Eller and that prediction appears to be on track. 30 minutes ago, TurdBurglar said: Shane Wright is averaging just over 6 minutes TOI per game.

I don’t want him to be a bust, but I DO want him to be an inferior player to Slaf. I just have no stomach for the thought of the Habs having blown yet another top pick.

GHT120 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Phil Kessel now has the record for most consecutive games played ... but I refuse to call him the "Iron Man" ... in his career he has averaged one "hit" every 6.27 games (192 in 1212) ... in the last 8 seasons it is one hit every 7.88 games.

This is a kid who already lost a full year due to covid and keeping him up to be a scratch or play 6 minutes is dumb. Thats not on him but Ron Francis.

Commandant Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Ironman is playing consecutive games without being injured. He fits the criteria and has been a far better player at this end of his streak than either Yandle or Jarvis were. When Jarvis streak ended, he wasn't an NHL player anymore. He would soon find himself out of the league. Same with Yandle. Their streaks kinda went on cause they were forced to, when coaches wanted to make them healthy scratches. At least Kessel is still producing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Kessel is still producing. When Kessel was being criticized in Toronto for not being a “complete player” and having poor fitness and lousy practice habits, I remember Ray Ferraro arguing that Kessel is like an idiot savant: all he does is score and generate offence, without doing any of those other things. Leave him alone, was Ferraro’s point. I’ve always agreed with that. How a consistent offensive producer becomes defined as a “problem” in this league never ceases to amaze me. Meanwhile a rugged role player who can’t score his way out of a paper bag is never, ever criticized for being one-dimensional. It beats me.

We have too many wingers on this roster as is, and guys who deserve a shot before him like RHP, Ylonen, sitting in Laval. I don't see what he adds at this point to be honest. And who do you waive to make the room? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
