Listen, all I'm saying with Pominville is that I wouldn't be mad if he was inserted into this roster to fill a hole left by some major surgical changes that *could* happen.
For sure. It's why it made no sense to push him down the roster and stick Reinhart on Jack's wing. Pominville was not the ideal choice, but he was the only choice.
I also think Pominville is still better than Okposo. It's too bad we're stuck with Kyle's contract for 4 more years. One year of Pommers would be way better.
That's called slowing down. Slow.
And I don't agree with it. I think he was misused by not placing him on the 1st line where he could actually contribute.
This narrative about Pominville looking slow last year is one I'm tired of hearing because it's false. He should have played on Eichel's wing all season.
Bob Murray liking Risto is a large part of the reason I picked Anaheim. Risto is Murray's kind of player. You've asked previously why Anaheim would trade us Montour and then turn around and trade with us to get Risto, and to me it makes sense: he wants a player like Risto more than a Montour.
It wouldn't surprise me if he tried to get Risto in the Montour trade but Botterill nixed it for timing reasons. "Wait till summer Bob..."
I'll probably go the agent route once Geico inevitably raises my rates, but it'll take quite a few hikes to shake me loose. I'm going from paying $150/mo to $80/mo for a BETTER policy, so they've got a lot of ground to cover before I get annoyed lol
