I agree gimmie 15-20 goals 20-25 assist, solid two way guy, hard to play against... drops em when required... you need those guys... and I agree gonna take some time we can only hope if he is going there that Adams doesnt trade him or lose him somehow...

About the same height, needs to fill out a bit more... But a Marcus Foligno with a smidge more scoring comes to mind on the top end.

Sometimes the tarnish fair or not makes me want to walk away.... for right or wrong...

I readily admit that this is strictly my hope with almost no foundation behind it you are 100% correct in that assumption ... now you have to give something to get so I am not sure that Utah didnt have some hope for that but clearly they were not at all convinced ...

I am not sure i have a feeling about Doan... I just do... If he is the anti Peterka with 70% of his numbers you have a guy that plays two ways produces maybe at a 20 goal 45pt pace has size and grit we need 4 more of that

Lol actually I am holding out hope he ends up being the best player in the deal literally for no other reason than I loved his Dad... unreasonable expectation for sure but one can hope he plays a similar game... and that... to your point would clearly help this team... but moreover his dad was a leader and we could use a leader with more alpha game upfront. I am hoping in two years time we look back at this trade and laugh like how could we have shed so much angst .... but we haven't done much of that lately so its a hope ...

I agree here... I think we need to start getting the best player in the trade... but maybe Kesslring was the best player for what we needed... roster construction etc... that's my hope

Ah yes the ol Rochembeau persuasion technique... works brilliantly

I ended up not saving money on my car insurance when i switched to Gieco.. and it turns out the 'Car Warranty' thing... was a scam LOL

Here is the chart...

Couple of honorable mentions... I personally hated trading away Zadorov... we could use his nasty Not signing Ullmark I also think was a major screw up Clearly the biggest after the Eichel mismanagement was not hiring a tenured experienced GM after Murray and Botterill both failed... instead we got a guy whose claim to fame was re doing the bathrooms in KBA... which is impossible to believe until you realized they hired a Soccer executive from England to coach the team... and of course listening to Phyliss Housely preach to the team about "getting to the tough places" was interesting as well...

Truer words LOL....

I am not sure about worst... I think we are closer to the over all worst defensive play to include defenseman and forwards playing two way... I clearly an no where near enamoured with our goaltending... but, I am interested to see if it overall looks better if we have more of a two way team...

Was listening to Brad May say the same thing... players would love to come here if ownership hadnt created the pit of Misery... Dilly Dilly

I worry about this too... but in the end... we are going to have to see if we play better defensively without him... however the Norris concept... I think we got raked if this guy cant stay healthy...
