3putt Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Apparently DB and Girgs had a heart to heart. Bylsma has said expect to see primary pairs, I.e. Eichel/Kane and ROR/Ennis. But Girgs has no pair, no defined role. I think he is a hell of lot more valuable long term than Ennis. I also think he will be the better player. So what becomes of Zemgus? I am curious to hear others thoughts. Perhaps I am overvaluing him and he is fodder for GMTM to move. After all he isn't one of Murray's guys.

inkman Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 I like Gus but his legend far out grew his performance. He's a nice player. On a good team he anchors the 3rd line in a shutdown role. As for what DB is doing wit him,god only knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kr632 Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 I don't watch as many games as I should and am fairly new to paying attention to hockey with an actual interest. I know girgs is a high energy give it everything he has every shift kind of guy run threw a brick wall if you ask him to but what is his ceiling? Is he gonna score a lot of goals? I saw above that a third line shut down role is best for him. Will he develop into more or is he what he is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Murray trades Girgs it will only expedite the time frame in which we try to run him out of town. I have felt for awhile Murray has one more big move in him. He doesn't have a ton of chips left. Unfortunately Girgs is one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have felt for awhile Murray has one more big move in him. He doesn't have a ton of chips left. Unfortunately Girgs is one of them. Wait, what? If Murray trades Girgs, there will be no need to run him out of town, he will already be gone And Girgs isn't going anywhere IMO. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure he was on the "you can ###### off with that" list when we traded for Kane, and we all know about Murray's love for Evander Edited October 17, 2015 by WildCard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 I think Girgs role is exactly what it has been: top six minutes adding grit to an offensive pair and/or anchoring a shutdown line, as situations and opponents dictate, wing or centre - basically an edgy jack of all trades and a plug-and-play coach's dream. I think we need to get used to the fact that Bylsma is not going to follow a conventional four-line depth chart. Apparently Zemgus will need some time to get used to it too.

I think we need to get used to the fact that Bylsma is not going to follow a conventional four-line depth chart. Apparently Zemgus will need some time to get used to it too. We are 4 games in , and Bylsma uses 3 lines alot, and he mixes them during games as he sees fit. Girgensons and his talent level belongs on 3C spot, but he'll get moved around just like any other player on the roster to win a game. If Murray trades Girgs it will only expedite the time frame in which we try to run him out of town. I have felt for awhile Murray has one more big move in him. He doesn't have a ton of chips left.

So far his moves have been basically non-controversial - trading Girgs would not sit well with the fans who have so far given Murray a free pass on every move he has made.

LastPommerFan Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 That is exactly what I foresee I think the guy who fills that role on a champion is more than a "nice player". He's gotta be the third best center on the team. Super Bonus Points if he can slide up in the event of an injury to ROR or Jack. I'd also like to point out that these were his first regular season games since his injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampD Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 He looked really good on the PK against Florida. That's gotta have some value. His skating was unbelievable and I couldn't take my eyes off of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weave Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Interesting ...not Kopitar? Kopitar has all star talent. I don't see Gus getting there. With Samson and The Savior in the lineup I expect Gus will develop into one of the best 3rd line centers in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3putt Posted October 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 That is exactly what I foreseeDo you see Ennis in a top 6 role on that same championship team? I am sincere in my inquiry as I am trying to wipe the fog of Eichelmania away and evaluate the talent level and who GMTM and DB see as the cornerstones.
