McNabb is not a good player, and Kulikov, when used correctly, is a much better player than Pysyk.

 

Those trades aren't where GMTM has gotten an F.

McNabb was +11 and had over 200 hits last year, and plays on their top pair, but other than that...yeah.

 

Still waiting for any evidence Kulikov is any good at all. Maybe if he's ever healthy again?

Plus minus while playing with Doughty, and hits, are not measures that tell me anything about whether or not a defenseman is good at hockey. Doesn't he still get healthy-scratched with regularity?

 

He's not showing well right now, but the things that Florida fans told us were his strengths have not once been used because of what our defensemen are instructed to do with the puck.

and Quick was an MVP candidate who had one his best seasons. Was McNabbs +11 because of or in spite of that?

He played 81 games last year on their top pair. So I'm guessing that's a no on the healthy scratches.

 

We're not used to losing trades badly. So far that one is a disaster.

He's only a +11 playing with the Norris-winner? :P

 

He's nothing special at all, and I guess the healthy scratches stopped last year. His advanced stats look like those of a player protected situationally and with the best defenseman on the planet to his right. He wouldn't be our savior.

 

The trade is a loss if Fasching becomes a dud, but can't be judged at all until we see what Hudson does.

There's a reason LA isn't as good as it used to be, and a part of that reason is Brayden McNabb is getting big minutes.

Like the big minutes he's been getting when he was injured and out of the lineup the last 2 months?

 

He's a good player. I get that no one wants to think we screwed up but not having him here hurts right now. Our defense this year is 55 and 29 and a bunch of garbage.
