DarthEbriate Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 Musing: Does this open the door to re-sign Pysyk as #7 for veteran/locker room presence and forward flexibility, or do folks want Fitz as the #7 for his attitude (or Fitz to ROC to be a top call-up)? Or go get another UFA D? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 Trouble staying healthy, or never good enough to play a regular top 6 role? At the NHL level prior to last season when he played 77 games... 18-19 41GP 19-20 51GP 20-21 42GP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apuszczalowski Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 Another Meh signing Wasn't good enough for the Leafs, but if we are honest, that might be a good thing because what do they know about defence (and goaltending?) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmel Corn Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 Hoping this guy can show some value on the penalty kills. I don't know him well, but wondering if he could be more effective than Joki on the PK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of note, Toronto made massive strides defensively the past two seasons. They've been top half of the league in Goals Against the past 2 years.

Not bad atoll. 35 minutes ago, Buffalonill said: Never heard of him For a guy who's as judgmental about players as you are, I'd think you'd get out more. When we played the Laffs last year, he was the only Dman that stuck out to me in a defensive sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAF Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 He played with Rielly in Toronto, maybe will play with Power in Buffalo? From the few games we saw with Power, he likes to jump up into the play, much like Rielly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthEbriate Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 I like saying Power-Joker. But Power-Lyub has its merits. But what about... unLyubushkinited Power!!!!!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or go get another UFA D? Possibly, but Fitz is making this team. He adds a hard charging attitude this team needs. Right now we have 4 LHDs and 3 RHD, but Dahlin is playing on the right. Almost seems more likely that he get a defensively responsible LHD for depth or gives Pilut a chance to make the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 Thought he had a very strong series vs the Lighting in the playoffs. Hadn’t seen much of him before then, but I liked what I saw against Tampa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
