I think we need defensive minded defensemen for the top line I would have like to see an experiment with Petterson and St Ivany because they’re both pretty defensive minded
eller is right they spent too long crying about guentzel and it cost them the playoffs
just like when hagelin was traded. they were called a 'fragile' locker room
if you're looking at the whole year, the one that was mediocre was Geno. Geno was barely noticeable offensively for a large portion of the year imo. Yeah, true Tanger may have not been at his best towards the end, but he had 5 less points than EK and gave up way less goals than EK. As I've said on here before, i watched EK make youth travel hockey level mistakes defensively, as a professional, even if you're one of the best offensive minded defensemen to ever play the game, its unacceptable at that level and cost. I'm not saying Tanger didn't have some bonehead moments of his own, but they were far fewer than EK. I wasn't a fan of the trade, but I was a fan of what we got rid of as a result. I restate something again, I'll take Shea over Graves any day of the week, I think St. Ivany, if we dont trade for someone else is a better fit with Tanger than POJ, by far.
Geno had garbage on his wings, he’s still great and can produce at an elite level
Malkin had a fine season. They'll never pair St Ivany with Letang - they don't like rightues/lefties on the same pair
💯💯💯💯
💯💯💯💯
Granlund ended up with more points in San Jose than EK did in Pittsburgh.. defensively never has been or ever will be good
Before he got injured, Graves looked good paired with St Ivany. Perhaps he can get him back to his NJ form.
I would like to see Kyle Dubas drop that $12MM+ in cap space on Elias Lindholm and Brady Skjei and then shuffle the deck from there to fill out the roster.
Petterson is probably going to get traded at next years deadline. HIs contract is up next year and he is most likely going to want to test the market. Hopefully, St Ivany continues to progress and is ready to take on the 2nd line role.
He'll have to play his off-hand side for that to happen, unless they move Karlsson.
@@chickenalaking1319 fair. I don't know if stay at home defensmen are more adaptive to switching sides. I would think it affects puck moving defensemen more.
At this point we should just hope St Ivany can hold down a 3rd pair role. Also, with Letang and EK on thebteam, there's no spot for St Ivany in the top 4
@@jsebby2284 Clearly thats what we want him to be, but Peterson is most likely out the door. Filling that position for cheap would be ideal although i dotn know how likely
@ChrisPerkinsPoker how is Pettersson most likely out the door? Plus St Ivany is a righty - even if Pettersson is gone he's not cracking the top 4 with Letang/EK on the team.
But why defend karlsson if he gave up goals to the Islanders and Detroit? He is horriable not worth 10mil he's gotta go and he is always in the box. Tanger played better then him.i had a feeling tanger was injured. And it's my opion don't care who says different
keep crying karlsson is a better player than letang hes not going anywhere
@bradleyvision7315 right. But who gave up 2 goals the islanders? Gave up goals 4 and 5 to Detroit? The empty net goal to Boston? And one against against the islanders final game? Karlsson
@@brandonn7770 who let the first shot he faced in against boston? jarry karlsson puts up points letang is just all around bad literally the definition of washed 65 isnt going anywhere he was their best defenseman all year can blame karlsson for jarry or ned being ablke to stop any pucks
Right. EK cost them some games by himself.
@bradleyvision7315 right karlsson is the best lol thats why if you can read he gives up goals he's old and slow
Should have traded Joseph for old jocks . He is the Token Penguin .
Youd like that wouldnt ya.
Why are you obsessed with old jocks?
@@jsebby2284 Wheres the emoji for mic drop!!!! He would LOVE to be left alone in a locker room full of jocks!
Here comes the excuses for Letang . Everytime he was on the ice he was scored against . He can't play Defense . Start drafting Defense forget Forwards .
Boooo
Death, taxes, some idiot bitching about Letang. And just completely making shit up lol
💯💯💯
@@jsebby2284 this guy always says a bunch of really stupid stuff and then hides and tries to pretend like the comments dont exist.
@Willjrockstar he sure does lol. It's amazing how many people out there are like that. Like their vote counts as much as ours. Crazy to think about haha
