Drew a Penalty Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Also can't have a defense with the average age of 22. That's why you have Brendan Smith come back as the 7D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Some of these guys are going to be packaged in a deal for a top flight center, whether it's Eichel or someone like that. Almost too many assets here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siddious Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Need Trouba even more. They'll have 4 Dmen Not a good enough reason to keep him considering his other faults Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew a Penalty Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 They're obviously not going to win a Cup with this D. Yet. If Jones and Lundkvist are as good as they're supposed to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keirik Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Im a bit confused. Is he coming here for this year and will play? How long did it take Kravtsov to crack this lineup after finishing his KHL season? Thought Quinn needs a lot of practices first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinn also salivates over a good defenseman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThirtyONE Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 If Jones and Lundkvist join the mix, Trouba is supremely valuable along with Smith (if resigned). It would be very disappointing if this team didn't make the playoffs next season, so a defense with an average age of 22 is actually not that exciting to me. That was exciting three years ago, but we're past the stage of just being young for the sake of it. The best teams have veteran players. I hope they can bring in some experienced players this summer to mix in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 We can dream Mac is a UFA after '22-'23....Mika becomes UFA after next season, and so does Strome. I can wait a year for Hockey Jesus! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I love Lundkvist, Jones and the rest of the guys, we gonna need some experience. Fox and Lindgren will be in year 3/4 and will already have a top top season in the bag, but we need more than that. Lindgren - Fox Miller - Lundkvist Jones - Trouba That lineup should make the playoffs and also be hella funny to watch. I cant wait to watch all those young guys play, learn and turn into good NHL players. If 1, 2 or even 3 of those guys busts we have like 4 other exciting D prospects. We deserve this after the last few years. Some of those D lines we’ve seen recently has been brutal.

RodrigueGabriel Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 NCAA champion box checked. On to bigger/better. It's what Morgan Barron wanted to do last year but couldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
