Albatrosss Posted October 20, 2019 Posted October 20, 2019 We had no $ room for this? What do you need them for?
Albatrosss Posted October 20, 2019 Posted October 20, 2019 Instead of whom? There’s no room for another scrub
Keirik Posted October 20, 2019 Posted October 20, 2019 I said at least a few times here Boyle would have been perfect here. 4th line center with leadership, kills penalties, can still pot close to 10 goals , and would be very tradeable come deadline
Phil Posted October 21, 2019 Author Posted October 21, 2019 Haley or McKegg? Or Smith at forward considering the only reason he's in the lineup is the fact he kills penalties — something Boyle excels at.
Albatrosss Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 Plenty of scrubs already on this team, dont need another one. Plus Boyle is a center, he’d have to push either Andersson or Howden out. Knowing Quinn it would be Andersson sitting in the press box. Im not okay with that
Albatrosss Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 Or Smith at forward considering the only reason he's in the lineup is the fact he kills penalties — something Boyle excels at. We have plenty of penalty killers. I’d rather have howden and Andersson learning the PK than playing a soon to be a retiree
Phil Posted October 21, 2019 Author Posted October 21, 2019 Smith kills penalties as a defenseman Fair, but he plays ES at forward. He was even a third-liner for a night. Far from ideal.
josh Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 We have too many of these types of players. “Replacing” another player we already don’t need ... hence the there’s no need for him.
Pete Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 Or Smith at forward considering the only reason he's in the lineup is the fact he kills penalties ? something Boyle excels at.Smith is killing penalties on defense though, not forward. Edit: missed Funny reply...
Phil Posted October 21, 2019 Author Posted October 21, 2019 Entirely unserious counter: Boyle used to be a defenseman. ?\_(ツ)_/?
Keirik Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 I think the point was this. We are thin at center and we also currently have a shitty defenseman killing penalties at fwd. we also have two unwanted nhl players making the roster. Boyle would have slotted nicely as the 4c and pk guy. Kill two birds with one stone. Keep Anderson, Strome, and Howden as 2 and 3 c depending on who has earned it and leave them out of any 4th line roles because we literally would have had the poster boy 4th line center for cheap. Just a small opportunity missed that actually would have made sense and been a great fit.
Albatrosss Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 I think the opportunity was missed on purpose.
