I think we all would but it's too much of a leap of faith. Plus, or seems like he's only stunts Erik Gustafsson's growth as a full timer.

That's an issue. That's why I think they move a defenseman before camp, or try to get one claimed on waivers before the season starts

Read is nothing like St Louis.

You forgot Laughton

Voraceks best PP trait is his shot. Its why they play him on the point and he scores a ridiculous number of goals from up there.

Marty St. Louis is a HOF candidate when he retires.

I like Matt Read's game a lot, but he ain't that yet.

Rather see Read with Couturier. Couturier's best offensive play cam when he was on a line with Read and Gagne last season.
- Jsaquella


Couturiers best offensive play was when he was with ANY top 6 winger. With Gagne, this team would have 3 lines of top 6 players.

Since we are throwing out power play units.

Giroux-Lecavalier-Simmonds
Timonen-Voracek
Hartnell-Schenn-

- dingo8urbaby


This one's awesome. If we get to roll out a seven-man power play, nobody in the league will be able to stop us!

Or Tye McGinn. Very possible Laughton goes to the OHL.

I didnt forget him, he is in juniors because at this point there is no room for him unless there is a trade.

I think Laughton is going to be too good to send down.

And they might be too close to the cap limit to keep him.

That shouldn't be an issue. Contract slots could be, though.

He is not on the point on the PP because of his shot. Dont try to argue this

Probably not. If they trade a player to clear cap, it's gonna be enough to put them like 3 mil under.

To free up a contract slot somebody else has to be willing to take the contract on.

Name one other forward in the league that's put on the point only because of his passing.

I've seen St Louis play the point.
