Possibly, but he doesn't have Doughty's all around game - Jsaquella
He is adding the offense now. But you are right, he will never be as deadly offensively as doughty.
For his contract and defensive play though, hes worth talking about. Hes having a norris nomination worthy season this year. |

He's a definite true #1 guy, I'll give you that. But he's a step down from "elite" in my opinion, and I really like him. |

Folin rates, at least from most of the college guys I follow, as a 4/5 guy. He's not going to replace Timonen. I doubt that Alt or Gostisbehere could, either. - Jsaquella
Totally agree, but I don't think we're gonna be able to replace Kimmo this offseason
I just don't think they should trade any of the forwards right now. Not saying that's forever. Just saying that all of them have earned the right to continue developing, IMO, and that opening holes up in the forward ranks...I just don't think it's worth it, right now...and I'm as aggressive as they come |

I'd give Ghost an outside shot. Folin and Alt would just provide great two way depth. |

At the risk of looking like a total homer, I cant name 5 other defenders id rather have over mcdonagh. |

I'm going to go out on a limb right now, and say none of those players can replace Timonen. It would be great to add one to a lower pair. But none of them are going to be able to take on Timonen's role and responsibilities. - MJL
Probably not right away, at least. And I'm okay with that. Like you said, if the right deal for a proven top-pair guy appears, then I'm all for it. But if it's a case of patience, I'm okay with that as well. |

Again: Totally understand, and agree. I think we're gonna have to ride out next season without a true Kimmo replacement

I agree. If Timonen decides to play another year, I'd sign him in a heartbeat. If not, I'd look at guys like Boyle or even MArkov on short term deals to bridge the gap, and work in the Alt/Gostisbehere/Morin guys at the bottom. |

doubt it will happen, but if Kimmo doesn't come back, I'd like to see Gus get a firm grip on a roster spot. assuming he's here. |
