It's not like Bylsma is walking around saying Girgensons has played poorly this year either. He specifically mentioned how well he's played in that role. He also really likes him with Eichel. It's a tough spot, because he's done so well at both, but where is he more valuable in the overall lineup? I think that's what Bylsma needs to figure out.

I agree... Girgensons is a flex player... he is best with our shut down 3rd line group but perhaps with a few better guys on his wings than Gionta or Larsson and he could score more from that role.

The great thing is that Girgensons can go play on our 2nd line with Eichel and he scores 3 points in 5 games. He is a very skilled 2 way player that can play multiple roles both on the wing and at center.

Is he a long term 2nd liner.. probably not... but he is far better than being labeled as a "buried 3rd liner"

Different conversation. For this one I'll say I agree but I've reserved all judgement on things like this until next season.

For Girgensons, we're all overthinking something that will be fine. If he signs, he signs. If not, we'll trade him. It'll get sorted out by guys who make more than I do.

now the insults


nice


- homiedclown


That's not an insult... That is just him saying that this whole conversation was fabricated in your head. Which is just like where Ek gets his "rumors".

There is no fact to what you are saying.... You are saying your opinions and we are sharing ours. Nothing more... nothing less. We all have opinions.

That's not an insult. It's saying this isn't something that is pressing. We're talking as though we have until the 29th to get something done when we really have a lot more time than that. Not trying to insult you at all, we're having a good conversation.

that shows how clueless our coach is right now


people have been giving this guy a pass, not sure it's deserved

- homiedclown


Deslauriers had success on the top line early in the season. With the injuries they have, the options aren't really all that great in general. It's not like Eichel is sitting in the pressbox and D-Lo is getting top line minutes.

Not sure what I said, but I'm not piling anything on. I'm doing the same discussion you are, just the opposite side. I'm saying why we shouldn't trade him. You brought up Bylsma and I agreed. I disagreed on Girgensons and said we should wait until his RFA deal is up before making a decision on trading or paying big money, just like I would on most players.

IMO... to what someone takes offense tells more about that person's emotions on the day.

It was a hyperbole. Not meant as an insult. Apologies if it was taken that way.

Good days..... like when you told me you were going to my home town and wanted to meet up and fight me....


That victim portrayal was Oscar worthy.


Dude you shared your opinion... and multiple people disagreed. Its not ganging up.. its not piling on. You made stuff up to make an argument on why Girgensons should be traded.. and people disagreed with counterarguments. That is what makes HockeyBuzz HockeyBuzz.

No one today has thrown a single insult except this one above bud. Mirror time.

No interest in trading Girgensons. Bridge deal. Has shown enough AND has the versatility to merit being a piece in this top 9. Must draft in the top 3 again to solidify future top 6. Wait for a quality defenseman to fall in our lap (he will!) via trade or FA or miracle. Hope Guhle is a top 4 D by 2017. Enjoy the 82 game ride to the playoffs for the considerable future.

Thank you for your time

Between Guhle, McCabe, and Pysyk.. to go along with Risto... we will have a solid top 4 with a veteran or two added in.

I like Yandle or Demers in the UFA pool this year.

I don't pencil Guhle in until I see him in the pros. At least let me see him in the AHL. High hopes though

I agree and I wasn't saying that.. I was just saying between those 4 and then a vet or two in addition to Risto... a solid top 4 will shake out.
