top pair guys cost a lot

hamilton was what, 2 firsts and a second

second pair guy homonic was a first and 2 seconds to get him and a 4th

- homiedclown



I agree, that's why 2 scrubs for pommer and scandella makes him a 3rd pairing d

probably


problem is we have lots of 5-7th d men on this roster


and a second pair in risto

guhle and the 2018 first should fix it, but hearing peggy talk about lack of scoring goals makes me worried if we are not picking first overall

Well played. I'd say 5-6;on a serious playoff team?

He just doesn't wow me.
Teams value defenseman higher lately
Drouin for segachev and hall for larson

We get he him for ennis and foligno
And pommer salary dump.
Doesn't add up to a top pair guy.

- Boss34


Chad Ruhwedel, Frank Corrado, Trevor Van Reimsdyk, Adam Clendening, Andrew Campbell, Rob Scuderi...

These are all 5-6 defenders who won Stanley Cups in the past 5 years. The defense rests lol.

1 last counter point

Scandella is able to play and win a Cup as a 5 or 6. Trade him to a contender. He shouldn't be considered our #1.

He is an average nhl defenseman

- RhinoFan


Forsberg situation is completely different

He was young and unproven
More upside

Scandella played 7 years in the nhl
His potential is close to a max ceiling

Sure
1 or 2 on the bad teams
3 or 4 on average teams
5 or 6 on good teams

How many rookies score 80+ points over their first two seasons? How many of them stink?

He's playing poorly. Lacks effort atm. Don't confuse that with complete lack of skill.

- RhinoFan


Are you talking about Cody H.
Your description fits both to a tee. I suspect unless he rededicates himself to the game, he will have a flameout career as well.

Well - Zemgus did make a play (with Jack and Scandella assisting), as did Okposo (with Kane). On that play, ROR forced the turnover at center ice and passed to Kane. If the game was in Buffalo he would have gotten the secondary assist.

I didn't blame just Nolan. I said Kane should have buried his other breakaway chance, and Rienhart failed on a beauty opportunity. But I guess the high end guys need to do more and Nolan gets a pass for pumping a breakaway INTO HALAKS EFFING PADS.

I don’t hear any mention of Jack plastering the backboards from the middle of the circle with the goalie out of position.
Interesting how the God escapes any sort of blame while skating 20 minutes and a 4th liner is called out ... By the same standard then, perhaps we should be overjoyed that Nolan didn’t trip and fall.
