If only they'd remember that the big guy they draft also needs to be good at hockey.

NEXT TIME MAYBE.

Hopefully Kotkaniemi and Poehling can fix that

In a perfect world yes and I hope we do, but the way the game is going size isn't the number one attribute any more IMO.

Indeed but there's still a limit to the number of small players you can have on a lineup without getting pushed around by everyone.

Yeah well, pretty much the whole forward roster is smurfs except Armia, Deslaurier and DLR...

Danault is not small

Forget character and attitude for a minute...

I think the top attributes are:
1-hockey sense
2-skating
3-200 foot player
4-skill
5-size

Hopefully Kotkaniemi and Poehling can fix that

Don't get me wrong I agree, but come UFA time do you choose Marchand or Lucic?
(Just an example)

I'm just saying, if you have to choose do you take the size of Lucic or the skill of Marchand

I know what you meant.

But you had to use an example using two of the biggest Richards in the NHL did you?

This way by hating them both, you don't choose based on who you like.

You need big guys with skills to complement your small guys with skills.

I agree with you 100%.
But not easy to find the complete player.

Look at what? Juulsen on the right side like I been saying this whole time?

I know size isn't as important as it used to but the way the game is played you still need some size to be succesful. Can't ice a team of smurfs that lose every puck battle.

Here, let me try :

Tatar | Drouin | Armia

Domi | Danault | Gallagher

Hudon | Plek | Lehkonen

DLR | Peca | Deslauriers
- BashCH

Probably swap Tater with Domi.

Still a (frank)ing smallish group of forwards.

I think I figured out what the problem is...

You're stupid!!

When did you finally realise Juulsen could play on thr right?


Oh, I accidently flag your post..

I'd take the 2011 Lucic before the 2011 Marchand

Drouin and Domi are both passers, that's why I inserted Tatar in there since he's more of a goal scorer.

Tater is neither!
