But those guys have shown they can be successful
It’s totally different

I’ve obviously never liked Tage,
and he hasn’t played well
Yet i still said to try him with Jack
I think that’s saying quite a bit
If it’s not enough for you, idk what to say
It’s the best i got

Kyle Okposo has been previously successful.

Connor Sheary has been previously successful.

How? Because they were put with talented players like Crosby and JT.

In all seriousness, how many wingers in this league can produce with Sobotka or Larsson as their center? 10?

I also don’t think Sobotka should be at center anymore
Another disappointing addition
(Please don’t waste all out time trying to defend him too)
Should be moved to the wing,
hopefully on line4

Try Sam or E Rod (even though he hasn’t “earned” it either) at Center

I’d be totally ok with Sheary & Okposo with Jack and moving down Skinner & Reinhart

It would likely get 2 lines scoring at least

This is my thing, what exactly were you expecting from him? He’s always been a 3rd/4th line checker, not a scorer. How can he be disappointing? He’s exaclty what he’s always been.

E Rod-Mitts-Pommer
Sobatka-Larsson-Girgs

I think it’s worth a try
Can always switch it back

He had 31pts last year
He’s on pace for 12 this year

Freaking come on dude
How can u even say this stuff with a straight face?

I don’t even need Tage with Jack.

My only point was that I don’t think anyone can earn it in our bottom 9.

It’s not that they all suck, it’s just a bad mix.

I’m ok having one of Sobotka or Larsson in the lineup, not both.

I’m ok with one of Pominville or Okposo, not both.

I’m ok with Girgensons or E-rod, not both.

So then u agree that bringing in Berglund & Sobotka was dumb
Why the f#ck did u waste time arguing with me when i kept saying they were a bad fit?!

Jesus man, he played 17 minutes a game last year and his most common linemates were Stastny, Jaskin and Alex Steen. It takes 2 minutes of research to figure out why he’s scoring a lot less.

Quality of teammates is the single biggest contributor to production

How do you get that from my post?

I expected Larsson to be waived before the season started.

Berglund is in the same grouping as Pommer & Okposo
All 3 are a bad fit

Sobotka is in the same group with our other checking line guys
He was also redundant & not “needed”

Seemingly we were forced to take though guys bc of the salary situation
But it still remains they were unneeded & a bad fit- and underperformed

It’s the same argument u use for ROR here
We didn’t have a Steen or Stastny for Sobotka to play with
And putting him at Center instead of on the wing has something to do with it as well

Bad fit, plain & simple

If he isn’t gonna score at all,
just stop wasting time thinking it’ll change & move him to LW4
Then we won’t mind as much that he isn’t producing

You keep changing up your story on these guys.

If they were “cap dumps” like you have repeatedly called them, how can they be disappointing to you? Cap dumps shouldn’t have expectations of being 2nd line centers, or good players in general.

And seriously who gives a poop about Berglund anymore. We got out of his contract and he’s no longer here. Isn’t that a win considering you think he’s a “cap dump” ?

What?

LOL... he was the Sam Reinhart of his time.... (he's too slow).

I never liked him, no denying he had a knack for scoring goals though.
