You offered a fringe NHL d man for a 30 goal scorer.

So it's like the Taylor Hall/Adam Larsson trade...?

St. Louis actually benefitted greatly from the coaching change.

They were 25th in Xgf% during Yeo this year which was 25th

From November 21st until the years end they were #1 in Xgf%

If there's anything I know about 59 year old's, it's that they're only good for talking in circles and poopting themselves.

Kruger must be in at least stage 5 of Alzheimer's because no one wants to coach this team. I've learned that people like money, just not Buffalo-money.

No one wants to live in this city with it's stinky undertones, bad acne, mud-huts(that's racist, dammit), poopty food, awful people with wretched farts, and bingo nights.

How do we even field a team every year? Boggles the mind. They must be truly desperate.

When you talk about the city with its people like you did above, virtually every city has the same. If you want to talk trash about the franchise, I agree with you basing on its performance the last few years.

"this is not a rebuild. This team is ready to go to a different level of competitiveness, and we need to get into that mode really quickly."

Im not saying they didn't benefit, just not nearly to the degree that people think. Berube was straight awful in his last coaching gig.

Yea... a fringe NHL d man that could easily be argued as the best DMan that Detroit would have on their roster.

I think you need to do more homework on Jake McCabe bud.

What is so awesome about a soon to be 26 year old d man with meh stats and on ice metrics?

Honestly curious why you think highly of him?

I don't think he's that far off. Hronek is definitely better. The rest? combo of too old and overrated.

Dekeyser sucks but I don't see anything that says McCabe is even better than him.

My point exactly... if he can even be argued that he'd be on their top pairing... Don't think he should talk about him being a fringe anything. Lol.

Don't you talk up your tradeable players too?

He's a fan favorite, for good reason, even if he's just an average player.

DET is all fringe D. I never said they were good. This is semantics. Either way you slice it nowhere near the value of AA.
