I don't expect to be alive in 2065

Well me neither since I’ll be 86.


And if I am, I probably won’t know who I am.

You're out of your mind. Rodrigues had 4 power play points and 25 even strength/short handed points this year. Neither are goal scorers, but Rodrigues can make a pass. Zemgus has hands of stone and is lost in the offensive zone

Erod P/60 - 1.39
Girgs - 1.22

The difference is minuscule

The idea that Erod needs to be locked up long term makes about as much sense as locking up 22 or 28 long term.

I disagree. If Mittelstadt gets hurt, I'd rather have Erod to play 2C than Larry or Girgs. As long as he doesn't play with those two or Sobotka, his offensive numbers will improve

Tage Thompson is the only Sabre who’s play was diminished by those line mates.

None of the three belong anywhere near the top 6

Of course. Because that’s the same for any player on this team

Rodrigues managed one more 5 on 5 goal than Thompson in 200 more minutes

Like I said. They’re all offensively inept for the most part

Hey so assists do matter now ?

You're using goal scoring and offense interchangeably, which they are not.

Vesey and Rodrigues will be 2/3rds of a competent 3rd line this year

None of them should be the 2nd line center under any circumstance. None of them are that great.

- jcragcrumple

No I’m using their overall production. Not just goals

They’re production rates are low end 3rd line/4th line production

Being the best of a bad bunch isn’t a reason to lock someone up long term.

I hope he stays for a year or two. Max though.

- Mentalorgasm5

They shouldn’t be 3rd liners either, really

And I respect Erod and Larsson have good underlying numbers.

That's fine, but if mitts gets hurt, or if Eichel gets hurt and Mittelstadt takes his place, would you rather have Erod or Girgs there centering the 2nd line?

Both should be on the 4th.

None, we are boned if that happens, and would be telling that botts is once again unprepared.

Both should be on the 4th.
- Mentalorgasm5

And it would be a good 4th line.

I’m actually fine with Estud on the 3rd line for this year if he plays with some shooting talent.

But in 20-21 he needs to be a 4th liner/13th forward IMO

It’s the fantasy land where he’s good offensively that I choose not to live in

Its why we really need two more top 6 forwards.

Skinner Eichel Reinhart
Johansson TBD TBD
Vesey Mitts Sheary
Larsson Erod Okposo

olofsson is second liner potential

johansson IMO is not


but if casey is ready, that changes everything

olofsson-casey-reinhart
vesey-e-rod-johansson
sheary-larsson/sobotka-girgens/okposo

Well me neither since I’ll be 86.

I saw a lot of people at the stones concert that didn't know where they were friday

And it would be a good 4th line.

Good offensively and better than Girgensons has a wide gulf between them.

it's so wide tage might be able to put a shot between the posts

Good offensively and better than Girgensons has a wide gulf between them.
- Wetbandit1

Ain’t really wide though. That’s the point

Their scoring rates aren’t that different

One plays high end third line minutes and PP time right now

And yes, I’d take Erod over Girgensons

My point is one shouldn’t be put in the “lock up long term” tier while we talk about waiving the other one.

What is your obsession with how guys start seasons? All that matters is where they end up.
- Wetbandit1

False

Our team has started each season poorly recently.

We need a good start to keep any hope of the playoffs past Christmas.

Where the player "ends up" is important, but not all that matters
