He held his own & showed some promise. Lots of energy & was noticeable.

Thanks, he's always had a gritty edge to his game from reports and good wheels.

Small sample size but reminded me more of Motte than Highmore, Highmore isn't nearly as physical as Motte, barely throws one hit per game.

If only Lind could improve skating.
He’d be a nice mid 6 winger.
Could be a solid bottom 6.

Lockwood could grow into a good 4th maybe even a good 3rd liner.

Really need prospects like them to develop quickly & not need UFA’s.

Weren't you the 1 complaining about the Vanek for Motte trade and the fact that Motte does nothing, after the TDL, when he was acquired, or was that someone else?
Highmore, like Motte, will be an effective player in the bottom end of the lineup. A huge improvement over the guy he was traded for.

Please explain to me the difference between a mid 6 and a bottom 6?
Thanks in advance.

In my way of thinking mid 6 has scoring skills that can move up to the 2nd line. Eg Hoglander

Bottom 6 energy & skating that might chip in. Eg Roussel

3 scoring lines is needed nowadays.

Doesn’t sound like me. Motte’s an elite bottom 6 player, well worthy of protecting in the expansion draft. Highmore will be a solid bottom 6 player too but he just plays a different style, less physical.

Thanks Carol

Benning and Green? Naysayers have a timeline now. Don't know if I like that though. Like knowing a series is gonna end, see GOT. They never "nail it" . Usually they mess it up even worse, see GOT. I think draft will tell the tale. (E and entry) If he can move Loui, and Jake (musts) they might get somewhere. Holtby isn't bad next season, we can improve the D (just the play) his numbers get better. Shine that turd up and he'll get got at the TDL.

I get my shot on Wednesday

Heh, heh. This one got posted a week into the "Two Weeks to Flatten the Curve" . Kinda prophetic. His girlfriend has lung issues and he's been on the cautious side involving the pandemic. (first YouTube music video to get a YouTube fact check that I've seen) Its a year and a month later. I hope everyone is doing what they need to do to keep their loved ones safe.

Motte...Vesey...Boyd...Highmore...are we on the way to a solid producing less than 6 mil total bottom 6?

Better for the 'cap' lol. We'll see if that bottom 6 can get us within one game of the conference finals.

Congrats. You're firmly in the 2nd class and have no concerns moving forward...

Except that uncomfortable feeling that you aren't on team Pfizer. The rapid heartbeat, quick sweats, clammy feeling aren't side effects. They're long term effects knowing you aren't a first class canadian.

Ask Don, he's been suffering these effects for months, not knowing. Now that he's down in AZ he realizes he's just as well off as everyone else and feels great. He secretely is embarrassed he wasn't Pfizer material. Moderna is nothing to be ashamed of.

I'm happy for you, team Pfizer.

- golfingsince

Now, I specifically asked for Moderna so I wouldn't be like Maywood 😉


I kid, I kid.




Or do I?

Congrats!
You must be relieved that it wasn't that AstraZeneca garbage that Don got.

- Marwood

Pretty much. Though I understand it that people who register now only get Pfizer or Moderna... people who go to pharmacies get the AstraCrapica.

Well none of them have produced so far this season. Our bottom 6 stats must be the worst in the league. Including before these new guys came in.

Better for the cap, faster, younger, and outside of sutter, Better analytically as well. Hard to argue they wouldn't be better overall. Beagle, roussel, LE are all terrible

At the end of the day, those are still bad bottom 6 players (all) compared to the rest of the league

Big time, most of them have under 5 points in 30 games. Vesy has 3 assists in 30 games. Boyd has 2 goals in 29 and that’s it. Pretty bad.

Holtby has 1 assist lol

The fact we have the ability to protect a player like Motte shows how terrible out team is

We should see if we can trade protection spots lol

Bo Boes Miller Petey Hogs are the only forwards we would even want to protect if they all needed to be protected I know they don't but thats bloody sad.

Hughes and rathbone on d. What a bad team lol
