Miller’s walking the first chance he gets.
- bloatedmosquito

Maybe not if he is part of the leadership
Group. Petey is not leadership material. Miller = alpha

Is OEL deserving of Edlers "A" ?
- Benny Blanco

He's been a leader for years... so I'd say yes.

Miller?
- NorthNuck

Miller didnt look much like leader material last season. I thought he was captain material the season before though. Not sure what to think at the moment.

I considered JTM.
I think he’s a hot head and a bit of a whiner.
I think Petey would be better suited to take the responsibilities

Petey is a whiner as well. Not sure your leaders should take their time getting up after being dumped so often while staring down the refs. Its a constant. His comment in Sweden wasnt that big of a deal but his add on was not so wise if you are supposed to be a leader...talking about "next contract I don't know".... that just leaves too much open. I don't know... he really doesnt seem like a great leader to me so far.

Different style by Petey. JTM is abrasive in communication. OEL is new so A's go to JTM and Petey. Each will center their own line probably to lead on ice.

When the team starts winning again all this downer talk will disappear.

Book mark it so you downers get a lesson. No one's walking if getting paid and team winning.

Wanna talk about nuts?

Don't forget your suggestion to offer sheet Petey on the Kraken thread. You stink ass turncoat.

I don’t think JT is here long term.
Give Petey an A and allow him to learn to lead from Bo and OEL.
Neither of which are “Alphas”

Give him an A to incentivize.

Sure...why not.

The C should go to the goalie. Voila!
And A's to the swedish mafia.

It's a small concern for now. Putting teams on notice 'we'd better have a winner built in 3-4 years' is a pretty arrogant move by a player...but also he and his agent are probably frustrated a deal isn't done and want to get things going. A bargaining tactic basically for the media to overblow...which they did lol

Photoshopped I hope. Look at that goof, just did a line. Captain material, and what Beagle and Roussel "A",s. They've set the bar high.

C ya in the press box

It's actually quite comical. On pace for back to back 60+ point seasons and has a poopty +/- in an odd year and it's trade or AHL time lol. With Edler finally gone and some support coming back for Hughes on the D, he'll be back competing with Makar for the Norris before you can say we need a 6 million dollar bottom 6. Total. lol

I wouldn't rag on him if he wasn't a defenseman or if they came out and said he's a 3rd winger (just like Burns from SJ a few years ago) where he has no defensive responsibilities and just moves the puck up the ice. If you want to be paid like a Doughty or Karlsson or Hedman you darn well better be able to do everything like them which includes playing shutdown D against the best lines in hockey.

The fact that people are pointing to his offense as the best reason why he should be making 8+ mil and using comparables like Heiskenen and Makar (one of whom played in the SCF 2 years ago and won the Norris this year and one who beat QH for the Calder and was a Norris finalist) is laughable. If people want a Paul Coffey (which is who QH most resembles in playstyle/skillset) that's fine, but Coffey wasn't the guy they had on the ice in the last 2 minutes of a close game and needing to hold on to win and that's not your 1D in that case.

Hughes is tier 2 money not elite.
