Nylander and and a conditional 6th for Laine

I will NEVER trade a 6th. They're the most important picks in a draft.

To be fair, he said "conditional"

we could make the condition that if the sixth winds up a good guy, we'll give them the 5th instead.

I don't care what line he plays on, but I think he needs reps in a game

Do you ever step back and say:


Larsson is playing pretty good, he should continue to be in the line up.

Tage isnt playing well, he needs to be out of the lineup.

It's not like were benching dahlin or even casey.
It's slow tage were sitting

IMO, no. Larry has played well. He deserves to come back in. The issue is that Tage is sitting before guys like Sobotka and Zemgus who have no offensive skill AND have played poorly as well.

There are a few reasons why I believe Tage is and should be sitting

1.) He is young and just like what happened in the beginning of the season sitting a game or two tends to help younger players develop by watching the game from upstairs

2.) He is a winger, both Sobotka and Girgensons can play center

3.) He doesn't kill penalties and both Sobotka and Girgensons are excellent at it.

4.) When an offensive player is struggling like Tage is he grips the stick even tighter and ends up making more mistakes, guys like Sobtoka and Girgensons have no offensive upside so at least they still play well enough in the defensive zone.

5.) This is a short term benching for him, now if Tage sits more than 2 games then there is an issue

This is one of the few instances where I don't mind Phil sitting a player.

I can live with that. I'd rather trade a 1st OA than a 6th.

points minus powerplay

Girgensons--11
Thompson--10
Sobotka--10

They are effective penalty killers though.

Tage is one dimensional.

One look at the current NHL standings tells us all we need to know about the purpose of the third point (three-point game).

The last place team in the West is only like 6 points out of the last playoff spot, and the East isn't too much behind.

But those last place teams are actually bad this season, regardless of skill. I think this can compound frustration for fans like where we are at: We really were dreadful last year and we really are playing a lot better this year, but the separation we see within the current points system doesn't show just how much better we are than a team like Ottawa this season.

They really need to drop the 3-point game or just bring back the tie, god forbid. When you play an 82-game season, a tie isn't a bad thing. Or move to the three-point shoot-out format after the all-star game to make the playoff race more exciting.

His elite tallness ended Koivu's season, unfortunately

Interesting.
Some posters who loved Tage 8 weeks ago have soured on him recently.
Not saying you are orcwere wrong, jyst interesting.
Equally so, I was sour on him initially, but have come around and deferred expectations of him until alot more development time is given him.
I'm not convinced he will ever be a top 6 and he sure isnt a 4th liner...so I guess I am hoping he can deliver suitable 3rd line production in another 12 -18 months.

3 point regulation wins makes all the sense in the world. An extra point for OT games has never made sense.
