Episode 282 - Vladimir Tarasenko and the Red Wings Roster Problem 

Tarasenko is gonna be as good or better defensively as Perron was.. guaranteed

Here's my take from watching Tarasenko in Ott. He's strong along the boards, and he's reliable in a system. He isn't overly physical, but he can deliver a solid check now and then. When it comes to his speed and shooting, he's more agile and cunning than strictly fast, and he's still decent and making space for himself to get a shot off. That being said, he performs best when he has a solid setup guy who can give him the space he needs. He really doesn't shoot much unless he feels it is high % chance.

45:11 I feel the same way about the Chychrun trade. We lost offense (which Chabot can bring but can he be healthy) but brought in a better defensive presence in Jensen (regressed a bit last year but was still better defensively than Chychrun) which balances out our D more. I think the Sens have a few issues with their roster too, especially since Perron and Amadio prefer to play RW (I liked Amadio down the middle with Vegas so I hope they put him there) and Perron can HOPEFULLY be the 3RW instead of praying he can be a 2LW (its possible but super unlikely). It really feels like both our teams are close but its a matter of finding the right guys and balancing the roster which I think both teams have done really well so far

hard to wait for nate danielson, he shined in the prospect tourny.

I would sign Berggen to a 3 year extension - higher AAV, but he's still an RFA after that contract which is great. We know that Berggen produces offensively and this year he would very likely get a regular spot in the Top 9. Could be a steal of a contract if he produces like in 22-23.

Didnt Trouba put Detroit on his No trade list? Thought rumors of Trouba to Detroit were dead.

I like you guys, you're way better than others around here👍🏻👍🏻

Really want these guys to trade for ekblad, or another top 4 RHD

What if Terrasenko, Kane and Raymond all play RW, and they try and roll 3 balanced lines? I could see them trying it, and while there's definitely ways to make it work, my bet would be Lalonde screws it all up

Both 4th rd pics are traded. One team gets the earlier. One gets the latter.

Tarasenko agree he will I will give B+ or a B goal tending betterment play off this

Trouba not happening cause of the the no trade clause lol but as for if there where to trade for him you would definitely have New York retain rather then sending holl to them This still allows you to trade holl with assets to free cap space. If not you stuck with trouba full contract

The Tigers won again 10-1 yesterday.

14:50 ironically they don't need all that much luck. Patrick Kane had THE worst takeaway-to-giveaway ratio of all forwards on the wings last year. I haven't checked because I know he didn't have the most giveaways (close though), but I'd be fairly certain he has the highest giveaways per minute on ice. I mean, just look at the first AZ game, a bunch of AHL'ers just freely skating up to Kane and picking his pocket every time he had it. He's terrible at protecting the puck 9 out of 10 times, but that one time he'll do an incredible protect so you forget the bad ones. He will sit behind the circle just halting play for ages though, especially on power plays he'll just stand there for long stretches doing nothing, and that's how his possession goes up. Seriously, just go watch a few of his games, pay very close attention to Kane, and tell me I'm wrong.

Very similar lines. I had ... Raymond, Larkin, Terasenko Debrincat, Compher, Kane Berggren, Danielson, Rasmussen Motte, Copp, Fisher Veleno

The Jeff Petry Disrespect is unforgivable

Did people just not pay attention to Danielson turning the puck over like a prime Mark Sanchez?

Buy petry out

Trade petry to priority waste for future considerations

Copp? You are smoking hash!
