St-Louis decline
They signed Hoffman because they wanted him
They are contenders ...

St Louis would prolly decline a 1st.

They want to win the Cup, not rebuild

Not gonna trade a guy now they signed 6 minutes ago. Maybe at the deadline if theyre out of it.

People have been saying that since 2015 when mcdavid was drafted

"We just signed amazing depth in Turris, Ennis and Kahun! Easily the best team in Canada.".

At least people are coming to their senses quickly.

Sanford might be available later in the season. We probably won’t protect him during ED. Blais as well. We’d probably look for prospects or picks in return due to our forward depth.

What we need is smarter decisions coming from coaching staff. We have better depth than ever player personal is not an issue the choice of who plays where is. I can’t wrap my head around reuniting mcdavid and Leon that’s something we have seen countless times by multiple coach’s and got us nowhere what has gotten us somewhere is nuge leon yam how isn’t that the default fall back plan.

😂😂😂😂😂

I saw someone yesterday claim Nurse is better than Muzzin😂😂😂

I think we reunite that line but what do we do on mcdavid’s line?

Mike smith is slated to be back Feb 10

Turris can’t drive the line.

Of course he can't, this isn't a surprise, it's a known fact

Get a good look at jp there and keep the left side fluid rotation of guys until something clicks would be my top choice. I liked nygard next to mcdavid once Neal comes back not against giving him a few games. Definitely not against giving benson a shot instead of leaving him sitting around gaining rust. Lots of options

JP isn’t playing at the level he needs to to be up there. He’s bobbling pucks. From what they are saying Benson is super slow and he can’t get in on the boards and win battles. He’s got hands but no feet which might even make him a career minor player at this point.

Idk if I’d say jp is bobbling a lot of pucks. I’ve been very impressed with him thus far I think easy been the best on his line. He is constantly moving his feet has made a few very good creative passes. My only knock on him right now is his shot it appears softer than it was in the past which can be resolved simply by adding more confidence to his game.
Benson well we don’t know any of that till things are attempted I project him to be a skilled 3rd liner and it’s not exactly unheard of to be the type of fit next to a superstar. Kunitz with Crosby strome with Panarin maroon with mcdavid never know how things will work out until attempted. Just looking to catch some lightening in a bottle anything that will gain traction.
