Quoting: Rags21
Berard looks way better than Sykora. They’re both the same type of player but Berard has more offensive skill. It’s a no brainer to trade Sykora
Theyre not the same type of player. Berard is more of the offensive guy, Sykora is more of the small pesky physical player.
Sykora has played 44 games playing physical, tough, under your skin hockey... and has 0... ZERO penalty minutes.
Ok, so you keep Berard... where do you play him? If we keep Sykora, where do we play him?
Edstrom and Rempe have definitely secured a place on the 4th line. Cuylle, Kreider, Panarin... Othmann, LAF, Kakko, Vesey, and then eventually Perreault... Where are we playing them?
