Quoting: Tjm220
The point for you is you think he is a goon. To me, he’s not. But what he definitely is is better than Robinson and Jost put together, and he cost less than either one of them. He’s not a perfect player, I’m sure he has his issues. But an upgrade is still an upgrade. Vegas obviously sees something in him too or he wouldn’t be there. I’ll bet you wouldn’t say he’s not a hockey player to his face.
umm i bet I would tell him he's a goon not a hockey player to his face any day.
I also bet he'd not take that any where near as seriously as you do, because he knows that is true too.
If what you want is someone to run around hitting people in the 8-10 minutes of ice time you give them, with no ability to contribute anything else like PK or whatever other than fighting, there are plenty of players capable of doing that looking for a chance.
Just look at NYR they added in Rempe and if one day he learns how to fight they will have a proper goon at 6'7 240+ LBS.
It's not hard, just admit what it is you are looking for and stop making excuses for it.
Obviously they want people who can do more.
As much as you rag on Zemgus Girgensons atleast his corsi is 50% and he's not bleeding goals 5v5.
Jost on the other hand is just a contract waiting to end. But they should have known that before they resigned him, but they needed a center.
As for Robinson, he was a free player. What did you expect. You needed a body you got one.
did you really think you were getting an allstar when BUF got him for a conditional 7th that he can't even fullfill.
Come on.
They could have played Rosen but they rather let him develop.
