Quoting: DontToewsMe19
How is this "a hot pile of garbage" or not enough, I understand that they shouldn't be retaining salary, but the players/picks are good. They can flip AA for another 1st, Hayden was point per game in college, Fortin has EXTREMELY high upside and he isn't bad as it is, Forsling is an offensive defenseman who is young and could replace Barrie in a few years, Pokka is a great D prospect he just isn't doing well in Chicago, a first in a really deep draft, and a 2nd. At least explain what how this is a "hot pile of garbage".
Ok, I'll do this.
Anisimov: never had more than 45 points in 8 seasons. He isn't being "flipped" for much, considering his contract.
Hayden: unknown. if college stats were a precursor to anything, nathan gerbe would be martin st louis
Fortin: I can't find anyone named a. fortin at hockeydb.com who was even drafted. are you saying they are really high on a guy who as a 20 year old in the Q managed 52 points?
Forsling: offensive defenseman? had 8 points in the AHL and 5 in the NHL
Pokka: turns 24 mid season and hasn't played one single NHL game
for
Duchene: seasons of 70 and 67 points (3 others over 50) still 26 years old
Barrie: good offensive defensemen who has scored over 50 points.
so yea, pile of garbage for those 2 players
