I’m curious to see how many of their C prospects end up on the wing. Pool is very shallow in that department compared to other positions. Studs and Frederick come to mind. I know the team likes them in the middle ling term, but Studs especially won’t play any real minutes at C this year.

Which brings me to a question:
I know that any time an ACGM team comes out with Studs on the 4th line everyone immediately dismisses it. But hear me out: his coaches at Providence loved his 200 foot game and put him the PK1. Cassidy has already given him PK minutes in camp showing what he thinks of Studnika’s defensive game. Would giving him some time on the 4th line be such a waste of his time? If he’s going to stick in Boston this year after Pasta comes back where does he play? The top 3 lines are set at center and RW so does he spend the year in Providence again developing more at center or get more reps at the NHL level sliding up and down the line up? Also consider just how bad the 4th line was last year (on both ends of the ice). Does getting a little more skill on that line help?

Just curious to see what people think

Unless there’s a trade for a top pair LD that’s flying under the radar I think the existing roster is what the Bs start with and I’m coming to terms with it. My question is what’s the leash for guys like Zboril, Vaak, Lauzon? Even Gryz as a number 1 pairing. I know that Zboril looked great in Prov last year, but it’s a big ask to have him slot into 20 minutes a night. Same with Vaak (who has had his work ethic questioned by Cassidy). In a normal 82 game season those guys could easily get 20+ games to prove themselves. In a 56 game condensed season, that’s almost 1/2 the schedule.

So is it 15 games? 10? If Boston is 4-6-1 after the 1st couple weeks and the left side is a disaster, what’s planB? Is anyone of any value going to be available in February? How much would they have to overpay to get him?

Starting to get a little nervous is all

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>Few things here.
1. No, I’m not going to find a stat that ranks Murray lower, because i think those stats are stupid.
2. If you don’t get to see a guy play much, before you toss him a big contract and a top pair assignment, see if he’s been traded for a 5th round pick in the last few weeks? If so, maybe stop and find someone else.
3. Murray’s, “ilk,” is overpaid 3rd pair guy. I might be being a smidge overly critical here, as maybe he could find a shut down pair role with Carlo, but based on the context you’re using, Murray is trash.
4. The Bs go to internal options. Vaakanainen, Zboril, Lauzon etc. if they don’t work out, they’ll go get someone who’s better than Ryan Murray.</div></div>

Fair enough

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>This post is a very good example of how destructive the fancy stats can be.

Watch a damn hockey game. No, Murray isn’t better than Shea Theodore...are you kidding me? Do you think columbus just decided to trade a first pair d man for a 5th round pick?

So to answer my original question, no. You do not know who he is. He’s not a first pair guy. He’s not worth half of what you gave him. This is junk.</div></div>

I agree that he’s not better than Theadore, especially since Theadore seems to have made a big leap this past year. We can debate the merits of “fancy stats” and I’m sure that you could find one that ranks Murray lower. I just used what I could find.

I live in New England so I get to see Murray play the two or three times Columbus plays vs the Bruins if that. So when I want to discuss a player or include him in an ACGM team I have to look him up on the interwebs. So, again, if you have numbers that show that Murray shouldn’t be where I have him I’m willing to change my mind.

And if not Murray or someone of his ilk, where do the Bs go for LD?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DiehardRedWingsFan58</b></div><div>Basically the cost to take on Tyler Johnson's contract, Would be a 2021 1st round pick plus a 2022 3rd round pick plus one of Katchouk/Foote/Raddysh or ABB in other words extremely expensive for Julien BriseBois to cut him loose.</div></div>

Teams like DET and OTT that have some cap room but are not competing in the next couple years are going to want huge incentives of picks and prospects to take a big $ contract. Even a guy like Killorn whose deal is a little easier on the wallet will have to be packaged if it’s to a non contender. Why spend money to finish 3 spots out of the playoffs if it helps to finish near the bottom, acquire better picks, develop younger players and preserve cap space?
