Morning Mashup: Lebought out?

Personally I disagree. I mean the guys where physically ready and where well develope, smart hockey players. While Bailey can still surprise, maybe these guys just aren’t that good?

I really think either Burke gets Grabovski signed by the trading deadline, or he will become available in a trade for someone like Stastney. Connolly could fill Grabovski’s role on the 2nd line and Burke gets a young 1C.

The fact that Lombardi’s injury wasn’t covered by insurance made it hard for the Preds to gamble on Lombardi getting better. Like Keon said’ Franson was the price the Preds paid for the leafs to assume that gamble. One good hit could knock that player out for the rest of his contract…that’s big money

I’m not so sure about Komi. He played with Markov in Montreal and how much was hidden by that fact. I know he would be much better in a trap system but IMO the only way he plays top 4 is if his partner is a top flight d like Markov.

i get where you guys are coming from with the schenn shouldve played another year of junior but in his case he was ready to learn on the fly. He was physically and mentally prepared to learn in the NHL so while he played well his first year and struggled the second i still feel like he learned more being in the nhl than if he had played junior one more year. bailey and gagner were no brainers though especially bailey that islander team stunk and bailey was so undersized there was no way in hell he shouldve been on that team all season long.

No, he gets a player who’s almost as good as Grabovski to be his top line center.
