oddoublee Posted January 27 Report Posted January 27 Awesome idea for a thread! Better: Girgs. Perfect 4th line player. His stone hands are real...but he skates fast, to the net, and gets back on D. Sign him again this off-season. Better: Power. His contract is a Trainwreck. Not his fault. Not our fault. He has the body of a teenaged giraffe. His best hockey for us is 2 or 3 years away. Better: Only because it seems 50% of the board is ready to move on still...Mitts. So much so, I think he is the teams best all around center. Which leads me to the next... Worse: Cozens. Contract was a massive overreaction by the front office. To be fair, not his fault. He should have been bridged at best. Or Mitts should have been given 7 million, with Cozens being used to solve our top 4 D and/or bottom 6 lack of depth issue. He is a 3 C/ top 9 F on a playoff team as of now. We over committed. Worse: Dahlin. Although based on the posts, I am not as alone as I thought. His D responsibility is poor. Not being cruel...it is simply poor. He hangs on in the offensive zone way to long. He is virtually useless during important D zone faceoffs. Thank God he is still young and can improve still. Worse: Skinner. Wonderful goal scorer. But he is horribly irresponsible on both ends of the ice. Terrible on ice role model on a young team. On a good team, he is a 5 million dollar player getting 12-13 minutes a night. I was a defender of him in the past... watching him more closely, I have soured this year. Worse: Levi. Been saying it since the summer. He belongs in Rochester for 1-2 years. He is all about habit and structure. College hockey allows that more easily. The NHL does not. Always was going to be a rude awakening for him and his desire for zen. He needs time to learn to be an adult pro. (If the Sabres don't F it up, I'm bullish on him). 1 Quote
