Hooray!

And I mean that sincerely, it’s just this forum that makes everything look sarcastic.

Seattle passed on him

Chicago wants to dump him, as they are picking up Jake McCabe to replace him.

I assume the cost will be minimal, as it's a cap dumb for Chicago.

Zero offense.

Hopefully a 2023 pick. Or, maybe they move the 2nd they got from FLA.

This should not be a 2nd.

Hopefully at a 3rd at highest.

I will be sad if it's anything higher than a 3rd.

Yikes. He's a decent #4 (penalties are blegh) but that is to steep. No way he is worth more than tanev

Hamonic replacement at a lower acquisition cost? Big Z smash.

Probably the Panthers 2nd we got from dealing Bennett.

That's my guess

I’m hoping it’s for a 4th. Max.

This is actually where he didn't do well. He's not good at reading the play, so the longer to develop situations, like defending against an opposing teams cycle or on the PK, is where he tends to get lost. He does great defending against the rush both because of the threat of a big hit and because he has the size and athleticism to react to players and shut them down.

With the inconsistency there are times that he looks like he is about to turn the corner, and for a few games he is simply unstoppable. Then he hits a wall and everything falls apart.

He is actually fantastic off the rush, his skating is really good for a guy his size. When he was with Colorado he would be one of the defenders that was able to shutdown a guy like McDavid with his size and skating. The problem is that he easily gets lost when trying to defend a cycle.

The upside to him is that he can absolutely turn a game around with a huge hit, he is one of the biggest hitters in the league and almost every hit is clean. The downside is that refs hate him, he will get plenty of calls against him simply because he is bigger than someone. One of the most consistent things you'll probably notice is that opposing players tend to know he's on the ice and they are more likely to dump it in on his side to avoid getting smoked. His outlet passes are...not good, it's like he doesn't realize he is a gigantic human being and he just rips passes that people can't handle.
This is what we actually need though, someone who can actually clear the zone and not try to chip muffins up the boards.
