Ya know, just saying. He’s a pending UFA…it’s common for players to ramp it up in the stat department (goals, nobody respects assists) in a “contract is up” year. I’d be all teeth for “captain” Bo’s goal forays but with his team crumbling all around his much adored 16 goals that to me is a red flag. Something is afoul, something ain’t right. But if we could somehow trade Bo’s 6 assists for Mr. Generous Matthew Barzals 21 assists then man do we have a centre - 16 goals 21 assists!!2Fingers wrote: ↑Thu Nov 24, 2022 12:44 pmSlight adjustment to your post to make it more accurate.Topper wrote: ↑Wed Nov 23, 2022 5:08 pm
I didn't understand the hard on to retain Miller ahead of getting Bo signed. If either need to be moved for cap reasons, Miller is my choice for a plane ticket. He had a great year last season but stunk the previous year with bad decision making and lazy play. We are seeing that play from him this year.
In my mind, Bo is horribly under rated in Vancouver by RD and only RD. He's a career minute eating beast against the opposition's top line, one of the best face off men in the game and plays a power forward role from centre instead of the wing.
Bo's role definition hasn't changed since I first saw him play for Canada in the WJC. He played 3rd/4th line centre then, not because he couldn't play 1st or 2nd line centre, but because no one else could play the role he did.
I also think his skating has always been under rated.

2017 1st OA pick - Hischier - 10 goals 14 assists
2018 1st OA pick - Dahlin - 8 goals 15 assists
2019 1st OA pick - Hughes - 11 goals 14 assists
2020 1st OA pick - Lafrenierre - 3 goals 7 assists
2021 1st OA pick - Power - 0 goals 9 assists
2022 1st OA pick - Slafkovsky - 3 goals 2 assists
What’s wrong with Lafrenierre? I thought he was generational?

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
1st overalls should fall in to a different category, no? Also Jack Hughes had 26 goals and 30 assists last season. Lafrenierre is not on pace to having the season Jack Hughes had in his 3rd year post draft year, so I believe it’s a legitimate question to ask - what’s wrong with Lafrenierre?Topper wrote: ↑Mon Nov 28, 2022 8:03 pmThought I read you saying it takes high 4 years for a first to properly develop.Chef Boi RD wrote: ↑Mon Nov 28, 2022 6:23 pm 2017 1st OA pick - Hischier - 10 goals 14 assists

Zack Attack Pack MacEwen with a good scrap vs Matt Martin
https://www.hockeyfights.com/fights/n26 ... nmjs_gKUQQ
MacEwen does pretty well and is off to a pretty good start this season (3G and 7 pts). Torts seems to like him and Big Mac is getting a chance to play some top 6.

Hintz is a better all around centre than Bo is. Bo isn’t getting Hintz money.
