We gonna be trading for that contract?
UFA in two years. Smart move on his part. He’ll get cake.
Yeah I guess I included grit / toughness in the more complete package. He definitely has that going for him.UWSaint wrote: ↑Mon Jul 29, 2024 10:13 amMegaterio Llamas wrote: ↑Sat Jul 27, 2024 6:56 pm IMO Konecny is a more complete, more consistent, more durable player.I like Konecky, and agree with Blob that he plays with more of a bite and is a better play driver. But at the same time, he's Horvat-like when it comes to using his teammates.Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Sat Jul 27, 2024 9:59 pm I'd take Konecny over Brock. He's played with far poorer centers than Boeser. He plays with a bit of bite and he drives play.
I don't think he is "more complete" than Boeser; he's different. Boeser plays with a very high IQ, with and without the puck, and is a better playmaker and has a better shot. Konecny is pretty ineffective on the power play; Brock is good on the PP, screening, hand on rebounds, etc. While Konecny hasn't played with as much skill, Boeser plays a game skilled players love to play with, Konecny not so much.
Konecny plays a more kinetic game; Boeser's game has become quite cerebral. Konecny is a dangerous penalty killer (can cause turnovers and turn them into goals); Brock doesn't kill penalties and would haven't that hop if he did.
They are both good players players who are on the edge of what you want out of a core player, but that's certainly Konecny's role in Philly because there's not much else there (will be interested to see Michkov).
That is a very tradable contact that takes him to the big payday 1st Ufa deal two years down the pipe. Reminds me of the Miller numbers when Vancouver acquired him (4 x $5.25M).
Who did Rob Blake trade Faber for again? Kevin Fiala? Wonder if he’d like a do-over on that one? Not sure about Blake as a GM. Coulda done a whole lot better with the Toffoli asset. The acquisition of Dubios was downright awful and giving up on Faber? Drafting Turcotte instead of Seider? How does Blake still have a job there? He better hope Kopitar and Doughty don’t retire soon.Megaterio Llamas wrote: ↑Mon Jul 29, 2024 10:01 pm Brock Faber 8 x $8.5

Yeah I was thinking the same thing Chef. It was Faber and a 2022 first for Fiala. Throw in the Dubois trade and some questionable drafting in the first round and you have to think Blake has a very strong bond with the ownership there. Most people would be fired with a track record like that.Chef Boi RD wrote: ↑Tue Jul 30, 2024 2:58 pmWho did Rob Blake trade Faber for again? Kevin Fiala? Wonder if he’d like a do-over on that one?

Blobby is a staunch defender of Mr Robert Blake...I think he like the big ol' ghetto booty hip checks he used to lay out. I bet he's shaped like the RootbearStrangelove wrote: ↑Tue Jul 30, 2024 3:49 pm I've noticed alotta Kings fans at HF despise the very core of Rob Blake.
