if it wasnt us it was going to be someone else. I'd rather be the one benefiting from the dump rather than idling watching it happen.

Absolutely. Here are a couple of his goal highlights to get an idea of his offensive game. Not a driver of the play as @Pete said but he's nnot exactly along for the ride either.

I'm bringing up the vacuum be yase you're asking why they didn't get more for him and brought up Zibanejad which is an odd take. On a stacked team Vatrano is out there last night in ot for the gwg 3 v 3. He's not Vesey. At all. Vesey has no foot speed. Vatrano does. Vesey had never scored 20 goals on a season. Vatrano has and aboutb4 other times paced 20 goals over a full season. Vatrano brings energy. Vesey brings midol. But whatever. It's quipping just to argue.

You're taking the.trade in a vacuum though. Twice Vatrano has had over 100 hits in a season. Saying he hits as much as Ziby really doesn't mean much to me. Florida is a stacked team. They can't play everyone and Marchments development made Vatrano spot expendable. He's just not even remotely close to Vesey though. It's a good trade. We want even strength goals. He can bring that. We want depth. He can bring that. It's not a ground breaking trade but it's along the lines of addressing a need.

You spelled gourde wrong

He’s nothing like Vesey. Vatrano is fast, hits, and has an nhl shot. Vesey is none of that.

Yeah, I'm not disagreeing there but I just don't want them overpaying for that one area specifically.

Sold!

Well honestly, he’s a lot better in Detroit this year than he was with us previously. He’s just a depth add. He’s a +10 on a team where most everyone else is -infinity. Only two guys on the roster that are also not in the -. Well, not if you are giving up close to nothing for him. He’s still a guy with over 100 playoff games in his career compared to 28 for Nemeth. And paired with Schneider who is fairly mobile, it would be a decent fit. I’m not saying to target getting him but a team going into the playoffs could benefit from a guy with over 100 playoff games under his bel5 all with us already. He’s not having a horrible season.

Vatrano Gourde Goodrow that’s a third line !

He does most of his scoring at EV too so there’s that. Very good trade while giving up very little. Last 4 years 24 goals in 81 games, 22 at EV 16 goals in 69 games, 12 at EV 18 goals in 56 games, 16 at EV 10 goals in 49 games, 9 at EV no brainer trade. Has played both wings I believe too

Finally, #77 back on broadway

Not bad, not bad. 10 goals this year. Gives some depth and can slide up and down the lineup. Ufa at the end of the year.

I wouldn’t be opposed to bringing back Staal for our third pair with Schneider

Well I didn’t know there was a comparison to Josh Anderson specifically. First I’m hearing this. Gourde is just a target I’d go for. I wouldn’t be opposed to Anderson if he weren’t under contract until 2027. they actually are pretty similar players but Gourde plays a bit more well rounded game and can play center or wing. They both score a large chunk of their goals at even strength. Gourde is the better playmaker though and the better penalty killer. Then the fact that he’s won two cups and knows what it takes to win. Gourde plays a high temps game just like Anderson. He just isn’t a huge banger but he certainly doesn’t shy away from the game as it gets tougher by any means.

Is it time to discuss whether the Golden Knights could actually miss the playoffs? 3-7 in their last 10. Losing again tonight. 4 teams within 4 points of them with Winnipeg being one of them and thrashing them as we speak. 4-9 with Eichel I believe soon to be 4-10

Oshie is so sick in shootouts.

I’d die a little every game

Pens losing 3-1 going into the third. caps isles in ot

I love this team and this season. Fuck yeah!

Boom! Game! Set! Match!

Probably his last game announcing now lol

Lol how did no one guess Gretz?
